TJMS Food Pantry

This month, due to the days off of school at the end of the second quarter, 

we will be open on Wednesday, January 22 from 3-4 instead of Saturday January 25.

The TJMS Food Pantry is open twice a month and available to any family at TJMS that could use some assistance.  No preregistration is required!  Any family that could benefit from the pantry is invited to come on the second and fourth Saturday of each month 8-10 am.  Look for our new blue awning at the front of the school!  Here are the dates the pantry will be open this month:

January 22 (3-4 pm)

If you would like to help support out pantry, we will be collecting donations of an “item of the month” each month this school year.  All food donations can be dropped in the donation bin in the main lobby.  The items we are collecting in January are:

Canned meats, such as chicken, tuna, or salmon and condiments, such as ketchup, mustard, and mayo.

 

If you have any questions or need more information, please contact Michaleh Snider (mcsnider@wsfcs.k12.nc.us).

Patriot Pride Stores

The Patriot Pride store is in need of your donations. Please send in sodas, store-size candies and chocolate bars, and any type of school supplies. 

The Patriot Pride store is open to all grade levels at Jefferson once a month, 

so donations are needed all year long.

The donations may be sent to the front office and labeled "Patriot Pride".

Many thanks to all who have donated to this cause this year!
