Lots of Events at JYJ

JYJ Book Drive

   JYJ is participating in the WAKE Up and Read Book Drive sponsored by WCPSS and Barnes & Noble. This program puts quality books in the hands of children who may not have reading materials at home otherwise.

   We’ve set a goal for our school to collect 2,000 children’s books March 2 – 28. On March 28 the entire school will have a Pajama Day and set aside a time to “WAKE Up and Read” our favorite books from 8:30 – 9:00. If our school collects 2,000 books by March 28, our principal, Mrs. Hutchinson, has promised to wear a rooster costume on that day!

   We are also having a friendly competition here to see which grade level can bring in the MOST books. The children at that grade level will receive a special treat. So look around, clean out your at-home library, and send in those books!

A Visit from the Dental Hygienist

   Last week, a Wake County Dental Hygienist visited our school. She taught us all about the best ways to take care of our teeth. Each student was given a free toothbrush donated by the Great Raleigh Dental Hygiene Association and the Wake Raleigh Dental Society.

   This association recommends that parents supervise their children while brushing (at least twice a day) until the age of 10. The association also recommends fluoride toothpaste, regular dental checkups twice a year, and eating the right foods to keep a healthy smile.

JYJ 5K

   This Sunday (March 9), Joyner will host its annual 5K Run. There is still time to sign up. It is a great fundraiser for the school and an opportunity for families to spend time together in a really healthy way. The run begins at 2:00. We hope to see lots of you there!
