Coof Caf' Accounts

As we approach the final days of this school year we would like to thank you for the support of the Cool Caf' at Jax Country Day. We also would like to remind you to please bring all accounts to a zero balance as quickly as possible. If you have returning students, please know that your positive balances will carry over to the next school year. Also, the EZpay system will be shutting down for the summer on June 8, but the system will be available for you up until that time. If you have any questions, please contact Chef Bryant, who will be more than happy to assist you. Thank you again for your continued support.

Library Books

With just nine and a half more days of school, it is time to begin our library book round up. Please return any library books as soon as possible so we can begin our inventory process. This round up helps us find wayward books and know which books need to be replaced before the beginning of the next school year.

We know our great readers love their books! While we will not be checking out any more books from the Jax Country Day library this year, we'd like to remind you that your local public library is gearing up for a fantastic summer reading program. Check with your local branch for details about shows, presenters, reading logs, prizes, and more!

Uniforms

RC Uniforms & Embroidery is offering a 10% discount for all purchases made during the months of May and June (closed May 27 to June 4). Also, if your items are too small at the beginning of school you may return them up to 30 days after the start of the next school year.

Donate Your Old Recorders  

Two of our alums, Catherine and Margaret Odom-Tomchin, are collecting old, used soprano recorders to help children make music! The girls will completely clean and sterilize the recorders and take them to Guatemala on a mission trip this summer. They will give them to children there. There is a box in the Music Room where you can place the instruments. Please note that our current fourth graders may not donate their recorders to this cause. We are still using their recorders. Thanks so much!
