"The 'absorbent mind' welcomes everything, puts its hope in everything, accepts poverty equally with wealth, adopts any religion and the prejudices and habits of its countrymen, incarnating all in itself. This is the child."

Bring your lawn chair, blankets and family to join us for our Year End Festivities
 
The Year End Festivities are scheduled for Friday, June 4th at 5:30pm (rain date, June 11th). This is a time when we get together as a school to celebrate the end of the school year. This year, our focus will be on community building with some fundraising (emphasis on the FUN): the older students (primary afternoon and elementary students) will perform songs and then we will auction off the classroom items.  All of our students were involved in creating these masterpieces.  Pictures of these amazing creations will be sent in a seperate email. Following the auction, there will be refreshments, after which the playgrounds will be open to students, siblings and visitors. This event is open to all families and extended families. Please join us on Friday for a fun time!
 
 We encourage all students and their families to attend this event, to allow younger (non-performing) students the experience of what it is like to be a 'good audience' and to get a glimpse of what they can look forward to when they join the afternoon classes

Alex's Lemonade Stand 
 
Dear Parents and Friends of MANJ,
 
The PA will be hosting an Alex's Lemonade Stand during the Year-End Festivities as part of our Community Outreach Program. Our children will be helping to prepare and run this stand.  If you are not familiar with Alex's Lemonade Stand, it is an organization started by a young girl named Alex.   You can read more about her extraordinary efforts to fund research for childhood cancer at:  
www.alexslemonade.org/
 
We are looking for a few parent volunteers to aide with the stand during the festivities.   This mainly involves helping the children that are on stand duty.
 
Please contact Jenn Levas (856) 296-1075, jlevas@redfishsoft.com if interested. 
 
If you would like to just donate to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation without buying the refreshments, you can do so through MANJ's fundraising page online at www.alexslemonade.org/node/63922
Our Lost & Found Baskets
 
are overflowing. Items will be on display during the Year End Festivities along the Toddler Playground Fence. Please be sure to check and retrieve any of your child's items. All items left behind will be donated to local charity.
Get to know the Parent Association
 
The Parent Association is an organization devoted to preserving and presenting meaningful and important experiences for our children. Our efforts relieve the school administration from their intensive planning and funding, so they may focus all of their efforts on providing the best experience for our children at MANJ. For additional information on what the PA does and opportunities for involvement click here and refer to page 27 of the parent handbook.
 

 

"By age 3, a child has arrived to one of two conclusions.  It is his job to pay attention or it is his parents' job to pay attention."
