Wahoo's & Thasos Lunch Program Has Begun
Sign-up by Thursday 9:00 AM
We are very pleased to let you know that our lunch program has been successfully launched. We have forged a strong partnership with Wahoo's and Thasos Greek Grille focused on common beliefs about education as well as providing nutritional meals at a good value. Based on these mutual desires, we've designed an affordable, nutritious lunch program with a marginal profit of $1/meal (versus $2.50/meal in our previous program) benefiting the 8th grade commencement trip. Your support in this program will contribute to the successful funding of this important milestone trip for all future 8th grade classes. By joining together, we are creating a sustainable solution. Click here for the printable order form, or use our eOrder Form link below. Use of either form needs a check written to Journey School and must be turned in to the school by Thursday at 9:00 a.m. to provide meals for the following week. You are welcome to order weekly or monthly. eOrder Form: If you have trouble viewing or submitting this form, you can fill it out online by clicking here. If you have any questions regarding your lunch orders please contact Carolyn Hatalski at cgh@witsmith.com. |
Save the Date - March 3rd is Auction Night!
Get ready to gussy up and have fun at the Annual Auction! This year's theme will be "Founder's Fiesta" to honor the families who created Journey School. The event will take place at El Adobe Restaurant in San Juan Capistrano. Note that the auction will be held earlier this year on Saturday, March 3rd to help lessen the year-end crunch of activities. Invite your friends and friends of Journey to join in the festivities.
Click here for important details from Parent Cabinet on class donations and how you can help make this year's auction a success. Your Room Parent will provide additional information on your class theme.
Please contact your Room Parent or Parent Cabinet Rep if you're interested in helping find business donations, decorating, or organizing the auction this year. If you know of a local business who may be interested in making a donation, click here for a copy of this year's donation letter. |

Journey Knitting Group
Come learn to knit or just to knit on Thursday mornings in the Parent Cottage from 9 AM to 11 AM. We'll be doing scarves and, for the more ambitious, hats. Other projects are welcome. The group will begin January 19. For the first session, we'll talk about the materials and projects people would like to do, and perhaps get started. |
E-Waste Collection
There is a box in the office to gather e-waste, such as old cell phones, GPS devices, laptops, etc. More information with specifics coming next week. |
Lost & Found
LOST & FOUND is the area below the outside bulletin board by the office - items both on the pegs and below. Since we end up with so much, uncollected items will be donated monthly so that they don't take over, and the campus remains tidy. If names and/or a grade are noted in an item, our new Lost & Found coordinator, Rev. Beebe, will do her best to leave it at the appropriate classroom. |
