It's Coming! 
Our 2nd Annual LJES Spell-a-thon is Right Around the Corner!

Last year, we raised over $17,000 during our  

Spell-a-thon-online with just 30% of our student body soliciting donations from relatives and friends.

 

Imagine what we can raise

with 100% participation!

 

Spell-a-thon-online is an easy and effective way to quickly raise much needed funds for our school.

Our kids will be learning while raising money, and parents will not be asked to reach into their own pockets!

 

Aunts, uncles, grandparents and neighbors will love the chance to support your child's education and our school!

 

Stay tuned for more information about registering your children for this fantastic fundraising opportunity!
