Is Your Child Registered for Next Week's Spell-a-Thon?   
Our 2nd Annual LJES Spell-a-thon Begins Monday, Feb. 4th 

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!

 

Registration is open now and takes just a minute, so click here to register today!    

 

Teachers and students will be focusing on their 50 grade level "essential spelling words", then each child will be tested on those words during the week of February 4th during class. Relatives have the opportunity to support your child and our school with their donations (either per word or flat amount).     

  

For more information about registering and soliciting donations, as well as a list of FAQ and answers, please click here.
