LOOKING THE PART - ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE


At Back-to-School Night, NEMJDS announced our partnership with Land's End Uniforms as the supplier for our school shirts.  In an effort to keep the shirts affordable, NEMJDS will place a group order to take advantage of their current sale:  SAVE 30% OFF ALL LAND'S END MERCHANDISE PLUS RECEIVE FREE SHIPPING IF YOUR MERCHANDISE TOTALS $50 OR MORE. On sale, the approximate cost for a student shirt is $18 including tax.  Please email Robin Berger at rberger@nemjds.org by close of business Friday in order to take advantage of the sale (ends Tuesday, Sept. 3rd). The Day School will bill participating families a one-time charge for their Land's End order on their Smart Tuition account.  Please note that parents will be informed regularly of any future Land's End sales.
