Harvest Carnival Spaghetti Feed

The annual 8th grade spaghetti feed fund raiser will take place at the PTO Harvest Carnival again this year on Friday, October 21. This is the main fund raiser for the end-of-the-year 8th grade celebration at Moonstone Beach. Order forms can be printed and returned to your child's teacher with payment by October 19, or you may purchase tickets from 2:30-3:30 pm from parent volunteers at the front of the school during the week of the carnival. Gluten-free spaghetti is available by pre-order only.

Enjoy a delicious spaghetti dinner and help support the 8th grade class!

Panther Pentathlon

Remember: the 7th and 8th graders are the only grades that have the opportunity to benefit from all five areas we are fundraising for!

There are less than 2 weeks left for turning in the Panther Pentathlon donations.  We have received some donations – but we need more in order for the thermometer to begin to rise!  Please help us to reach our goal of $55,000 in order to continue the tradition of excellence at JCS.

Donation packets can be turned into the classrooms any day between now and October 5th.   The Panther Pentathlon celebration event will be at school the morning of October 6th – remember to wear your class colors!  The winners of the classroom ice-cream parties will be announced during the PP!

Many thanks for the families who contribute and support the Panther Pentathlon -our children benefit immensely from the programs the Panther Pentathlon funds.
