Mark your calendars: Internet Safety Night is Back!

News Posted by juanitaelpta on Jan 22, 2020 in Event, General News

The Juanita Elementary PTA is excited to be once again sponsoring this FREE educational session to learn about ways to keep your kids safe online. Stefanie Thomas has experience working with law enforcement in the area of online exploitation of children. Topics include: Cyber Bullying, Social Media use, Online Gaming, Sexting, Cell Phone and general internet safety tips.

This event is open to the larger community. We expect the discussion to center around sensitive topics so this event may not be suitable for younger children.
Stephanie will also be visiting our upper grade students and giving them a similar, age appropriate presentation.

Please email [email protected] if you have any questions!

Annual Earth Day Clothing Drive

News Posted by juanitaelpta on Mar 09, 2019 in General News
This Friday begins the kick-off of our annual 
Clothing and Textile Drive!
“If it’s not sparking joy, let it go!”
 
Do you have clothing, fabrics, shoes, or other textiles that no longer “spark joy” in your life? If so, please Marie Kondo your homes over the next month to Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle those items while raising money for next year’s 5th grade overnight camp outdoor education program on Bainbridge Island.
March 15 – April 15  we are competing in a National Earth Month Clothing and Textile Drive competition where the top 3 schools from each state win cash prizes for their school. Currently there are only 26 schools in Washington competing, so we have a decent chance of coming in as one of the top 3!
If each student brings an average of 3 – extra large trash bags full of clothing, fabrics, and textiles (including worn shoes), we can reach our goal of collecting over 10,000 lbs! This Friday there will be large “usagain” bins in front of the school to deposit your items. Enclose all items in plastic bags before placing in collection bins. 
Please see the attached flyers to learn more.
Spread the word to all your friends and family!
For questions, email [email protected]
