Our students loved meeting Ped Bee, viewing the firetrucks and getting their very own neon safety vest.

Plus, it was fun seeing all our walkers list their names on a Paw Print. 

Thank you for working so hard to make Jag-a-thon 2015 a success.

Not only did we have fun running to the fabulous music of DJ Jeff Nelson, but the combined efforts of everyone at school helped us surpass our goal and together we raised an impressive $35,052.78!

In addition we had 350+ students running, 70+ LWSD approved volunteers and a big Jaguar Jungle cheering section.

We might be a small school, but we have a BIG heart and live in an AMAZING community.

Thank you to our volunteers, our school staff and all of our donors and sponsors! Every student and staff member that ran today had a huge smile on their face and we couldn’t have asked for a better school event.

As a reward for reaching our $30,000 school goal, our PTA will be bringing to Juanita students and staff a fun, educational school assembly with Bill Robison, scheduled for Friday, November 6th.

Stay tuned for more details and check out what his assembly will look like here.

Physical prizes including t-shirts, sweatbands and zipper pulls will be delivered to students in a few weeks.

We are excited to announce that our PTA is teaming up with Clothes for the Cause for a Clothing and Textile Drive.

Not only will you be helping out our planet, but also raising money for our Outdoor Education Program!   So start collecting unwanted clothes, paired shoes, towels, gloves, hats, blankets, sheets, quilts, drapes, purses, belts and even used stuffed animals.

These items do not need to be in good condition.   As long as they are kept clean and dry in a plastic bag, 98% of household textiles can be recycled.

Our clothing/textile drive will correspond with Earth Day on April 22nd and our goal is that each student collects 3 bags of items.

Spread the word and start saving now to make a difference in 2015!
