Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Back to School Kickoff Event last night! We hope you had as much fun as we did. Special shout out to Kona Ice, William's Famous Fried Chicken, Decigas, and Mr. Griffin for the wonderful food and entertainment! Thank you to our TJ Staff and Families for making this such a fun and memorable event.
We hope you can join us for our "Back to School Kickoff Event" tomorrow evening at TJ! We have a variety of events taking place inside the building from 4:30-8:00 p.m.
Beginning at 5, we'll have Kona Ice, William's Famous Fried Chicken & Soul Food, and Decigas food trucks set up near the back playground for families to purchase food or refreshments from. We will also have a DJ and a variety of activities on the back playground for students and families to enjoy. We invite you to bring a blanket or lawn chair to sit back and relax on the back playground in between grade-level sessions or training sessions. This is a great opportunity to get to know other families in our school community at TJ!
Check out the attached graphics for additional information or reach out to us in the comments with any questions you may have about the event.
Please note, there will be additional volunteer training opportunities offered throughout the year if you are unable to come to the volunteer training sessions being offered tomorrow night.

actions to show others we care — skills that
will pay off relationally for a lifetime!
