Dear LJES Families,
We have started a fundraiser through Spell-a-thon-online.com to celebrate our students learning their 50 grade-level "Essential Words"! Each child will be tested on FEBRUARY 6th during class so be sure to sign them up now as they need to have an account to be tested.
Teachers and students will be focusing on their 50 words through spelling games and lessons for the next three weeks. During this time, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends can also support our students through their online donations. Registering takes less than a minute - as does soliciting donations from all your friends and relatives.
Click this link http://spell-a-thon-online.com/LaJollaElementary (or copy and paste it into your browser), then click the link "Register a Participant." Once registered, you can request donations from family and friends as well as practice spelling the assigned words in just a few clicks (please wait to send your solicitation requests until the system is working properly again.)
For more detailed instructions on registering and soliciting donations, please click here. If you have any questions or don't have access to a computer to register your child, please contact Fran Shimp at FranandTodd@aol.com.
