COMING SOON: READ-A-THON!
📚 What Is Read-A-Thon?
Read-A-Thon is a fun reading fundraiser that encourages students to read while helping our school raise money! It also gives family and friends an opportunity to support and motivate your child to read even more.
Our Read-A-Thon begins Monday, November 2, 2026!
Next week, we will send home instructions explaining how to activate your reader’s personal page. This is where you can track and record your child’s reading progress.
We chose Read-A-Thon because it’s easy to participate in, encourages children to develop a love of reading, and helps strengthen their reading skills. Plus, students can earn fun rewards and prizes along the way!
Where will the funds go?
All proceeds will go toward supporting our students and teachers by helping purchase essential classroom supplies, including copy paper, composition notebooks, spiral notebooks, chart paper, and printer toner. Funds will also support student incentives and teacher appreciation.
Thank you for supporting our Trailblazers and helping us build a stronger community of readers!

Good afternoon JLJ Families,
I am excited to share some GREAT NEWS!
Students at our school will now receive FREE on-campus after-school childcare and programming through the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Austin Area. We learned recently that we have received multi-year grant funding to support our families and staff with this free service.
The Boys & Girls Club after-school program is open to all students ages 5 and older, including Pre-K students once they turn 5, and runs until 6 p.m. each school day. It includes after-school care, high-impact tutoring, enrichment activities, and an afternoon snack, all at no cost.
Enrollment is now open through the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Austin Area. If you have any questions about the program or the enrollment process, their team will be happy to help.
We are proud to partner with the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Austin Area to bring this outstanding after-school program to our students and families. We hope you'll take advantage of it!
