Bluejay Bulletin

Due to technical difficulties with the web-based fundraising system, the Jay Run has been re-scheduled for Friday, October 16. This will allow more time for students to fundraise for another successful Jay Run. The technical difficulties should be resolved shortly and fundraising information will be emailed to students and parents. Thank you in advance for your continued support of this annual event!
