RISE UP!
From the Office Thanksgiving Food Drive Every year, SJCS partners with CityTeam Ministries for a Thanksgiving food drive which is now underway. Each classroom has a large barrel that we want to fill with non-perishable food items. The drive culminates this Thursday, November 15, with the all-school Thanksgiving chapel in which the students will hear from CityTeam’s new director of family services about how the food will be used. Please consider how you can support this effort.
School News Yearbook Pre-Orders This year SJCS will be ordering yearbooks from Treering.com. TreeRing creates yearbooks for the internet generation. The Silicon Valley, CA. based technology company is providing a new approach to the two hundred plus year old yearbook industry. TreeRing takes advantage of the latest technology in just-in-time digital printing that allows for efficient, extremely high quality printing of one to one items, and the collaborative power of online social networks to create personalized printed yearbooks that commemorate each child's unique school experience. The process reduces the yearbook creation and financial burden for schools and invests in our planet's future by planting a tree for every yearbook printed.
Attached to the Tiger Tracks is a flyer highlighting some of the fun new changes associated with Treering. In addition, you have the option to personalize your very own yearbook with two individual pages that you and your student create. Submit your order by November 30, 2012, and you will receive 5% off the yearbook price. You also have the option of upgrading to a hard cover yearbook. The deadline for submitting your personalized pages will be early April 2013, but to get your 5% discount be sure to order today! To order your yearbook: 1. Go to www.treering.com/validate . 2. Enter the school’s passcode (1013449838724379). 3. Enter all necessary information. 4. Order your yearbook and pay as directed. 5. Start looking for fun photos to include in your personalized pages. 6. Remember, you do not have to personalize your pages today, ordering today only provides you with a 5% discount. 7. Have questions, contact Mrs. Muir or Mrs. Singh in the office.
