Chick-Fil-A Spirit Night

Our Chick-Fil-A Spirit night is coming up on September 24th from 4:00-10:00.  Take a night off of cooking and come out and enjoy a quick dinner.  A percentage of the proceeds are donated to the school.  We will be having a stack the sauce competition between some of our awesome teachers and/or staff at 5:15.  The Chick-Fil-A cow will be at the restaurant in the evening, and will also be stopping by CJ Harris in the afternoon.  Due to the hot temperatures, the cow will only be outside for a short time during dismissal.  

Back to School Week

The busy back to school week is in full swing.  We had a great turnout last night for Kindergarten orinetation. If you need school supplies, we have some Kindergarten and Pre-K packs available for purchase.  Kindergarten packs are $43.00 and Pre-K packs are $31.00.   We will be at the school today and tomorrow from 3-7 selling school supplies, PTA memberships and school spirit apparel.  We will also be available on Friday morning after teacher meet and greet.  Stop on by, and find out  more about what CJ Harris PTA is all about.

School Supply Packs Still Available Direct from EPI

EPI, the company we get our school supply packs from, has packs available for purchase if you were not able to pre-order yours.   If you need supplies for a student entering 1st through 4th grade at CJ Harris this fall, contact EPI at info@educationalproducts.com, or visit their website at www.EPISupplies.com. 

If you have a Kindergarten or Pre-K student, packs will be available for purchase at the school before and after Kindergarten Orientation on August 20th at 6PM.   If you have any questions, contact me at CJHarrisPTA@gmail.com.

New Spirit T-Shirt Designs

With the changes to the school dress code policy, students can wear approved spirit t-shirts on any day. With that in mind, we have designed two new spirit t-shirts for this year.  Here are this year's designs.

These shirts will be available for purchase on August 20th before and after Kindergarten orientation which is at 6:00 PM, during teacher assignment on August 21st and 22nd from 3:00-7:00 PM, or after teacher meet and greet on Friday August 23rd at 8:30 AM.   The order form is available at the sidebar on the right hand side of this page.  We will also send order forms home with students after the start of the school year.  The blue shirt will be sold for $7.00 each, and the green shirt will be sold for $10.00 each.  Adult 2XL shirts will be an additional $2.00 each for both colors.

Teacher Appreciation Week

The PTA planned a luncheon for the teachers and staff today to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week.  We provided a Catered lunch from Big Humphrey's Italian Restaurant including lasagne, mannicotti, salad and garlic bread.  Drinks and desserts were donated by PTA members.

Thanks to all our volunteers for your donations and you time.  It really helped make this event a success.  The teachers and staff enjoyed the food.

An extra big Thank You to all of our teachers and staff for all you do to make CJ Harris such a great place for our children to learn and grow.
