JMPTA will be accepting cash donations that will be used to purchase Safeway Scrip to assist needing families from Fruitvale Elementary School over the holidays. Please leave any donations in the Community Outreach Box on the counter in the office. The families in the community greatly appreciate our assistance.
Thank You Joaquin Miller families, friends, teachers, staff and students. The auction and raffle brought in $73,000! There is still time to participate in the auction fun! We have plenty of spots left on some sign-up boards. Check the bulletin board outside of the office - but sign up now, we'll be taking them down on December 5th. Place your check in the office in the envelope marked "Auction Payments."
The first-ever Fall Feast Cookbook is now available for ordering. The stylish book features recipes from Joaquin Miller's annual Fall Feast, a second-grade tradition dating back 26 years. But it's more than just a cookbook. For $15, you also get a brief history of the feast tradition, written by retired JM teacher Ann Hughes, photos of current and past JM students participating in The Feast, and artwork, speeches, newspaper clippings, old photos, student/parent testimonials and more! Go here to order.
We dug around in our digital attic and unearthed some Fall Feast photos from 2001. There's a link to them on the Classes page if anyone needs last-minute costume inspiration for this Thursday's event.
