50th Anniversary Events
It ís hard to believe the summer has come to an end. Our 50th Anniversary committee, co-chaired by Julie McQuiddy and Tammy Shumer, was hard at work this summer preparing for the year long celebration. Here ís a little taste of what we have in store.
The e-store is now open! Parents can shop online for new and fun JCDS logo items. Click the e-store button (on the right) and start shopping. Thanks Yogita Badarinath and Carmina Aldana for making this vision a reality.
Aly Leeper and Rebecca Witt have been spending their summer planning a 50th Family Picnic to remember. Our theme is “Beach Party - Surfin’ Since 1960”. Just think back to beach blanket bingo and limbo contest. You get the idea. Save the date September 10th from 5 -8 p.m.Watch out for upcoming 50th celebration details here on our website. You can also reach us through Facebook.
