*To be or not to be... in the La Joya School Play is the question! If you would like to be in the school play you must audition on Friday August 31st afterschool.

We would LOVE to have you audition to be a part of our play.
*At La Joya, we are very proud of our campus. The custodial & grounds crew do an excellent job of making our school look clean and well kept for us. Therefore as a school we need your help to make sure our trash goes into trash cans, we do not chew gum nor spit it on the sidewalk, and we do use the sidewalks to keep the grass and flower beds looking their best.

*Attention WEB Leaders
There will be a mandatory meeting tomorrow, August 23rd at break in Ms. Rourke's room 405 to plan an upcoming activity and talk about Back to School Night.

Registration forms will be available for pick up inside the boys and girls locker rooms (also in each PE class). See Mr. Souza for any additional information.
