Students and staff had fun with our Grinchy Day at TJ!










Today was TJ GRINCH DAY. 💚 These grinches were caught trying to steal our holiday boxes! When they realized the true meaning & spirit of the holiday their hearts grew & returned all boxes! 💚❤️💚





Thank you to The Compass Church of Naperville. Mr. Cocallas' friends Ed & Mina donated 150 wrapped boxes for our TJ students to use for their PE holidays games. A few of our TJ 3rd graders helped unload the Uhaul. It's the most wonderful time of the year, we are very thankful.



Tis the season holiday games day 2 was a blast, TJ students are having so much fun together while staying active, healthy & strong!








Tis' the season & all students will be having fun playing holiday games the next 2 weeks. These pictures are from today! Thank you everyone for sending in empty wrapped boxes. Our goal is 1000 boxes. We have collected just over 700. Please continue sending boxes in all this week.
Thank you!
