It's time for the 2nd Annual International Festival! Learn about different countries and cultures, sample foods from all over the world, and enjoy a parade and performances. We'd love your assistance with running country booths: Sign up here to help and/or to bring a dish.
STEM+ Families Science Kits
Keep learning during Spring Break with STEM+ Families science kits! Each student will receive a kit containing 5 science activities. Send us a photo of your student with a completed kit by 4/17 extended to 4/22 (or e-mail it with your student's name to treasurer@javargaspta.org ), and you'll be entered in a drawing for a prize!
