TRAVEL Based on Hawaii Department of Health recommendations, LJA continues to discourage elective travel. If travel becomes necessary, please notify school.nurse@lejardinacademy.org. REMINDER: SCHOOL ON TUESDAY Two additional instructional days, February 16 and March 5, were added to the school year calendar to compensate for the two days (August 17-18) used to prepare for our shift to distance learning at the start of the school year. These dates are listed on the original SY 20-21 calendar as Professional Development Days. See you on Tuesday! SHAPIRO SCHOLARSHIP FOR MILITARY FAMILIES LJA is proud to offer the Shapiro Family Scholarship, established by Mke '83 and Maria Shapiro to honor and help U.S. military children attending LJA. As a child of a Marine helicopter pilot, Mike's family made their way to Hawaii in 1970 and he and his siblings attended LJA. Shapiro thoroughly enjoyed his time as a student here, so much so that after vacationing in Hawaii in 2016 with his family, he was compelled to create this scholarship to benefit military children attending LJA. The deadline to apply is February 15. For more information and to apply, click here. FOOD DONATION GUIDELINES As a reminder, in order to ensure COVID safety, all food donations must be prepared in a commercial kitchen or store-bought and individually wrapped when sharing with classrooms and on campus.
