Summer is almost over, but there is still plenty of fun to be had! See below for the calendar for this week.

General Reminders
Please remember that JJ’s Jam has a zero-tolerance policy for any behavioral issues that may arise at any time during camp. Parents will be notified and must be available to pick their child up if needed.
Closed toed shoes and socks are required. Please do not send your child in crocs or sandals.
Children will need to have their own non-aerosol sunscreen each day as we do not share sunscreen. We will apply and re-apply frequently throughout the day! Each child, including siblings, should have their own bottle labeled with their first and last name. These are kept in the classroom and parents will be notified as needed to replace this.
Outside toys are only allowed on designated days. Books, however, are encouraged to be brought in daily.
JJ's Jam events and programming can all be found on our Google Calendar which is located on our website and can be added to your calendar via the link below.
