The PTA will meet this Tuesday, September 17, at 5:30 p.m., right before back to school night. It’s a great time to sign up for the PTA and find a little about is!
Join & Support the PTA
There are two ways to become a member or donate to the PTA:
Complete this form and mail it back to the school with a check:
English form
Spanish form
Join or donate online with a credit card
NOTE: you will be charged a credit card fee of 3.3% + 0.50 per transaction.
Please support your child and the student community at LJMS by joining the PTA and making a donation to support the PTA. This is the ONLY school wide fundraiser we hold during the year. Your donation here means that students do not have the task of going door to door to collect money or deliver goods. Your support is crucial in covering the cost of field trips, student planners, staff appreciation, after school clubs, registration for school teams at competitions and more.
Your time is equally important in supporting and enriching the learning experience at our school. Please visit our Volunteer Page for more information.
2024-2025 Reflections Call for Entries
Reflections is a National PTA-sponsored program that encourages students to express themselves through the arts. Students can submit work in the following six categories: Dance Choreography, Music Composition, Literature, Film Production, Visual Arts and Photography. Student submissions are reviewed by independent third-party judges based on artistic skill as well as interpretation of the theme. The winner in each category moves on to the County level, then possibly to the State level and finally to the National competition. This year entries can either be submitted digitally.
This year’s theme is “Accepting Imperfection”
Visit https://jacksonmspta.org/reflections/, or pick up and return entry forms to Ms. Lundeen’s art room 410.
Deadline: Friday November 15, 2024.
Visit the Reflections website to see entry guidelines for each art category. If you have any questions, please contact the Reflections program Chair Meredith Caldwell at reflections@jacksonmspta.org

Support the LJMS Food Pantry
The PTA is excited to continue our work with the LJMS Administration as we work to expand the structure and outreach of our in-school food pantry. A number of our students and their families rely on the food support we are able to offer through this program. By working with Luther Jackson’s Family Liaison and Social Worker, we are uniquely positioned to eliminate hunger as an obstacle to learning.
PTA Fundraising through glass recycling
Glass Goat was launched by LJ alumni to help with glass no longer being accepted by Fairfax County in recyclables. They offer a curbside glass pickup service that makes it easy and simple to recycle your glass responsibly without hassle. They are owned and operated entirely by hard-working teens, give a free custom bin, and send timely text reminders the day before pickup!
LJMS PTA gets $20 for each sign-up, use code Tigers20. https://glassgoatrecycling.com/
