✏️ Help LJA Finish the Year Strong! ✏️

Bad news… our pencils at LJA have officially started their summer vacation early 😅✈️ Which means we’re running very low as we head into the last quarter!

We need a few “new hires” to step in and keep our scholars writing, learning, and finishing the year strong 📚✏️ Every day, our scholars rely on basic tools like pencils to learn, create, and succeed. Right now, we need a little help to keep that going.

If you’ve got extra pencils at home or can donate pencils, we’d seriously appreciate it—every little bit helps! ✏️ 💜

Thanks for helping us bring our pencils back to full strength 🙌🏼

“Dear Lja,
You have inspired me so much I wanted to inspire others as well. Back in 2019 I was a scholar at lja. Being apart of lja really helped me understand learning and motivated me to keep going, keep learning and Now I will always ask questions and keep making choices.
I will continue to learn as I go on in life because of the inspiration you have given me.” - Scholar Alumni

We continue to bring inspiration, asking questions, and making choices!💜✨ The alumni used one of our quotes from our staff to be a mural at their school!
