Sizzling smokey summer days!

August 2021

Hi friends

Hope you are enjoying a wonderful summer!

Please remember to let me know if you have moved, or know of a new family that we can welcome to PJ Calgary.

PJ Our Way families - remember to choose your books from today until August 10th.

And for families whose children are eligible to join PJ Our Way (8 1/2 - 12), the good news is that registration is now automatic - all you have to do is go online and choose a book!

Please contact me if you are clearing out your bookshelves and would like to donate some PJ books, or if you would like to come in and choose some PJ books and take some treasures home. I'd love to see you!
