🦃 **Trot for a Cause: Supporting the Y in Central Maryland** 🦃

At Lillie May Carroll Jackson Charter School (LMCJ), we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. We're excited to announce our participation in fundraising for the Y Turkey Trot Charity 5K, a fundraiser benefiting the Y in Central Maryland's Open Doors fund. This fund is crucial in ensuring that everyone, including us, students at LMCJ has access to inclusive and healthy Y programs.

**Here's How You Can Make a Difference:**

Your scholar has the opportunity to take part in our Crew Challenge—a friendly competition where every bit counts! Encourage them to bring spare change to school for their crew's "change war." This loose change will add up and make a meaningful impact on our fundraising efforts.

For those who prefer electronic payments, you can conveniently support your scholar's crew through this link, where you can find your scholar's specific crew and make a donation.

Your generosity will help us continue to foster a sense of community, promote healthy living, and provide valuable opportunities for our students through the Y in Central Maryland.

Join us in this exciting journey of giving, and let's make a positive difference together! Thank you for your support and dedication to our cause.

With gratitude,
Stephanie Okonkwo

LMCJ's Community School Coordinator

ABOUT LMCJ

LMCJS opened in August 2015 and is home to 250 scholars in grades 5-8. It will serve 350 scholars at total capacity in the fall of 2019. LMCJS provides an experiential learning environment for middle school girls. Our educational philosophy focuses on actively engaging students with relevant content to help them develop their skills and broaden their experiences. We partner with Expeditionary Learning to provide structure and create practices that support this philosophy and have successfully implemented many elements of EL programming. LMCJS is an Expeditionary Learning (EL) School, an outgrowth of Outward Bound. The EL model challenges students to think critically and take active roles in their classrooms and communities, resulting in higher achievement and greater engagement in school. At LMCJS, learning is dynamic, challenging, meaningful, public, and collaborative.
