The Northwest Washington Little League offers baseball for boys and girls ages 6 to 16, and softball for girls 9 to 14. The League has a positive, kid-focused philosophy, and our players enjoy themselves, learn a lot and return year after year. All kids get equal time playing.

Teams are forming now for the Spring season for the T-Ball, AA, AAA, Majors, and Prep/Senior levels and for Girls Softball. Janney kids play in all of our divisions. New players are welcome. Get your application in immediately to be sure there is a place for your child.

To the Janney Community:

WOW!  What a fabulous auction!  Many, many thanks to Melissa and Anita for the incredible amount of time they spent in organizing this wonderful and important event.  Throughout the whole process they remained efficient, energetic, gracious, and focused.  Their good cheer and energy never wavered.  Thanks as well to the countless number of others who helped with the project, from donations to clean-up as well as to all of you who came and supported the school financially by bidding on items.  It was a great event and I hope that everyone enjoyed themselves.

Janney received a very nice honor last week from the Dinner Program for Homeless Women (DPHW).  They had an evening celebration on Thursday to thank Janney (along with other groups) for making significant contributions to the program as they continue to support women who are struggling with issues of homelessness.  Three individuals need special thanks and recognition for their support.  First and foremost, Camille Martone deserves some heartfelt thanks for all of her efforts with our monthly food donations.  She spends many hours at the shelter and deserves recognition for her tireless support.  Next, Ms. Zallman deserves recognition for her annual efforts in organizing the "walk to end homelessness" which benefits DPHW.  Finally, Ms. Green very quietly donates her time to organize the "bean snappers" and supports the food collection in other ways.  Pawprints for all three!!!!

Your child should have his/her report card in an envelope in the THT today.  Please be sure to dig it out and return the envelope (signed) so we know you got it. 

This Friday is Open House at 9:15.  Please spread the word to any prospective parents you may know.  Current parents are also welcome and as always, if you're interested in being a tour guide, please contact myself or the Open House chairs, Lori Ashford and Sharon Masling.

Today marks the beginning of the PK lottery.  You can pick up applications in the main office and they are due no later than February 14th.  Students must be four by September 30, 2008 to be eligible and you must live in our neighborhood boundary.

The "Out-of-Boundary" (OOB) lottery has been extended and will now run until March 12th.  It can be accessed online at the DCPS website, www.k12.dc.us.  Families don't need to reapply for Janney, but 6th graders who are OOB for Deal do need to apply.  Please check that you are coming from a "sending" school and you will receive preference over all other applicants after siblings of current Deal students.

Finally, please remember that our parking lot is for staff members only.  It is very difficult to get in and out of so please refrain from using it for drop-off or pick-up.  Thank you.

Have a great week!
