Academic Support Group
It's Academic!
Our Academic Support Group is an enthusiastic group of parents and USJ staff who enhance and support academic endeavors school wide. Last year, we donated more than $100,000 for academic requests and are hopeful that the fundraisers (Auction 2007, Kroger Cards, & Family Library Night) will address the 2006-2007 Academic Area needs. Participation in the ASG is open to all USJ families and is guided by a Steering Committee representative of all academic divisions. We encourage everyone interested in academics to become involved as the ASG’s efforts are a great bonus for all students and faculty!Have an idea for the ASG? There are many ways to get involved!

Kroger cards
The Kroger company will give USJ $5 for every $100 we spend using a Kroger gift card issued through USJ. This is perhaps the easiest way to raise money for the school.
Kroger Cards an easy $1,400 a month!
We are receiving an estimated amount of $1,400 per month for just reloading, and using your USJ Kroger cards. Just ask your Kroger cashier to reload your card before you start checking out; it is that simple!
Remember, you can use the card to buy gas. For more information, or to get a card, contact Sherri Brauss (cbrauss@jaxnet.net) or Mary Jane McWherter. (maryjane@usit.net)

You can help USJ earn free merchandise such as computers, sports equipment, a/v equipment, reference books, musical intruments, and class room materials simply by collecting labels from Campbell products that can be redeemed for our school. Learn more...
