We are thrilled with the overwhelmingly positive response to Olympian Threads. Olympian Threads is a thrift store located at door 11 of the JTASD High School. The program is run by the special education department as an instructional opportunity for students to learn work based skills. This is provided in a simulated environment that closely resembles a place of business similar to a clothing store in which they may be seeking employment for after graduation. The store will be open for high school students to shop throughout the week at designated times. We also hope to include hours for the community to shop prior to board meetings and/or committee meetings. Once we have the dates and times confirmed the information will be posted on the district website. All questions and information pertaining to donations being accepted, hours of operation, inventory and general questions about Olympian Threads should be directed to Fawn Meli, Director of Special Education at the email : fawn.meli@jtasd.org.
