Be sure to turn "ON" the AmazonSmile setting on your smartphone!

We recently discovered that after you register your amazonSmile account with James L Dennis Elementary, you may still have to turn the "AmazonSmile" setting to "on" from your phone app. This ensures purchases made from your phone apply for your chosen charity! See the steps below for help. 

AmazonSmile is the same as Amazon, but allows .05% of purchases to be donated to the charity of your choice! AND - You can now choose James L Dennis Elementary as your charity! See HERE
