Fairfax County provides only a very small amount of the funding needed to allow the more than 300 students on TJ's academic teams to compete each year at local, state, regional, national, and even international competitions. We rely on donations from the TJ community to help pay for everything else.

How Online Payments Work
Each time you select an item you will press the Add to Cart button which places the item in your shopping cart. You may purchase one item or several items. You will see your shopping cart each time you add an item to it.
Each item in your cart has a quantity field so that you can change the quantity to order. To remove an item from your cart, click on the Remove check box next to the item and then press the Update Cart button. Two buttons on the lower right of the cart will allow you to Continue Shopping or Checkout. You can press View Cart at any time to check on your order
When you are done shopping, simply click the Check Out button in the cart and follow the directions on the payment screens. Your payment information will be handled on PayPal's secure server offering you 128-bit encryption for the highest level of security available.
How do I pay?
Paypal Website Payments accepts VISA, MasterCard, Discover, Amex, and PayPal. Use credit or debit cards.
Is PayPal safe to use?
According to the PayPal site:
PayPal protects your financial information with industry-leading security and fraud prevention systems. When you use PayPal, your financial information is not shared with the merchant. Once your payment is complete, you will be emailed a receipt for this transaction.
Internet Explorer vs. Firefox
This application was tested in Internet Explorer 6.x and Firefox 2.0.0.12. It should work OK in these browsers, unless PayPal changes something, in which case, contact the webmaster. Other browsers were not tested and may or may not work. Switch to IE, if you have a problem with other browsers.
If the shopping cart appears in a new window or tab and the "Continue Shopping" button doesn't work, try manually switching between the two windows or tabs as you shop.
