Student Birthdays
Student's birthdays during the year are acknowledged over the morning announcements during the school year. Summer birthdays are announced on their half-birthdays (Birthdays in June, announced in December, birthdays in July announced in January and August birthdays announced in February). When a student's birthday is announced over the morning announcements, they come to the office for a birthday certifcate and choose either a birthday pencil or wrist band. Sometimes parents want to provide a treat for their child's class in honor of their child's birthday. If you feel you must send in a treat, it would be preferred that it be a healthy snack and remember that
The State Department of Education requires that all treats brought to school be commercially prepared.
We strongly encourage you to consider sending in a non-food option such as:
-
Parents can come to school on their child's birthday and read a book to the class.
-
Provide a birthday treasure box for students with small toys, books, notepads, pencils etc.
-
Allow your child to select a book of their choice to be read to the class and donate the book to the classroom or school library.
-
Provide a free time activity to celebrate at the end of the special day.
-
Provide a birthday bag with cake mix, frosting, napkins, and candles, wrapping paper, bows and tape to donate to the food shelf in the birthday child's name.
-
Send a collage of baby pictures for your child to share.
-
Birthday Ball-parents purchase a ball, classmates sign it, students get to use it at recess in honor of the birthday student(s) and the birthday child can then take the ball home as a memento.
-
Donate a game to the classroom to be used during indoor recess.
Please contact your child's teacher for further information.

JES Fundraiser
JES PTO Fall Fundraiser is under way & will continue through Tuesday, September 26th. We are doing the same fundraiser as last year--Cherrydale frozen foods/gifts, wreaths, and as always, cash donations are welcome as well. Packets have been sent home--please see the fundraiser packet and choose an option that works best for your family. If your child sells 25 Cherrydale items, they get to go on the limo ride! JES PTO supports our JES kids and staff in so many ways throughout the school year and the funds truly enhance our kids opportunities at our school. Without your support, JES PTO wouldn't have been able to give $15K towards teacher requests last year and fund a $30K playground addition that is coming this fall. Thank you for your continued support and involvement in enriching our children's school experience. If you have questions about the fundraiser, please contact Josie Colleran at
