Can you please help us make the PTO Carnival possible? Our officers cannot do it alone. We need volunteers to help make this event successful. You DO NOT have to come up with a game, just sign up to work it. Everything will be ready for you. It takes a village and we need you in ours.

JBE PTO needs your help! Can you donate a silent auction item by February 13th? Would you like to be a shirt sponsor? Can you work a shift at the Carnival on February 22nd? Contact the JBE Office, a PTO Officer or sign up on this sheet. We can't wait to enjoy Food, Games, and Fun with you at this good old-fashioned family fun event. Mark your calendars for Sunday, February 22nd from 11am-2pm in the JBE Gym.

Volunteers can be parents, grandparents, community members, high school students, etc. We appreciate all the help we can get! We appreciate your support and generosity in helping our PTO provide field trips, shirts, classroom supplies, fun and so much more to our students and staff.

Please share and tag anyone who you feel would be interested in attending the carnival or supporting the JBE PTO! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QKP1Yn84wIT_AZo6X63aNLNeaTwKjVkV_Ekz_GR8Ng8/edit?gid=2024831267#gid=2024831267
