Jonesburg Elementary School

As some of you may know, Mrs. Cathy Weatherford, one of our first-grade teacher's husband was recently diagnosed with lymphoma. We have had several people reach out asking how they can help. The Weatherford family resides near Silex and we wanted to share this opportunity with you as a way to show your support. If you know Mrs. Weatherford, my guess would be that words like kind-hearted, giving and caring come to your mind. Please join our JBE Family in showing her family your support through your thoughts and actions in their time of need. As always, support can look many ways including a kind smile, a nice note or another gesture of giving.

The Larry Richards Club Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive is November 15-18. Students may bring in non-perishable items to donate to the food drive. The class collecting the most item will win a class party.

ATTENTION 4th and 5th Grade: Wednesday, November 16 is the last day of gardening.

As we plan for our Veterans Day Celebration, please let us know if you have a Veteran who will be attending. Please send in the Veterans Day Celebration RSVP by Thursday, November 10.

This year we are really focusing on Growth at JBE and we are going to try something new. On November 4th, we will be hosting our first Growth Parade of the year.

The parade starts at 8:05 on November 4th.

It's the first Wednesday of the month, that means it's JBE day at Frumpy's. Frumpy Joe's has generously offered to donate 10% of their sales to Jonesburg Elementary! We are very thankful for the continued support we get from our awesome community! Thank you to Frumpy Joe's for thinking of our students!

We have partnered with USAgain to collect clothes and shoes. This company will pay us 2 cents for every pound collected and will plant a tree (somewhere, not on our property) for every full bin. The bins are located on the southwest corner of our building. We will start spreading the word to the community soon and hope it will help the earth and raise a bit of money for our donation account.
