Jonesburg Elementary School

On November 3rd, we will be hosting our first Growth Parade of the year. Our teachers have been talking to students about the importance of stretching ourselves and growing. Each student will help choose what growth they want to celebrate and make a sign to carry in the parade. Guests will be invited to sit in the gym bleachers and watch the parade.

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.

JBE will be hosting a Harvest Party Day Parade at 8:05. Parents are welcome to watch the parade from the bleachers in the gym. Parents will be asked to leave after the parade and will be welcome back at 2:30 for Harvest Parties. Fall Harvest Parties will be held from 2:30-3:30 on Tuesday, October 31st. Your student's teacher should be reaching out soon for help! Please make sure you RSVP if you are planning to help with Harvest Parties so we know who to expect in our building. Teachers may be asking for help from parents with snacks, crafts and activities for the Harvest Party. Parents will be allowed to drop snacks or activities off in the morning or during the day if you are unable to send it with your child. Please make sure it is labeled. Snacks during the party need to be store-bought, pre-packaged and preferably healthy. Other items such as pencils, stickers, etc are always welcome. It is acceptable to send home a small treat bag of individually wrapped treats. Please refrain from sending items with icing as this could cause major messes on the bus. Students will be allowed to dress as their favorite book character, wear a fall shirt, Wildcat shirt or come as themselves. We ask that the costumes are school dress code appropriate and that there are No Masks, No Inflatable Costumes, No Weapons (including swords & sabers), No Gore, and No Blood. Students will NOT be able to change during the day. If they are dressing up, please make sure it is something they can be comfortable in for the entire day and that it is not a distraction to learning.

Jonesburg Elementary will be remembering Veterans Day on the week of November 11 on our Facebook page. We are asking students and staff to submit names of their special veterans to be included on our Wall of Honor. Please fill out the form by Wednesday, November 1st. Forms were also sent home in Friday Folders and would need to be returned by Wednesday, November 1st. A veteran is a person who is currently or has at any time served in our Armed Services. You may also submit a photo of your veteran. You may email a digital copy to addavis@mc-students.org or send in a physical photo. If you send a physical photo, please make sure it is label with a student name as well so we may return it. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeZuyXWrw8yIwLaY5g-y6Dwr802G2C4upK8KWAijRX1km2eAA/viewform
