BOOSTERTHON
Our PTSO funds numerous events, activities, and items within and for our school each year. Money raised through PTSO helps with our playground renovations, student events such as field day, Top Dog, Colonial Day, Westward expansion, our school theme projects, as well as beautification of the school campus, and sooo much more!!! PTSO funds these things with one primary fundraiser: BOOSTERTHON. I'm sure your student has come home talking to you about Boosterthon and we really need your help to make Boosterthon successful. The two primary goals of the JBE Boosterthon Fun Run are to teach your student about how to play with character during Big World Recess and to raise money for those events our PTSO funds. We need your help by registering your student on funrun.com and by getting pledges from family and friends for the laps your student will run at the FUN RUN on November 6th. The maximum number of laps is 35 for each student. If you have difficulty with the sign up process, please call or send in that information to school with your student and we will help you with that. The PTSO is providing each student with a Fun Run T-shirt, Boosterthon rewards great prizes, and your teachers provide incentives such as extra recess, dance parties, and something about turning the principal into a human sundae.
Help out the PTSO through getting pledges from friends and family for your student's FUN RUN!!!!

PTSO MEETING
The PTSO meeting originally scheduled for Monday, November 2nd will NOT take place. Here are just a few items from the PTSO:
1. Volunteers are needed to give out water for our FUNRUN. Please sign up at the link below.
2. The organizers for Deck the Halls are asking for donations of EOS Lip Balm in the following colors: Pomegranate Raspberry and Summer Fruit. There is a collection box in the front office.
Thank you for your support of the JBE PTSO!
WOW LAUNCH
Walking and Wheeling Wednesdays are back!
Beginning November 4th, some of our volunteer parents will begin walking or biking to school every Wednesday. The families meet at Lamb of God Lutheran Church at 7am and begin walking or wheeling to school. You can join them there or meet along the way. This is a great way to get ready for Boosterthon also!
Veteran's Day
JBE has a continued tradition of honoring our Veteran's and we will again this year host a Veteran's Day assembly on Wednesday, November 11th at 8:30am in which our students honor veterans as well as learn about the importance of that day. We wish to recognize any family member or friend who is a United States Veteran.
