JBM Motto
Family First: Protect the Flock
Thank you for your support and patience as we begin the 2022-2023 school year. We appreciate your patience as we worked through adjusting arrival and dismissal to make it more efficient. Your children have been wonderful to be around and work with each day at JBM. Please read through the information below to stay informed about the happenings at JBM.
Many students purchase breakfast in the morning, but we notice that some are not eating their meal. Please remind your child that breakfast costs $0.80 per day. Contact the JBM Cafeteria Manager, Patricia Messick, with any questions about your child's lunch account. You can also create an account to add funds to your child's lunch account at https://www.myschoolbucks.com/.
Please participate in our WiddyUp fundraiser! Learn more at widdyup.com. We have a goal to raise $20,000 to help support our Music and Technology Education programs along with field trips for our students.
Review the calendar of events below and mark your calendars. Be sure to join our JBM PTO Facebook page to stay up to date - JBM PTO Facebook Group - (search: John Bassett Moore Intermediate PTO).
