American Education Week
American Education Week is an opportunity to visit your child’s classroom and watch your children in action as they learn something new, participate in a curricular activity, or give a special presentation for visitors. This year, Central Bucks School District invites you to join us the week of November 14-18, 2022.
We invite you to come and join us, remembering that cell phone use while in the school is not permitted, and that this is an “adults only” visit as small children may disrupt instruction during this time.
The chart below provides the designated time to come and visit so that we may concentrate efforts, and accommodate parking, traffic flow, etc. Please RSVP to the Sign-Up Genius from your child's teacher so that we may plan accordingly for your arrival.

Pumpkin Thank You!
A Message from Grubs Ecology…
T’was a week before Halloween and all through the school
The pumpkins were painted And man were they cool!
The families had decorated their pumpkins with care
In hopes that the students would all stop and stare
From pumpkins of Gritty to scary to funny
To enter they gave two dollars of money
Good family fun is what we all had.
To help Grubs Ecology and make the earth glad
To landscape our gazebo at the start of the spring
Thank you to all for the pumpkins you bring.
Grubs thanks all those who participated in our annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest. You made this the most successful Pumpkin Decorating Contest yet! Grubs Ecology plans on building and installing a variety of benches in our outdoor gardens with the money we raised.
We hope you had fun “carving” out some family time to work on your pumpkins. A HUGE THANK YOU ALSO GOES OUT TO ALL WHO BOUGHT TICKETS TO VOTE FOR YOU FAVORITE PUMPKINS…Jamison Elementary Rocks!

Helping Hands Holiday Drive
Dear Jamison Community,
Every year during the holidays our community has generously supported Jamison families in need. We are asking families and staff to donate gift cards from Walmart, Target, Amazon, and food stores. Our hope is to provide families in need with gift cards, so they can purchase gifts and food to make their holiday season special.
Please help us bring a smile to members of our Jamison Community during the holidays by donating this year. This is a wonderful way for our students to show encouragement and kindness to others in need. From October 20 to November 18 we will have a box set up in the school office for you to drop your gift cards into. You may also send them in with your child in an envelope and they can drop it off in the office.
Thank you in advance for your continued generosity. This is a very successful program and has been an amazing help to our families.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Levy
