We’ve had a great year with chess club! Here’s an update on what’s left this year:
The final 3 Chess Club dates are:
Friday 5/11
Friday 5/25
Friday 6/8
The brackets are closed and the 5/11 session will kick off the Chess Club tournament. Trophies will be awarded in two categories: K-2 and 3-5. Free play will still continue for those not participating in the tournament.
We really couldn’t make our Chess Club mornings a success without our volunteers. Grandparents or family members welcome!

J.B. Watkins lunchroom recycling officially begins April 18th!
To get the program off the ground, we are asking for volunteers in the lunchroom(s) to guide the kids as they learn their new role as “Recycling Rangers”.
Don’t know what to do? The Green Team will be there every step of the way! It will be an easy and fun way to get our kids involved & excited about recycling.
Please pick at least one slot that works for you and share this post with friends and neighbors – the school needs you! (All volunteers *must* have a volunteer form on file – message us if you need help).
With such a large elementary school, many students come through our library each week. We’d love your help keeping things running smoothly! Necessary tasks include checking students in and out and reshelving the many books that classes bring back to the library each day.
