Attention Parents of Kindergarten-2nd graders: did you know the PTA holds multiple luncheons to recognize and celebrate our amazing staff at JB Watkins? Our first luncheon of the year will be catered by Jimmy John’s and we need your help to make it a HUGE success! This luncheon is sponsored by the students and families in grades K-2. We ask that you please consider contributing $2-$5 for students you have in these grades. We will collect money 10/15 through 11/9. Please put the money in a baggie or envelope labeled “Staff Luncheon” and send it in through your child’s teacher. Thank you for your contribution and generosity!
If you have any questions regarding the luncheon, please feel free to contact the Staff Appreciation chairs directly: Jaya Baker, jmathurbaker@gmail.com and/or Heather Fritz, hmurphy81@hotmail.com.
It’s time for our second Box Tops collection. If you love ice cream, make sure you bring in all your box tops because the class who collects the most box tops will win an ice cream party at the end of the year! Collect your box tops and bring them to school on Friday, October 19th. Good luck!
J.B. Watkins lunchroom recycling will resume on October 22nd!
Now that we’re all settled back into the school year, lunchroom recycling will resume on Monday, October 22nd for grades 1st through 5th. Kindergartners will start the following week after participating in a classroom recycling demonstration.
To make sure the program continues to be a success, we are asking for volunteers in the lunchrooms to work with the kids as they continue to learn how to separate trash from recycle. Please pick at least one slot that works for you and share this post with friends and neighbors – the school needs you!
