JB Watkins PTA

Wondering how to get a holiday gift to your teacher or Watkins staff member? Let us help! For quick and easy delivery, gift cards can be emailed directly to teachers and staff. Parents may also drop off gifts at the school no later than 12pm on Wednesday, December 16. If dropping off, please place your gift on the table outside the Watkins’ front doors and ring the bell to alert staff. Your gift will be delivered directly to the teacher or staff member. 

Due to COVID, we ask families to please refrain from gifting and delivering homemade baked goods this year. We truly appreciate your understanding. We hope you have a happy, healthy and joyous holiday season!

If you’re wondering what to get your teacher, we have a list of each teacher’s favorite items. Check it out below!

JBW Staff Favorites List

Hello Watkins Families! The PTA invites you to to join us for a spirit night at Chicken Fiesta on Wednesday, November 18th from 5pm – 8pm. Chicken Fiesta will donate 20% of sales back to the Watkins PTA. When you order remember to mention that you are ordering for Watkins. Thank you for helping to support the PTA!

PTA Thank You Note Program

As we enter the season of giving thanks, the PTA is kicking off a thank you note program to show our wonderful Watkins teachers, administrators and school staff how grateful we are for all they continue to do for students and families. During the month of November, we invite you and/or students to write a thank you note, draw a picture or send a card to anyone at our wonderful school. Each note will be posted on a bulletin board in the school lobby for all staff to see. Send as many as you’d like – who doesn’t love to feel appreciated! Notes can be sent to school with your child (marked “PTA THANK YOU NOTE”), left in the PTA Thank You Box outside the front doors of the school or you can email them to president@jbwpta.com. Help us fill the board with lots of thank you’s for our amazing school staff!

Thank you so much to everyone who sent in pictures for our virtual Pumpkin Lighting! Images are below, organized by grade level. For security reasons, and to prevent posting students’ last names, they are ordered by first name.

We are asking that parents / guardians order through the Herff Jones website to streamline payment and processes. It will save time and make sure that you have your order captured and ready to go! Please help us spread the word by encouraging friends to sign up for the Herff Jones website and submit your pictures for inclusion in the yearbook there!

We want your photos for our yearbook! Here’s some info to get you started. You can get also get all the info you need on our yearbook page.

Just because things look different this year, that doesn’t mean we have to give up all the fun completely! Your PTA is working hard to set up a virtual pumpkin lighting. Please submit a photo of your child with his or her carved or decorated pumpkin for our gallery. For even more fun, have your student wear a costume in the picture!

If you have more than one student at Watkins, you’ll need to fill out the form once for each child. We can only accept one image per student, so make sure you get the perfect shot! Pictures are due on October 23 to give us time to pull them together. We can’t wait to see all of you and your pumpkins!
