There are so many things that PTO supports within the school!
Myers Motivators
Myers Motivators is the name we give to our adults that volunteer their time in the school reading to students, helping teachers, monitoring the cafeteria and assisting at recess and dismissal. We love our Motivators! Contact the JCMES if you want to get involved.
Teacher Mini-Grants
This year we gave the opportunity for our teachers to reach out an ask for additional funds for their classrooms to use for special projects. Some of the submissions have included "Thank you" gifts, self-reflection art, additional prizes for Walk To School Day, and books to for students to read to other classrooms.
Playground Upkeep & Beautification
Each year we gather funds and volunteers to help us spread mulch to keep our playgrounds safe for students and the flowerbeds looking beautiful. This year we purchased a brand new playground for the littles (PreK-1) to be erected in the Spring! Look out for more information on how you can help out!
Staff Appreciation
Staff Appreciation week is the first week in May. As a PTO we provide a catered meal as well as small gifts to the staff to show how much we care about them.
Auction
In late spring, we hold an annual auction for the community that includes class plates, teacher activity packages, as well as donations from local businesses. The online auction will take place over a weeks time. More information will arrive as the date gets closer.
If you are a business and wish to donate a gift item, email jcmesauction@gmail.com
5th grade celebration
In June, we help support the school in their celebration of the 5th grade students. Past years have included a reception and glow dance party.
Family Nights
PTO has supported various family nights in the past such as Paint Nights, BINGO, Literacy Nights, storytellers, magicians, STEM Nights, and Fitness Nights.
Student & staff ice cream
We give free ice cream to students and staff for an End-of-year celebration!
Talent Show
PTO has hosted our school talent show, both in-person and virtual. We love watching the students perform!
