Through fundraising and volunteerism, we create memorable school traditions, support teachers and staff, provide special experiences for students, and invest in projects that benefit the entire JES community.
Every volunteer hour and every dollar raised helps make it possible.
Annual traditions, family events, and opportunities for our school community to connect.
Student enrichment, playground improvements, teacher and staff requests, and special projects.
Volunteers for school events, Field Day, summer garden care, and wherever an extra set of hands can help
PACK's impact looks a little different every year, but there are some traditions and investments that remain at the heart of what we do.
Each spring, our Farm to School Fun Run brings the JES and Jericho communities together for a 1-mile run, 5K, and Wellness Path Walk. This family-favorite event supports Farm to School at JES, which brings local food into the cafeteria and gives students hands-on learning opportunities through the school gardens, bees, wood-fired oven, and more.
Each spring, JES families come together to celebrate and thank the incredible teachers and staff who support our kids every day.
PACK makes an annual minimum $2k financial contribution toward the JES playground, investing in a space our kids use every day.
Every other year, PACK helps fund an Artist in Residence program, giving JES students the opportunity to learn and create alongside a professional artist.
PACK also responds to needs and opportunities throughout the year. That might mean rallying volunteers for Field Day, funding equipment requested by a teacher, providing food for a school event, or supporting a new idea that benefits JES students.
PACK's work changes as the needs of our school change. When there's an opportunity to make JES even better for our community, we want to help make it happen!
None of this happens without our families and community. Every volunteer hour and every dollar donated gives PACK more opportunities to say yes when our school needs support.
It takes approximately $40 per student to fully fund PACK's annual budget.
We know every family contributes to our school community in different ways. If giving financially works for your family, donations of any amount help us continue investing directly in JES.
