Thank you for coming to the 10th Anniversary JES Farm to School Fun Run. We had an amazing turnout, great weather and had fun running together! Thanks to the JES and Jericho community and volunteers for helping make a great event.
Congrats to all that ran the 1 mile, 5km and did the Wellness Path Walk.
In the 1 mile the first finisher overall and first JES boy was Oliver Garbarino. The first girl overall and JES girl was Ella Cheney. We don’t record times or results for the 1 mile.
Congrats to the overall 5k winner Graham Bouchard (JES Kindergarden)! In the 5km the first male finisher was Henry Leitz and first female finisher was Leah McCarthy.
5km Results (Let us know if you notice anything missing or a time seems off, we can fix it.)

Students will collaborate to design and build five unique sound sculptures made entirely from recycled materials. Each session will also include a HOP (Help Our Planet) segment, where students will explore environmental topics.

What is Farm to School?
What is Farm to School?
The JES Farm to School program has traditionally helped to bring local foods into the cafeteria and to introduce students to healthy new foods. The program also enriches student learning by using on campus resources to enhance learning. This includes things like the bees, the garden, and the wood fired oven. Students get hands-on experience growing and cooking with food right from the garden! The school bees are also awesome for enhancing natural science lessons.
