Larry Richards Club and the Jonesburg Optimist have adopted 18 families for Thanksgiving Baskets this year. If donations allow, we will have our “shop” set up to give people the opportunity to gather food to put in their pantry. Your donations help us make these baskets possible. THANK YOU for your support of Larry Richards Clubs efforts to serve our community. Below is a sample "shopping list" that the students use to pack the baskets. No students help in the actual pick up of baskets, just in the preparation stage.

Donations are encouraged November 10–13!

🦃 Thanksgiving meal ideas:

Boxed stuffing and instant mashed potatoes

Canned green beans, corn, sweet potatoes, and cranberry sauce

Canned gravy or gravy packets

Boxed macaroni and cheese

Canned pumpkin and evaporated milk

🥫 Everyday pantry ideas:

Pull-tab cans of soup, chili, beans, and pasta meals

Tuna or chicken pouches

Shelf-stable microwave meals, rice cups, and oatmeal cups

Peanut butter and crackers

Cereal, oatmeal, and granola bars

Fruit cups, applesauce pouches, and canned fruit

Shelf-stable milk

Easy-to-open foods and items that require little preparation are especially helpful! Please choose unopened items within their best-by dates.

The 2026 JBE Veterans Day Assembly is coming up on Thursday, November 12th. If your student has a veteran they would like to recognize and invite, please fill out the RSVP and return it to school. This year we will also have light refreshment for veterans and their students before the assembly at 2:00 pm. Students will need to have parent permission to participate with their veteran. If your veteran will be taking your student home, the office must know in advance.

Our JBE Student Council is hosting Change the World Day on Wednesday, November 18th. They will host one each month for a different cause with a different spirit day. Every change the world day is a hat day. Students are encouraged to bring in "change" donation or dollars to give to the cause.

This month donations are going to The Jonesburg Lighted Parade and the spirit day is Christmas Socks or Hat Day.

Please make sure that you call in (833-662-6228 press 5 then press 1) prior to 8:30 if your child is going to be absent so that we can record the reason before we begin making contact. If communication is not received in regard to student absences a few things may happen.

• You will receive an automated message letting you know your student is absent.
• You may receive a personal call from our office staff.
• You may receive a visit from our SRO, or Kylee Waite, our MCR2 Social Worker.
• You will receive our 3-day, 5-day and 8-day attendance letters regardless of calling in. These letters are board policy and are sent to all student families when they hit the 3, 5, & 8 day threshold.
• As a building we are striving to be higher than a 95% average EACH MONTH. Help us meet our goal!

You are invited to join us for the JBE 4th Grade Great United States Parade on Wednesday, December 2nd from 2:30-3:15 in the JBE Cafeteria.

Our fourth-grade students have been working hard to create a "float" out of a shoe box that they will have on display. It's actually the opposite of a parade because the floats are still and you move, but the students are researching their state and creating a display to teach you about what they have learned. You are welcome to come see their hard work on display.

Our PTO helps with events at school such as GRAND's Day, Me & My Gal and Me & My Guy, they support needs of the classroom and this year we are going to be fund raising for shade, concrete and tables on the intermediate playground.

If you are interested in helping or getting involved in our PTO, please reach out to Ms. Krattli and she will connect you with our PTO officers. THANK YOU!

• Thank you for supporting the Soap Sale Fundraiser. We hope to have delivery scheduled for Tuesday, October 27th. More details to come.

• Me & My Gal night is Thursday, November 5th- from 6:00 to 7:30. This is for JBE boys and their special "gal". The "gal" needs to be a trusted adult over 18. If you are interested in helping, please reach out to Ms. Krattli.

• Santa Shop is set to run from December 8-11th in the library 8am-3:30 (except Christmas program day)
• PTO meeting January 14th @5:30

• Me & Guy Night is Friday, January 22nd from 6:00 -7:30.

• PTO Spring Carnival is Sunday February 21st from 11-2pm

• Family Fun Night on March 2nd 6:00 pm PTO meeting after @ 7:15

Do you want to get involved? E-mail Mrs. Temperly at stemperly@mc-wildcats.org and she will get your information to our other officers - Stacy Calbreath, Megan Hans, and Brittany Beggs-Bohnert.

The bins are located on the southwest corner of our building.
