The Student Council is collecting new socks as part of a service project benefitting LifeBridge Homeless Shelter. Please send in your sock donations throughout the month. There will be a bin in front of the office and we will be collecting until 10/30. Our goal is to collect 500 pairs of socks!
Our Annual Veteran’s Day assembly and breakfast is Thursday, November 5th! If you have a veteran attending, please make sure to send in your form as soon as possible. Students, start bringing in your “Change for Veterans” for our jar! All proceeds will go towards making positive “changes” for our local veterans. Students can also purchase a star to decorate and hang in our hallway. This can include a picture of a family or friend that is a veteran or a patriotic theme. Suggested donation is $1 per star and all proceeds will benefit local veterans at the Edith Norse Rogers Veteran's Memorial Hospital in Bedford.
We’re about to kick off our semi-annual Calareso’s Fundraiser, where 25% of proceeds go directly to the JE PTO! Calareso’s Cash never expires, you get the best apple cider donuts in the world, and the PTO gets a kickback to invest back into the school. Sounds like a win-win! Be on the lookout for flyers and info soon!

METCO unites suburban towns with Boston to engage in a reciprocal learning partnership in support of all students. Because of this, every child who attends school in Reading Public Schools is a METCO student and every parent or guardian who has a student in RPS is a part of the METCO community.
"Since its founding during the peak of the Civil Rights Movement, the METCO program has enrolled tens of thousands of Boston students of color in predominately white school districts, creating the opportunity for those districts to experience the advantages of learning and working in a racially and ethnically diverse setting."
Please leave your child's name, teacher, reason for absence or tardy and expected date/time of return.
