Spring is here! We’re loving that extra sunshine and the activities that come with Spring. Check out the school info below, including the link to our PTO meeting tonight.
PTO Meeting Tonight – Join us tonight at 6:30 PM in the school library (enter through the main front door) or join virtually. Come early from 6:15–6:30 PM for snacks and social time. Kids are welcome to hang out in the library during the meeting (parents just need to keep an eye on them).
PTO Spring Auction Launches Next Week! - Our biggest fundraiser of the year is almost here! Auction proceeds support sports equipment, outdoor learning spaces, playground improvements, enrichment programs, and teacher grants.
Ways you can help:
-Donate an item by March 16 - Gift certificates, services, small business products, handmade crafts, baked goods, or themed gift baskets are always popular auction items. Even one small item makes a difference! If you run a small business, side hustle, or creative hobby, we’d love to include your work in the auction. Drop donations at the school front office by March 16 and include a business card or note with the donor’s name so we can recognize them in the auction.
-Know a local business that might donate? Grab a printed donation letter (with 501(c)(3) info) at the front desk and invite a favorite local business to participate.
-Help with a Richmond pickup - We have a donation waiting at Topgolf Richmond. If you’re heading that way, we’d love help bringing it back to JCM. Ideally by March 16, but a few days later is fine.
Questions or able to help with any of the above? Contact Mallory Coffman at 540-246-6242 (call or text) or jcmesauction@gmail.com. Thank you to the many families already helping with the auction!
