Farm to School Conference

The JES Farm to School Team has been attending the Farm to School Conference at Shelburne Farms.
We are learning so much about the three Cs of Farm to School. Thanks to our team members for giving their time to learn how to improve the well being of our school community. Mary-Lou Lapierre, Amy Beckwith, Jamie Lofy, and Lars Botzojorns.

Math Transformation

JES educators ended the school year by looking back at our mathematics work with children this year.
We reflected on our successes and what our next steps will be to ensure all our students are mathematical thinkers.

Summer Is Here

Today is the last day of school at JES.  We had a wonderful year filled with learning and laughter.
We wish all our JES families a great summer and we will see you in August.

Welcome Back

Spring has finally arrived at JES. On Monday, everyone will be returning from vacation. Then the year will begin to move very quickly. We are excited, thanks to PIE, to be hosting Michael Wingfield as our Artist in Residence for the next two weeks. The residence will end with a performance by our students on May 16th @ 6:30 in the MMU gym.

Visit To Mission Hill School

I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Mission Hill School in Boston. This is a pilot school in Boston that is governed using Democratic principles. All decisions are made with the student at the center of the decision. Check out  The year at Mission Hill 

Sugaring @ JES

Mr. Barker's third grade students showed our first grade students how to tap a tree.
We will be boiling tomorrow.

Budget Passed

During the annual Jericho school meeting yesterday, the Jericho voters approved our budget for the 2013-2014 school year. Thanks for all your support for Jericho students.
