Salad Days

Our new salad bar arrived today. Thanks to PIE for the funding to purchase this great "kid-sized" salad bar.  Also, check out our school garden. We will be able to harvest our own vegetables when school begins in late August.

Safe Route to School

We are making great progress on our sidewalk project at JES. This work is able to happen because JES was awarded a VTrans Safe Route to School Infrastructure grade in July of 2010.  Jericho Elementary School is a silver partner in the Vermont Safe Route to Schools program. This allowed us to apply for the grant. Construction was supposed to occur in the summer of 2012 but had to be postponed due to workload at VTrans as a result of Hurricane Irene. Stop by the school to see our plan to make it safer for walkers and bikers at JES. We expect the project to be completed by August 20th.

Safe Routes

Construction begins on our Safe Routes to School project today. When the project is completed on August 20th, we will have improved access for walkers and bikers to JES.

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.
