A NOTE FROM THE PTO BOARD
​
​
Here are a few photos from the beach clean up… from what seems like such a beautiful clean beach we still found 1873 pieces of trash (outside of the busy season) in a about 2 hours of trash collection. If you’re ever at the surf club please visit the trash station next to the playground where you can pick up a bucket and pick up trash for just a few minutes you can make a difference! Please remember to dispose of the trash in the dumpsters nearby and return the buckets. Thank you!!

Happy Veterans Day to all the men and women who served our country!!

At Jeffrey we honored our veterans this year with yard signs in front of the school!
