On behalf of the Jeffrey Parent Teacher Organization, we would like to warmly welcome all of our new and returning families! With our wonderful Principal and exceptional teachers leading the way, our students have an amazing school year ahead of them as they meet new friends, have new experiences and learn new things. We as the PTO are looking forward to supporting our students and teachers this year by planning a robust calendar of activities and events, providing financial support for supplies (such as recess equipment) and helping to foster our school's strong sense of community and Tiger Pride! The JES PTO hopes that each of you have an amazing school year. Thank you for your continued support and involvement with the JES PTO!
All the best,

A NOTE FROM THE PTO BOARD
We are so excited to bring back the Combined Brown, Jeffrey, and Ryerson Beach clean up which will be on Saturday October 5th, 2024 from 8:00 am-10 am at the surf club!
Last year was a success!!
Here are a few photos from last year's clean up… from what seems like such a beautiful clean beach we still found a good amount of trash (outside of the busy season) in a about 30 minutes time 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!

What a wonderful Earth Week!!! Thank you to Curious Creatures, Blue Earth Compost, Hammonasett Beach Clean up and MadforTrees! Thank you also for everyone who came to plant the tree outside Jeffrey!
The students are doing a wonderful job learning how to sort their lunch trash into the compost bin or the garbage can!
Please discuss with your child how you would like them to handle their lunchbox leftovers (zip up their lunch and bring home or put trash into compost).
Blue Earth Compost will give JES PTO $15 for any new subscription for at-home composting services - when you mention “Jeffrey School” in the comments when you place your order online. Also: use code BEC20 for 20% off at-home composting services.
We are so excited to pilot the composting program for Jeffrey School!
