Here At JRB
Dress-Up Day Parade
Our annual Dress Up Day Parade is scheduled for Thursday, October 31st at 9:00 AM. Just like in previous years, students will start to walk from the PreK playground area, then they will use the back road behind the school to walk past the gym. Finally, they will go down the back road, and take a left back to the main school entrance. You can view the actual route below.
We encourage parents who want to view the Dress Up Day Parade to stand on the sides of the back road, leaving the pavement part of the road for the students to walk.
Please note that we do not allow face paint, full masks, or weapons during the school dress-up day. Most students end up changing out of their costumes at some point if they are too hot or restrictive, so sending an extra bag to hold the costume will be useful.
On a final note, please do not park in the bus lane against the school. Our Prek parents will be dropping off students at 8:45 in that lane. It is also our fire lane, so it must stay open and unblocked. In addition, our 5th grade will be getting on a bus to head on their trip, so those buses will need the bus lane too!. Parking along Williams Rd or along the main entrance is suggested.
If the weather is poor we will update folks about the parade. We will make this call by 7:30 AM.
We are still looking for Outdoor Classroom calendar donations, thank you.
Nature Classroom Calendar Prizes
Our 5th grade will be heading to Outdoor Classroom in late May, and we will conduct our Outdoor Calendar Raffle in December. This fundraiser offsets the cost of this amazing trip for our kids. If you have a business that could offer a prize, we would be very thankful for your donation. If you are able to contribute a prize on your own, that is also very welcome. Below is a sample from last year so you can see how your business can be publicized. There is also a drawing video from last year that we put on our social media each day. Please contact Mr. North (nnorth@awrsd.org) if you have an interest in donating.
