The Capital Campaign is a fundraising effort where students raise money to support JBE during the weeks of Oct. 31st—Nov. 17th. The fundraising effort concludes with a Color Run that will take place on the field behind JBE on Friday, Nov. 17th. Each child will have the option to run laps while being sprayed with colors to celebrate JBE and their fundraising efforts during the Capital Campaign! And the kids win prizes during the campaign, too!

Hello and Welcome to JBE!

We are thrilled to welcome you to the JBE Family! My name is Katie Edwards and I'm the President of JBE One (aka PTO and Endowment combined into ONE awesome group). I am an alumni of JBE and have two daughters at the school now :)


First: there is a full Parent Handbook called the ABCs of JBE that tells you EVERYTHING you ever wanted to know about the school!


What JBE One does: The goal of JBE One is to raise $200k annually to pay for our Greenhouse teacher, Technology teacher, support Field Trips, our Boat Building Program, extra staff spoiling appreciation and so much more. You can check out our full budget on our jbeone.org website under Parent Info, JBE One, then Financials.


How JBE One does it: We have a rockstar Executive Board made up of 13 parents and they, along with their teams, make all the magic happen - from the Fall Color Run Capital Campaign, Staff Appreciation Week, Back to School Nights, extra teacher support and so on! We're always looking for new faces! There are WIDE varieties of ways to get involved. Learn more on the site under Parent Info, Volunteer and sign up to get on the lists!


Neighborhood “Nests”: At JBE, we have created neighborhood groups that each have a Captain. Their job is to loop you in and make sure you, and all your neighbors, know all about what’s happening at JBE! The majority of information will come out from our Principal and our Newsletters, but your Hood Captain is a WONDERFUL resource! Enclosed is a list of captains - please reach out directly to your Captain to get looped in! Or if you have any issues, please email me directly at president@jbeone.org.


Uniforms: Are sold periodically throughout the year on the jbeone.org site. If you need uniforms and the window is closed, please reach out to us directly and we’ll help! Uniforms@jbeone.org And make sure to get an orange Field Trip shirt if you’re new!


We look forward to meeting you and your kiddos! We are here to help!
