Fun Fall Updates



Fall is a beautiful season filled with vibrant colors and fun fall activities. Here at the JELV, our students, parents and teachers have been able to enjoy field trips to pumpkin patches! Thank you parents for volunteering time to learn, experience and have fun with your child(ren). If your child's class has not gone on their field trip and you would like to join, please stop by the FRC to fill out a volunteer form and have a copy of your drivers license copied. This is required in order to go with your child's class. We thank you for your cooperation.

Christmas Assistance: The village is pleased to offer the JELV Holiday Assistance Program again this year. This program was created to be an addition to a child's Christmas, based on financial need. After fall break you will receive a letter about this program in your child's folder. If you need Christmas assistance, the letter will give detailed information about how you can sign up.
Sponsors are needed! We are looking for sponsors for this program. Do you belong to a civic club, a Sunday School class, or a Girl Scout troops that would be interested in sponsoring a family? Sponsors can be clubs, church small groups, a group of caring friends, or your family. If you would like more information about sponsorship please call Debbie Cumbie or Lindsey Marler at 887-0567.

New Support Group for Single Moms: A time to share your story, receive encouragement, find out about resources and more! The first gathering will be Friday, October 28th from 1pm-2pm at the JELV. Please contact Debbie Cumbie at 887-0567 for more information.

Heating Assistance Program: After fall break we will be sending home information about the Low income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

Thank you for allowing us to serve our community. Please feel welcome to contact the FRC at anytime.
