Our work continues!

Here’s what you can do to help save Raleigh Park Elementary school today.

What's presented by the Facilities Planning Committee recommendation in their May 1st meeting portrays schools as a one-dimensional statistic.

Our goal is to fill the room with support for Raleigh Park and our community schools and ask lots of really good questions.

This week your student will be bringing home a JAT fundraising envelope, and there’s lots of details we wanted to break it all down here!

On May 13th we’re going to have a school wide Bike Rodeo hosted by Washco Bikes/Reborn Bikes/FB4K.

It’s a fun way for kids to learn/practice bike handling skills and basic safety info. Kids will run through some drills and obstacle courses in the RPES parking lot. It will include learning about the ABC Quickcheck, helmet fitting, and we will have enough loaner bikes for everyone to participate.

In addition to all the volunteer organizers putting on the Bike rode we’re looking for volunteers to help with setup and support during 75 minute shifts with the students.

When : Sunday, April 21, 1:00-4:00pm

What : Seed starting, native plant and pollinator info, work party in the RP sequoia grove

Where : The grove of trees near the swing set at Raleigh Park.

We will be working with the Treekeepers of Washington County to put in a bark chip pathway through the sequoia grove at RP.

Thank you to everyone who has signed up through Better Impact already. Volunteer roles are quickly filling up, so please look ASAP! Each volunteer gets a JAT t-shirt. Sizes are first come, first served.

Business sponsor dollars provide important funding for our programs including field trips, the school play, food security, and much more. Can your business or employer sponsor us?
