Don't forget! PTO Nominations are due by Monday, May 4!

What does the JP PTO do all year? We're so glad you asked! 

In case we haven't met, here are this school year's Co-Presidents, Treasurer, and Secretary. And our Rockstar PTO Board! 





With your generous donations, and with the teamwork of our incredible PTO Board of more than 10 committees, here's what we've done this year to support our students, staff, and community! 

We are also proud to partner with JP's Koko Fund, co-chaired by Lisa Robinson and Phil Arnold. Thank you, Phil and Lisa, for all your energy and effort on behalf of our community.
