Welcome Salladasburg Elementary School- Jersey Shore Elementary Hosted Two Transition Days This Spring
Over 30 volunteers supported the two transition days Jersey Shore Elementary planned to welcome Salladasburg Elementary School students. Representatives from the two PTO organizations, Key Club Students from the High School, and the Jersey Shore Garden Club, led students through a variety of stations that promoted the spirit of our Bulldog Nation and that were designed to give students a sense of belonging. On May 12th, kindergarten and first grade students were enthusiastically greeted by their " Host Families." Each kindergarten and first grade teacher at JSE welcomed the students who joined their classes for the day. The teachers had been corresponding back and forth, some even sending video messages leading up to the event. Similarly, on May 15th, students in grades 2-4 traveled to JSE to meet their pen pals and engage in the hands-on stations located throughout the school.
Mr. Shearer, one of the health and physical education teachers, planned parachute games that involved the entire class. Mrs. Mandi Engel and Mrs. Brittany Wilbur, two of JSE ' s PTO officers, partnered with volunteers to assist students in creating spin art deigns and paint kindness rocks, and our Jersey Shore Garden Club volunteers took on the challenge of planting over 300 flowers in the gardens behind the school. Another token of remembrance the students can look forward to this fall will be the posters they colored to celebrate what it means to be part of a Bulldog Nation: Compassionate, Courageous, Loyal, Principled, and Tenacious.
We want to thank our many volunteers for helping to make the transition days a success! Joyful faces, a colorful garden, a bed of kindness rocks, and new friendships add to the collection of memories that commemorated the event.
