FUNDRAISER FOR JERSEY SHORE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ’ S STUDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL
We are very excited to share with the local community that Jersey Shore Elementary School held their very first Amaryllis flower sale led by the Student Council Advisory Council . Orders were ready just in time for Christmas !
The school partnered with a local master gardener , Mrs . Beth Amundson , Soergel Orchards , and their Parent Teacher Association for the project . Student representatives planted the bulbs in November and cared for the bulbs using the school ’ s new grow carts that were purchased through an EITC grant .
This year , Soergel Orchards offered three varieties for their customers to choose from : Candy Cane Amaryllis , Red Amaryllis , and Paper White Narcissus . Soergel ’ s offered a discounted price for the kits and paid for the safe delivery to the school .
The students created a commercial for this entrepreneur project , with the support of Computer & Information Technology teacher , Mrs . Denise Route . A week prior to customers picking up their flowers , Mrs . Amundson supported them with arranging the flowers and decorating the nursery pots with colored foil and satin ribbons . They brightened the halls and caught the attention of students passing by on their way to class !
Jersey Shore Elementary ‘ s Student Advisory Council consists of elected 4th and 6th grade student representatives . Each class elects two student representatives . The Student Advisory Council was started three years ago and is currently led by 3 teacher representatives : Ms . Samantha Moon , Ms . Allison Tripoli , and Mrs . Teri Dolan-Ward .
The students meet month ly and plan interesting events that are enjoyed by the students and school community . The council also runs a compassion project each year to support Dwell Orphan Care in Williamsport . Dwell provides support for foster , adoptive , and kinship families in Central Pennsylvania .
