SJLES PTA presents Walk and Roll to School Day

Wednesday, May 1, 2024
Help celebrate physical fitness & care for the environment!
Every student who participates earns a charm!

Be sure to enter the school through the SJLES “Art Door” at the rear of the building! PTA volunteers will be on-site to distribute charms to students who participate.
You can walk to school, from school or both to earn a charm! If you are only able to walk home from school, after your walk contact Liz Petrella at petrella.liz@gmail.com or Sayli Moskowitz at sayliw@gmail.com with your child’s name and homeroom teacher, and we will make sure students receive their charms.
School begins at 9:25 a.m. and ends at 3:55 p.m. The building opens for students at 9:10 a.m. All children must be accompanied by an adult until the school day begins.
Contact a friend who lives within walking distance of the school to see if your parent can park at his/her house and you can walk from there. Better yet, walk with your friend!
If you choose to park on a side street and walk, please be sure that your vehicle is on the road and not on someone’s property. Please do not park on residential lawns.
Bikers and scooters count too! A bike rack is located just off the blacktop at the rear of the school.
PLEASE NOTE: WE WILL NOT HAVE A CROSSING GUARD FOR THIS EVENT, so if you live across the street from the school or wish to park in that neighborhood and walk over, please use the crosswalks.

Remember to snap photos of
your Jaguars for the yearbook!
