J.E. Ober Elementary School

08/25/2026

🥳 We’re excited to kick off our “SchoolStore” Fundraiser (it went home with the students today, yay!!!) and give our JE Ober families an easy way to support our school AND earn a super cute Book Buddy! 🐹

The best part? There’s no selling, no collecting money, and no products to deliver! Everything is done online, making it simple for our families and friends to participate.

TELL ME MORE:

1. Sign up through SchoolStore using the information provided by JE Ober. (Look for the lanyard that came home today…hint hint)

2. Send the provided email invitations to family, friends, and coworkers.

3. Return your student’s completed Book Buddy Lanyard/Prize Code to JE Ober by Friday, September 11.

4. Your student earns their very own Book Buddy just for participating.

And that’s not all! Students can earn additional prizes as our school reaches fundraising goals. 🥳 Whoo hoo!!!
Every bit of participation helps JE Ober provide the resources and supplies our teachers and students need to thrive. We’re so excited to see our students get involved and have FUN while supporting our school!

Before we get back to school, please familiarize yourself with school bus safety rules and standards on the roads. Help us keep our kids safe this school year!

Please note a change to J.E. Ober walker procedures.

All J.E. Ober walkers will now exit through Door 3 at the end of the school day and will be walked by staff to a corresponding crosswalk for safety purposes.

These changes have been made on the Drop off and Pick up Procedure hub on our district and school websites.
