🪴ALL THINGS GROW WITH LOVE🪴 Jensen Beach Elementary School recently hosted a special Earth Day celebration where two remarkable women were honored for their dedication to JBE students. 🌷Jane Mills, a dedicated JBE volunteer, enriched the lives of so many past and present students through her involvement with the Rotary Club and the Rotokids program to JBE, which continues to gift all third-grade students with dictionaries. She also volunteered through the Garden Club and shared her love of nature with the children. Beautiful planters will be placed in the front of JBE to serve as a reminder of her many gifts to our school. 🌷Donna Boudreau, a former employee and dedicated volunteer, is one who many remember during the holiday season as "Mrs. Claus," always bringing a smile to children and adults alike. A memorial bench will be installed as a reminder of her many gifts to JBE. Although these women are no longer with us, their gifts to the JBE family will live on for generations. In the same kind of gesture, each student received a packet of seeds to plant on our Earth. #ALLINMartin👊
