How students celebrate the planet beyond Earth Day at JE:
Earth Day may fall on just one day a year, but lessons about conservation and our planet extend beyond April. At Elbridge Elementary, ELL students spend a whole unit on a project titled “Save Our Earth.”
Students began by reading articles and books and watching video clips about the importance of recycling. Then, they summarized what they watched and illustrated those summaries.

Voters to consider $36.2 million budget on May 16th:
On Tuesday, May 16th, Jordan-Elbridge Central School District residents will vote on a proposed $36,195,000 budget for the 2023-24 school year. This budget represents a spending increase of 3.48 percent, or $1,216,500 and carries a 2.75 percent tax levy increase.
This is only the third time in eight years that Jordan-Elbridge has presented a budget with a tax increase to voters. The proposed 2.75 percent tax levy increase falls below the district’s legal limit as defined by New York’s tax levy cap legislation. That means a simple majority (50 percent of votes plus one) is needed to approve the budget.
This year’s proposed tax levy increase is necessary due to both a modest increase in state aid, and the continued rising costs of goods and services. Current high ...
