Questions?? Please read this first which will hopefully answer your questions, but if not, please
reach out to spiritboat@jbeone.org

TO RESERVE THE BOAT:

• Register your family on JBEone.org if you haven’t already. Make sure your kids',
  teachers and your contact info is correct.
• Review the calendar below. 
• Purchase your spirit boat date for $35 by clicking "Save and Checkout" at the bottom of this page. If you have two kids and want to paint twice, then add the boat once and checkout, then repeat the process. You can purchase only one date at a time.  Please put your requested date in the comments box. Dates are sold on first come first serve order. If there are duplicate requests for the same date, the second request will be refunded OR offered another date.  Business sponsors have early access to the calendar as well. 
• Once the date is confirmed, you will get a confirm email and the calendar will be update.  It's a manual process and we're volunteers so give us a moment :)
• If cost is an issue to rent (meaning you want to rent, but can’t afford) please contact president@jbeone.org to coordinate
• Think about what you want to do when you’re time comes!

TIME TO PAINT:

• Shop for or order the supplies you want for your project ahead of time.
• Do not use incorrect paints or products listed below! The use of incorrect materials or damaged discs may result in a charge for the cost of replacement.
• Confirm dates - Double check the calendar on JBEone.org to make sure you have the
  correct dates. Want everyone on the same page and to avoid any frustration/misunderstandings ;)
• Get your disc! Two days before you are scheduled to display it, pick up your disc from
  the school. You have TWO DAYs to paint the disc. We want to limit discs floating all over
  the place as they took time, $ and effort to get done - so you’ve got two days! :)
  • See timeline example below.
  • THE DISKS ARE LARGE - 4" in diameter - so picking up with an SUV or truck is easiest.  And if you know anyone that wants to help reduce the size or help maintain/paint them, please reach out to spirtiboat@jbeone.org
  • Disks will be located in a shed to the right of the school by the kindergarten pod
  • You can pick up any time of day starting two days before your scheduled display date.
  • If one side is already painted, that’s okay! Paint the other side or over the current paint with your message.
  • Remember to give yourself time for it to dry (acrylic paint does dry fast though!)
• Do your project at home. Use the approved paint types. Additional information about
  paints and project ideas below. No glitter please!
  • Do not paint both sides of the Disc. It’s OK if the other side is painted.
• Hang your disc on the boat.
  • See timeline example below
  • Do not hang your message before 6:30pm as that’s still someone else’s day.
  • After 6:30pm, take down the previous disc and return it to “Mr. Joes boat” by the office entrance.
  • Hang your Disc on the boat for everyone to see in the morning and all day tomm!
    The next person will take yours down at 630 pm and put into the shed next to the kindergarten pod. And the cycle continues...
  • If possible, TAKE PICS AT NIGHT when you hang it up. If you do take pics in the morning, please follow rules and park at Senior Center and walk over using sidewalks/crosswalk.   Please be careful with carpool traffic. 
• Make your kiddo smile!! Take a pic and tag us on instagram!

Timeline example:

1. You have rented the boat for the 3rd day of the month.
2. You can pick up your disc starting anytime on the 1st to take home to paint.
3. You can hang your disk at 6:30 pm on the 2nd.
4. Your disk will be replaced the evening of the 3rd by 6:30pm
5. In other words, your message can be up for 24 hours - 630pm the night before to 630 pm the night of your reserved day.

Example: if your kid's birthday is a Weds, you get your disc to paint on Monday or
Tuesday. Tuesday night at at 630 pm, put YOUR disc on the spirit boat. If there’s
another message on the boat, place that disc into the Mr. Joe boat. Your disc will then
be displayed a full 24 hours until the next person puts theirs up at 630 pm the next night
and so on.
