Jensen Beach Elementary

📚✨ Turning the page into something BIG! Mrs. Monaghan and Mrs. Curtner's 3rd graders kicked off book clubs this week! From thoughtful discussions to exciting adventures between the pages, these readers are growing, sharing, and loving every chapter! 💕

🌴💙 JBE in the Community: A Back-to-School Throwback | Part 5 of 5 We’re wrapping up our weeklong throwback by celebrating the community at the heart of it all: Jensen Beach! For our final post, we’re highlighting visits with the Jensen Beach Chamber of Commerce, the History Museum of Jensen Beach, and Seacoast Bank. Our staff had the opportunity to learn more about the history, people, businesses, and partnerships that have shaped the community our school is so proud to be part of. Our back-to-school community experience was about more than visiting different places. It was about strengthening the connection between our school and the community we serve. We want our staff to know Jensen Beach, understand its story, and build relationships with the people and organizations who care about our students and families. To every community partner who welcomed our staff during our back-to-school launch, thank you. You gave us your time, shared your stories, opened your doors, and helped us start our year feeling even more connected to this incredible community. We are proud to be Jensen Beach Vikings, and we are so grateful to be surrounded by a community that supports our school! 💙💛

💙💛 Happy National Custodians Day! 💛💙

A big THANK YOU to our amazing custodial team for all they do each day to keep JBE clean, safe, and looking its best! We appreciate you! 🧹✨

🥋🎳 JBE in the Community: A Back-to-School Throwback | Part 4 of 5 Our weeklong series continues with two more places that help make our community special! As part of our back-to-school launch, our staff visited Kung Fu Academy and Jensen Beach Bowl. Our teams had the chance to experience places where our families connect, have fun, and build new skills while getting to know the people who make those experiences possible. Getting out into our community gave our staff another opportunity to experience Jensen Beach through the eyes of the students and families we serve. Thank you to Kung Fu Academy and Jensen Beach Bowl for welcoming our teams and being such gracious hosts. We appreciate you sharing your time with us and are so grateful to have community partners who care about our kids and families! 💙💛

Wishing a meaningful Yom Kippur to all who observe. May this day bring reflection, peace, and renewal. 💙

🧡 October is Bullying Prevention Awareness Month! 🧡

Be a friend. Speak up. Include everyone. Choose kindness. 💙💛
Together, we can make JBE a place where everyone feels safe, valued, and included.

🛒🐔 JBE in the Community: A Back-to-School Throwback | Part 3 of 5 We’re halfway through our week of looking back at our staff’s adventures in the community! Our staff also spent time with two familiar Jensen Beach businesses, Publix and Chick-fil-A.

Our teams enjoyed connecting with the people behind these businesses and learning more about the teamwork and service that happen every day. Thank you to our Jensen Beach Publix and Chick-fil-A teams for taking the time to welcome our staff and be part of our back-to-school experience. We are so thankful for local businesses that support our community and help make Jensen Beach feel like home! 💙💛

🧠💙 Building Thinking Classrooms in Mrs. Clark’s 2nd Grade! 💛 Our mathematicians worked together, shared strategies, and learned from one another as we kicked off Topic 3: Adding Within 100! ➕✨ We’re learning that in math, there’s more than one way to solve a problem—and sometimes our friends help us see it in a whole new way! 🧩🤝📚

🇺🇸 Celebrating Constitution Week at JBE! 🇺🇸 Our fifth-grade students had the opportunity to welcome Loretta Hall, Esq. as a special guest speaker in celebration of Constitution Week! Ms. Hall shared her knowledge about the U.S. Constitution, our system of government, and the important role attorneys play in upholding the law. Our Vikings were engaged, asked great questions, and left inspired. In fact, a few students are now thinking they might want to become attorneys themselves one day! ⚖️ Thank you, Ms. Hall, for sharing your time and expertise with our students and helping bring their learning to life! 💙💛
