Our Vikings did it! Thanks to their hard work and positive choices, students earned enough Elf Points to complete our North Pole PBIS adventure and bring Principal Smith home.
Students earned Elf Points by:
*Picking up “snowballs”
*Completing IXL lessons
*Earning compliments for following school-wide expectations
*Leaving classrooms neat and tidy for our amazing custodial staff
Through it all, our Vikings showed what it truly means to be Safe, Respectful, and Responsible. We are so proud of their teamwork, effort, and Viking pride!
We can’t wait to welcome Mrs. Smith back to JBE in January and we’re so thankful for a school community that makes learning fun, meaningful, and joyful. 💙🎄
Watch the final videos and check out some photos from the adventure below as we wrap up this festive PBIS experience.

Our North Pole PBIS adventure is officially underway!
Students have now seen the first two video updates, where Santa’s elves let us know they’ve been watching our school and have BORROWED Principal Smith! The elves are very impressed by how our Vikings are Safe, Respectful, and Responsible each day.
These videos are part of a fun, school-wide way to reinforce positive choices and celebrate Viking behavior, while building a little holiday magic along the way.
Check out the first two videos below to follow the story so far!
Family conversation starter: Ask your child why they think the elves might need help from our school.
More updates coming soon as this mystery unfolds…

🌟UNSTOPPABLE TEAMMATE: LIFESAVER EDITION🌟
Some moments remind us exactly why the right people in the right place truly matter. At Jensen Beach Elementary School, one of those moments happened when Ms. Dina McFadden didn’t hesitate—she acted.
When a 5th-grader began choking on a water bottle cap, Ms. McFadden relied on her training, her calm, and her instincts. While others called 911, she immediately performed the Heimlich maneuver, helping him dislodge the cap and breathe again. His mom, a para on campus, rushed over—grateful beyond words that her child had an everyday hero by his side when it mattered most.
Today, Superintendent Maine, Executive Director of HR Jeff Raimann and his team, Principal Smith, Assistant Principal Law, the student, and his mom surprised Ms. McFadden with a special Unstoppable Teammate Award, celebrating her courage, care, and quick life-saving action.
Ms. McFadden, thank you for being extraordinary—and for showing what it truly means to go #ALLINMartin👊.
