🧠🎉 Way to go, JBE Academic Games Team! 💙💛
Our Academic Games team represented Jensen Beach Elementary at the State Academic Games Competition today, taking on a wide range of challenging events including equations, linguistics, presidents, current events, Nordic mythology, and propaganda.

🎭🏆 Big congratulations to JBE’s Odyssey of the Mind team! 💙💛
Our talented team earned 1st place in Division 1 for their creative solution to the problem “Lost in OMerland.” Students designed and used a team-created trip assistant to guide them to a new location — but when the device malfunctioned, their journey took a wildly imaginative turn! Their problem solving, teamwork, and creativity truly shined.
Because of this incredible achievement, the team is advancing to the State Odyssey of the Mind Competition in Orlando! 🎉
A huge thank you to their dedicated coach, Mrs. Sugg, for guiding and supporting these students every step of the way. We are so proud of our Vikings and cannot wait to see what they accomplish next. Good luck at State! 💙✨

☕🐆 Java with the Jaguars at JBE! 💙
We were so glad to welcome the Stuart Middle School team — including Principal Dr. Jones — to Jensen Beach Elementary for Java with the Jaguars. They met with our 5th grade families, shared what makes SMS special, and answered questions about the transition to middle school. It was a wonderful opportunity for families to connect and feel confident about the exciting next step ahead.
Families still have another opportunity to learn more at the Stuart Middle School 6th Grade Showcase on Thursday, April 2, from 5:00–6:30 PM at SMS. Families will be able to tour the campus, hear from the administrative team, explore programs, and meet staff members.
Thank you to the Stuart Middle School team for partnering with us to support our students and families during this important transition. We know our rising 6th graders will do amazing things! 💛

We are so proud of the positive examples they set each day. Way to go, Vikings! 💛💙
We loved celebrating CTE Month at JBE! 🎉 Our students took part in so many hands‑on learning experiences, including Xello activities, career fair, Media Center career displays, STREAM Night challenges, Imagineer Lab exploration, and even Kindergarten Plays to spark early creativity and career awareness.
CTE Month was a wonderful way to highlight the real‑world skills our students are building.
Mrs. Curtner and Mrs. Monaghan's third graders have been busy celebrating with sweetheart-themed fun- exploring fractions through cookie making and crayon creations, writing Valentine's haikus, and sharing special reading time with our sweethearts! 💕📚

Mrs. Clark’s class had a great time at the Environmental Studies Center! We learned about the food chain and how plants and animals depend on each other. We also explored animal adaptations and discovered how animals survive in their habitats.
Ask your 2nd grader what they learned! 🌎✨
Mrs. McIntyre’s first graders had a fantastic time celebrating the number 120 and showing off everything they’ve learned! 🎉
To make the day even more fun, some students even dressed up as if they were 120 years old — and the results were adorable!
Learning + creativity = a perfect day in first grade! 💙

Happy 120th Day of School from Granny Engel’s First Grade Class! 💙💛
Our first graders celebrated in style by dressing up like they were 120 years young — complete with gray hair, glasses, canes, and lots of personality! 👵👴
What a fun way to celebrate 120 days of learning, growing, and becoming smarter every single day. We are so proud of our “120-year-olds!” 🎉
Ms. Creager’s First Grade turned 120 today! 👵👴💛
To celebrate the 120th day of school, our sweet first graders came dressed as 120-year-olds — and they absolutely understood the assignment! We saw gray hair, curlers, suspenders, canes, pearls, and cardigans!
We may look 120 years old, but we’re 120 days smarter, brighter, and better than ever! ✨
Growing minds, big imaginations, and lots of laughs — that’s what first grade is all about!

Thinking was visible everywhere at JBE during our Principal’s Classroom focused on Building Thinking Classrooms! 💙
Teachers immersed themselves in high-engagement math strategies right alongside students, experiencing firsthand how these approaches spark discussion, problem solving, and deep understanding. Our students rose to the challenge, actively sharing their thinking and showing just how powerful engagement can be. 😄
A special thank you to Denise Harrison, our district math coach, for helping lead this learning alongside our students and staff. Her support continues to strengthen math instruction across our school.
We are so proud of our teachers for continually growing their practice to give our Vikings the very best learning experiences every day. 💛

Caring in action at JBE! 💙
Our amazing school counselor, Mrs. Sportsman, has been working with our first graders on what it means to care for others. Through fun lessons and hands-on collaborative activities, students practiced sharing, helping, listening, and encouraging one another.
It was heartwarming to see our young Vikings putting caring into action and learning that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. 💛

Winter came to kindergarten… JBE style! ❄️
Ms. Boudreau’s class explored a series of books about winter and snow, building vocabulary and comprehension along the way. To celebrate their learning, students wrapped up with a fun “snowball toss” — safely tossing soft snowballs at Principal Smith! 🎯😄
A perfect mix of literacy, movement, and joy — learning brought to life! 💙
