🍀💚 What an amazing day at the Jensen Beach St. Patrick’s Day Parade! 💚🍀 Our JBE cheerleaders, hype squad, and basketball teams brought the spirit, the smiles, and the serious energy as they represented our school with pride. The crowd loved them — and honestly, who wouldn’t? And the best surprise of all… we got a special visit from our brand‑new mascot! 🎉 The excitement on the kids’ faces said it all. Huge thank‑you to everyone who came out to cheer, wave, and celebrate with us. Community moments like these are what make JBE shine. ☘️💛

Great job, Demarius and Gabriel! 💙💛

Our teachers spent our early release day learning strategies to strengthen explicit instruction and increase opportunities for student response (OTRs) with support from district literacy specialist Courtney Beard.

The focus was on keeping students actively thinking, participating, and engaged in their learning. After the training, teams jumped into planning how they’ll bring these strategies into their classrooms.

A big shoutout to our teachers for always being willing to learn, grow, and find new ways to support our Vikings. We’re excited to see these ideas in action! 💙💛

We are proud to celebrate all of our JBE Vikings who participated in the Academic Games county competition! These students challenged themselves across multiple categories and represented our school so well. 💙💛

LinguiSHTIK
4th place – Gabriel Borges

Social Studies
1st place – Ciaran Farrell

Great job, Vikings! 🎉📚💙💛

Spring Break is here! 🌴☀️

We hope all of our JBE families, students, and staff enjoy a wonderful and well-deserved break. This is a great time to relax, spend time with loved ones, and make some fun memories together.

We can’t wait to welcome our Vikings back refreshed and ready for an exciting final stretch of the school year.

Victory for JBE in the IXL Challenge! 🎉💙💛

Our Vikings defeated Bessey Creek with 11.99 skills proficient compared to 11.43, which means JBE is advancing to the Elite Eight round of the MCSD March Madness competition!

We are so proud of our students for their hard work and determination. Now it’s time for the next challenge. JBE will face JD Parker Elementary in the Elite Eight round, which begins tomorrow, March 14, at 7:00 AM and ends March 20 at 4:00 PM.

We know our Vikings can rally over spring break and help carry us to the next round! Let’s keep the momentum going, keep those skills growing, and show what JBE can do! 📚🔥💙💛

We loved celebrating our Positive Office Referral superstars this week! 🌟 These Vikings were recognized for making great choices, showing kindness, and living out our schoolwide expectations: Just Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Everyone’s Responsible. We are so proud of the positive examples they set each day. Way to go, Vikings! 💛💙

Our campus was full of Viking pride at the JBE Basketball Tournament! 💙🏀💛 Our basketball teams did an amazing job, showing great teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the games. We were also thrilled to see our Cheer Squad and Hype Squad bring the energy with fantastic halftime performances that had the whole crowd cheering. A huge thank you to the many staff members who worked behind the scenes to organize such a fun and memorable event, and to the families who came out to support and cheer on our students. Your enthusiasm made the day even more special. We were also honored to have Superintendent Maine and Director Calderone join us for the event. One of the highlights of the day was the halftime “Maine Event” free throw competition, where they squared off against Principal Smith and Assistant Principal Law. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event such a wonderful celebration of our students. Go Vikings! 💙💛🏀

After reading Flat Stanley, our 2nd graders created their very own “Flat People” and took a special walking field trip to the post office to mail them! 🚶‍♀️📮 The staff at the post office were wonderful and took time to show our students how the mail system works—from collecting letters to sorting and sending them across the country. It was a great hands-on way to connect our reading to the real world! If you’re one of the lucky recipients of a Flat Person from our class, keep an eye on your mailbox—they’re officially on their way! We can’t wait to see where their adventures take them.

Our 2nd graders put on a fantastic Weather Show for their families! ☀️🌧️❄️

Students performed songs all about weather and the seasons, sharing what they’ve been learning in such a fun and creative way. It was wonderful to see so many parents come out to watch and support our young performers.

Great job to our 2nd grade Vikings for a wonderful performance and thank you to the families who joined us to celebrate their learning! 💙💛

🍎ON TIME. ALL IN. UNSTOPPABLE.🍎

Spring Break is almost here—but the days before and after are full of opportunities! 💪📚 When students show up on time, go All In, and build strong habits, they set themselves up to be truly Unstoppable. Let’s finish the year strong, Martin County School District families, because every day counts!

We were honored to welcome School Board Member Jennifer Russell to Jensen Beach Elementary! 💙💛

Mrs. Russell spent time touring our campus and visiting classrooms, getting a firsthand look at the incredible teaching and learning happening each day at JBE. Our students and staff were proud to share the work they are doing and the positive culture that makes our school such a special place.

Thank you, Mrs. Russell, for taking the time to visit and for your continued support and advocacy for our students, staff, and schools. We appreciate you!

Science came to life at JBE! 🔬💙

We were thrilled to welcome members of the Jensen Beach High School Science National Honor Society, who led our 5th grade students in fun, hands-on science learning experiences. From exciting demonstrations to interactive activities, our Vikings were fully engaged and eager to explore, question, and discover.

Not only did our students deepen their understanding of science concepts, but they were also inspired by these outstanding high school role models who share a passion for learning and leadership.

Thank you to the JBHS Science National Honor Society for making science unforgettable for our 5th graders! 💛

Recently we celebrated our incredible JBE Track & Field Team and their outstanding performance at the track meet! 💙💛

Coach Dictor hosted a special celebration party to recognize our athletes’ hard work, dedication, and teamwork throughout the season. And what a season it was! JBE earned 2nd place in the Girls Division, 2nd place in the Boys Division, and 2nd place Overall. 🎉

From sprints to distance events to field events like long jump, our athletes showed determination, perseverance, and true Viking pride every step — and jump — of the way. We are so proud of how they represented JBE both on and off the field.

A huge thank you to Coach Dictor for leading, encouraging, and celebrating our team — and congratulations to our amazing athletes on an unforgettable season! 💙💛

At JBE, mornings start with smiles, laughter, and lots of love! 💙

We believe every child deserves a warm welcome to begin their day, and Mrs. Pendergast knows how to make it unforgettable — greeting students with her famous T-rex arms! 🦖😄

These joyful moments help set a positive tone, build connections, and remind our students that they belong. It’s just one of the many ways we make JBE feel like home. 💛

We are so proud of our very own Mrs. Hannah Licameli! 💙💛

Mrs. Licameli recently led a professional learning session at Martin County School District’s Unstoppable U, sharing her expertise on “Unlock the Steps — UFLI & Building Thinking Classrooms.”

Her dedication to strengthening instruction and supporting fellow educators reflects the excellence we strive for at JBE every day. Our students benefit from her passion, knowledge, and commitment to continuous growth — and now educators across the district do too!

Way to represent JBE, Mrs. Licameli! 🎉
