Ms. Baumgartner creates a space where students are excited to read, explore, and learn. From helping students find the perfect book to supporting learning across our school, she brings so much creativity, care, and passion to everything she does.
Thank you, Ms. Baumgartner, for all you do to inspire a love of learning in our Vikings. We are so grateful for you! 💛

Today we celebrate the legacy of a woman who helped the world see the Everglades not as a swamp, but as a living, breathing River of Grass. Her passion for protecting this unique ecosystem continues to inspire generations.
At JBE, our commitment to environmental stewardship is more than a theme, it is part of who we are. As a proud Everglades Gold Champion School, we work every day to connect our students to the natural world around them and empower them to protect it.
From our Eco-Action Team to hands-on learning experiences, our students are learning that they, too, can make a difference, just like Marjory. It is never too early or too late to leave a positive mark on the world.

During a recent professional learning session connected to the Marzano instructional framework, our team explored ways to strengthen student thinking, increase engagement, and continue refining instructional practices that support strong learning in every classroom.
This is what makes JBE so special. Our teachers are not only amazing educators, they are incredible learners who are always looking for ways to grow for their students.
A special shoutout to our teacher leaders, Amanda Shadinger and Jennifer Ventriglia, who collaborated with Principal Smith to facilitate the conversation and guide the learning.
We are so proud of our JBE team and their commitment to continuous learning and growth for our students. 💙💛







The students in Mrs. McIntyre’s first-grade class put their sentence building and expository writing skills to the test by explaining the steps for making a PB&J sandwich. 🥪
We followed their exact instructions… and let’s just say we had a lot of fun along the way! It quickly became clear how important good details are when giving directions. Great writing leads to great sandwiches!








During the assembly, we recognized our Students of the Month for showing what it means to care for others through their actions and kindness. We also celebrated students who reached important milestones with their IXL learning achievements.
It’s always special to take time to recognize the hard work, character, and dedication our students show each day. We are so proud of our Vikings! 🎉
