The talented SMS band students gave a fantastic performance and shared a little about what it’s like to be part of the band program in middle school. It was a fun and inspiring experience for our students as they begin thinking about the exciting opportunities waiting for them next year. Students heading to middle school will have the option to join band, and this performance gave them a great glimpse into what that experience can look like.
A big thank you to their band director, Ms. Roberts, for bringing the band to JBE, and a shoutout to our own music teacher, Mr. Skrobinski, who even joined in on the trombone! 🎺
We appreciate the Stuart Middle School band for sharing their music with our Vikings! 🧡💙
Stuart Middle School will host its 6th Grade Showcase on Thursday, April 2, from 5:00–6:30 PM — a wonderful opportunity for our current 5th grade families to learn all about life at SMS.
Families will be able to tour the campus, hear from the administrative team, explore academic and extracurricular programs, and meet the staff who will support your child next year.
This is a great chance to get questions answered and help your future middle schooler feel excited and confident about the transition. We hope to see many of our JBE families there! 💛
During the event, our Eco Action Team officers helped bring the story from Ms. Mason’s book to life through readers theater, creating a fun and engaging experience for everyone in attendance.
We are so proud of our students for representing JBE and supporting this wonderful event celebrating storytelling, creativity, and environmental learning. 💙💛
Our JBE students recently took time to reflect on our nation’s history and Florida’s role in shaping it by participating in the America 250FL Art Contest.
As part of the project, students explored how Florida contributes to our country in many ways, from space exploration and agriculture to tourism, military training, innovation, and environmental stewardship.
Their creativity and thoughtfulness really shined through in their artwork. We are so proud of the amazing pieces they created! 💙💛
