Martin County Academic Games Equations is starting soon!
🎓💙💛 AVID SPIRIT DAY IS THIS FRIDAY! 💛💙🎓
This Friday, September 18, JBE will celebrate National AVID Day with a special Spirit Day! Students and staff are encouraged to wear the colors or gear of their favorite college, university, or JBE as we celebrate learning, goal setting, and dreaming big for the future!
You may be wondering, what is AVID? AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) helps students develop the skills, mindsets, and habits they need for success in school, college, careers, and life.
JBE is currently in our planning year to become an AVID Elementary School, joining other schools across the Martin County School District in implementing AVID. We are excited to begin this journey and look forward to the opportunities it will create for our Vikings as we help them build strong academic habits, set goals, develop confidence, and begin thinking about their futures.
🌟 Want to learn more about AVID and what it will look like at JBE? We will share a brief AVID overview as one part of each of our upcoming PTA and SAC meetings. Families are welcome to attend either meeting!
📅 PTA Meeting: Tuesday, October 6 at 5:30 PM
📅 SAC Meeting: Wednesday, October 7 at 2:15 PM
For now, help us kick off our AVID journey by showing your school spirit this Friday, September 18! We can't wait to see our Vikings representing their favorite colleges, universities, and JBE! 💙💛
Big dreams start early! 🎓✨

Students used the cereal to create equal groups, model division problems, and strengthen their understanding of division through a creative and engaging learning experience. We love seeing our Vikings making meaningful connections in math! 💙💛

Learning through play in Ms. Thibodeau’s VPK class! 💙💛
Our littlest Vikings were busy building friendships, practicing social skills, and learning together during free play and small-group activities. 🧩✏️
During small group, students worked on listening and following directions while practicing tracing their names and making early prewriting strokes. These simple activities help build the fine motor skills and pincer grip needed for writing and drawing.
So much learning happens through play, conversation, and those little hands hard at work! We love watching our VPK Vikings learn and grow! 💙💛
💙💛 Volunteers Make a Difference at JBE!
We were so excited to welcome our Viking volunteers for our Volunteer Orientations! Our volunteers give their time, talents, and support in so many ways, and we are incredibly grateful for their willingness to be part of our school community.
The partnership between our school, families, and community makes JBE such a special place for our students. Thank you to everyone who joined us and to all of our volunteers who help support our Vikings throughout the year. We appreciate you! 💙💛

🌦️ Wacky Weather at JBE! 🌪️
Last week, our 2nd grade Vikings had a special visitor! We were excited to welcome WPBF 25 News meteorologist Ms. Sheaks to JBE to talk with our students about the wacky weather that can be found around the world! 🌎☀️🌧️
Our students loved learning from a real meteorologist, asking questions, and making connections to what they are learning about weather in science.
A huge thank you to Ms. Sheaks for spending time with our Vikings and helping bring science to life! 💙💛
