Mrs. Monaghan's and Mrs. Curtner's third graders were feeling a little "BATTY" this week! They read in a bat cave, researched, measured, multiplied, divided, planted, and enjoyed a batty treat!










Mrs. Higgins' class and all JBE 3rd graders celebrated Bat Day 🦇 to welcome October! They read in the bat cave, did "batty" multiplication, researched bats, planted 🌱 in bat containers, and of course had a bat snack.










STRONG ATTENDANCE = STRONG LEARNING 💪🍎
When students are in class every day, they gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to succeed.
Attendance always matters, but October 6-10 is especially important. That's the week the state takes its enrollment snapshot to decide school funding for the year.
✅ Students in class = accurate snapshot = the right funding to support stronger schools in our A-rated District and better opportunities for our kids.
Let's work together to make sure our students are here next week—it makes a difference for everyone.

📚✨ JBE Media Center Celebrates Comic Book & Graphic Novel Month! ✨📚
October is recognized by the Children’s Book Council as Comic Book and Graphic Novel Month—a time to celebrate this exciting and creative medium! 🎨🦸♂️🦸♀️
Our students learned all about onomatopoeias—the fun sound words that bring comic books to life (think BAM!, CRASH!, POW!). Then, they had a blast creating their own! 💥💬
We love seeing our Vikings bring reading, writing, and art together in such a fun and imaginative way. ❤️📖










Mrs. Clark’s 2nd graders have been hard at work with UFLI phonics! 🧲✍️ We’ve been building words with magnets and practicing our best spelling through writing. These readers are growing stronger every day and having fun while they do it! 💙📚✨








✨ Mrs. Boudreau’s Littles have been shining in UFLI! ✨
It’s incredible to see the progress they’ve made after just a few short weeks of learning. We are so proud of their hard work and growth! 💙💛
