Homecoming Week!


Schedule for the week!


Our preschoolers had some very special visitors this week — some of our local first responders!
Introducing children to police officers, firefighters, and EMS teams helps them feel familiar and comfortable with these everyday heroes. Learning how to call for help and what to do in an emergency builds vital life skills and empowers children to stay calm and confident in a crisis.
We’re so thankful to our community helpers for taking the time to teach, connect, and inspire our young learners! ❤️










Ancient China has captured second grade’s curiosity! From ancestors to the Great Wall to Chinese writing—so much to learn!











It’s Homecoming Time, Cougars!

🎵 In music, 2nd graders have been learning about dynamics; volume of music. Today, students worked in groups to sort dynamic symbols from quietest to loudest. A favorite song has been "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt!" Hands down, their favorite dynamuc is fortissimo (ff) or VERY loud! 🎶




🌟Engaging young learners through hands-on activities is crucial in early education. Today in Kindergarten, we focused on number skills by implementing an organic number lineup. This method not only enhances counting abilities but also fosters teamwork and collaboration among students.🌟







Sixteen Julesburg FFA members traveled to Stratton, CO to compete in the State Range Judging Competition, where over 200 students put their skills to the test!
We’re proud to share that four members brought home State-level awards — a first for our chapter! 🏆
🥈 Cooper Edson — Silver Award
🥉 Noah Harens, Levi Reichman, and Owen Harris — Bronze Awards
The team placed 9th overall out of 22 teams, and every student showed great improvement from the regional contest.
👏 Congratulations to all our members for their hard work, growth, and dedication to learning more about Colorado rangelands! 💚💛

Huge shout out to Deputy Clark for coming to the school to visit and play with the students at recess today!!! We had a great time!



🎲🎯 Our first graders are having a blast learning how to solve addition word problems through a fun board game! Students worked together to read each problem, think through their strategies, and move their game pieces as they added their way to the finish line. 🧠➕💡
Hands-on learning makes math exciting — and these mathematicians are proving that practice + play = success! 🙌✨




Good luck Cade! Go Cougars!


🦋 We didn’t want to miss the magic of the butterfly migration! Our preschoolers took an afternoon stroll to the park to see the fluttering visitors up close. The excitement in their eyes as they watched the butterflies dance through the air was pure wonder! 🌿✨
