Thank you for the tremendous support from our community.
This week, our third graders dove deeper into lifecycles by exploring inherited traits in animals. Each group was given a specific animal to study, and students worked together to identify traits passed down from parent to offspring.
They then presented their findings, explaining how these traits help the animal survive and thrive in its environment. From camouflage to special body features, our students did an amazing job making real-world science connections
Tic Tac Toe With a Multiplication Twist!
Third graders practiced their multiplication facts by playing a fun, hands-on version of Tic Tac Toe. To earn a spot on the board, students had to solve a multiplication problem—making the game both strategic and educational!
They quickly discovered that they had to think ahead, block their opponent, and multiply three in a row to win.
The classroom was full of laughter, excitement, and lots of great math thinking. The best part? They were learning the whole time
🦃 Gobble up some math fun, JES families! Our St. Jude Math-A-Thon is back — turkey style! 🍁 From November 17th–20th, we’ll be counting, calculating, and caring for a great cause. Join the JES Student Council as we have fun with math and make a difference for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital! 💛📚

🚨 Community Connections! 🚓🚑📞
Last week, we were excited to welcome some amazing community members who spoke with our 9th–12th grade students about their work in public safety.
We had representatives from law enforcement, emergency management, the coroner’s office, EMT services, and dispatch join us to share their experiences and answer questions.
One of the highlights? Students got to listen to real 911 call recordings — an eye-opening look into how our first responders handle emergencies in real time!
A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to come speak and inspire our students! 💙👏

Congratulations to Mrs. Sanabria for being named the Julesburg Jr./Sr. High School Teacher of the Month for the month of October!
This month’s winner was decided by the Class of 2026. Mrs. Sanabria was nominated by Shelby Lechman, Lucas Harris, and Carlie Brandt.
Mrs. Sanabria has been in education for nine years, and has been at Julesburg for seven years, but she is in her first year as the school counselor. In addition to her counseling duties, she also teaches 9th-12th ICAP classes.
The thing she loves most about her job is “being someone students can look up to and feel comfortable coming to for support. I value being a trusted person they can turn to for anything they need and helping them feel seen, heard, and cared for.”
Some things she enjoys doing outside of school are camping with her family, coaching softball, watching movies or spending time with her family, and supporting our Cougar athletes by attending their events and cheering them on.
Here are some of the things the Seniors have to say about Mrs. Sanabria:
“Mrs.Sanabria is very understanding and helpful, she is also always willing to put in extra work to help out her students. I appreciate how caring she is.”
“Mrs. Sanabria is very kind, genuine, helpful, reliable, and supportive.”
“Mrs. Sanabria is very fun and is very helpful!”
“She makes sure I have everything I need to have for graduation and helps other people around the school with anything they need. She is always willing to help anybody.”
“I think some of her good qualities is that she is very willing to help us with any problems we have and is very good at listening to the problems we have. She is also very understanding to her students. Some of the great things she does for our students is also helping them and providing a good learning environment.”

On Monday, Jr & Sr High Vocal Choir students attended the annual League Choir, hosted this year at Caliche. Students spent the day with guest clinician, Ms. Annette Lambrecht from Sterling Middle School. Throughout the day the students rehearsed patriotic melodies and later performed a concert in the evening. 🎶 🇺🇲
Second grade had special visitors—Mr. and Mrs. Lough—who came to share their experiences with the Air Force. Mrs. Lough spoke about Flanders Field and the story of the Poppy Lady, while Mr. Lough talked about his time serving, showing students parts of his uniform and explaining their significance. The students especially loved getting to try on his jackets!
We are so grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Lough for their service and for taking the time to help our students understand the importance of Veterans Day. each student was also able to take home a copy of their own.

Come cheer on our girls, as we send them off to the State Volleyball Tournament!
We will be honoring all Veterans tomorrow!
How do you check the effectiveness of your procedural writing? You test it out!
First and second graders teamed up for a sweet writing lesson. Mrs. Harens read student-written procedural pieces word for word—then followed their directions to make ice cream sundaes!
Students quickly discovered the importance of adding clear, detailed steps… and were rewarded with a tasty sundae for their hard work!
6th graders enjoyed a fun and focused "Turkey" review to strengthen their fraction skills. Working either individually or in pairs, students practiced adding and subtracting a wide variety of fractions!
☀️ November sunshine calls for something special — an outdoor nap! 😴🍂
Our preschoolers soaked up the mild fall weather this week, resting peacefully under the open sky. There’s something magical about the fresh air, warm sunshine, and gentle breeze that makes nap time even sweeter. 🌤️
We love taking advantage of these beautiful autumn days — learning, playing, and even resting outdoors whenever we can! 💛 #PreschoolLife #OutdoorLearning #FallDays #FreshAirAndSunshine

Our third graders have been working hard mastering their multiplication facts! This week, they were introduced to division and discovered how it connects to multiplication. They’re realizing that division is just another way to “undo” multiplication.
Curious minds at work! Today our kindergarten explorers used string to measure objects and compare sizes—smaller, bigger, and about the same. 🧵📏 Seeing students measure with their own hands builds spatial thinking and confidence.
