Julesburg High School honored the memory of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and paid tribute to local first responders during today's 25th anniversary September 11th Assembly. The Junior/Senior High Choir lead off by paying tribute to our country singing the Star-Spangled Banner. The choir also performed This is Me for the audience.
Emergency personnel enjoyed coffee and donuts provided by the Pony Espresso, with representation from the Julesburg, Ovid, and Sedgwick Fire Departments, the Sedgwick County Ambulance Service, the Sedgwick County Communications Center, and the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office.
Local agencies recognized outstanding student leaders. The Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office honored Cash Campbell, Noah Harens, and Owen Harris for their community leadership, while the Sedgwick County Ambulance Service encouraged students to consider careers as first responders and recognized EMT class participants Piper Buettenback, Noah Harens, Owen Harris, and Christina Zuniga-Lopez.
Julesburg High School extends its sincere gratitude to all area emergency personnel and hopes our nation continues to unite with faith, strength, and courage.
Gifted and Talented Family Support: Make Room for Curiosity
One simple way families can support giftedness is by giving children time to explore what truly interests them.
This week, try a 15-Minute Curiosity Challenge. Ask your child, “What is something you want to understand, create, or solve?” Let them read, draw, build, research, test an idea, or teach you something about it.
If something does not work the first time, try asking, “What did you learn?” and “What could you try next?” These simple conversations encourage children to keep thinking, take on challenges, and learn from mistakes.
Research by Kyla Haimovitz and Carol Dweck found that parents’ responses to setbacks can shape how children think about their abilities. When adults focus on learning and improvement instead of only performance, children are more likely to see ability as something that can grow.
This is especially important for our identified GT students, who need meaningful challenges and opportunities to pursue their interests. It also matters for every student. At JSD, we want to notice strengths, nurture curiosity, and help each child discover what they are capable of.
“Every student carries a strength worth noticing, a curiosity worth nurturing, and potential worth challenging.”

Josh Palic is participating in a Work-based Learning Opportunity through the Juelsburg Agriculture Education Department and working for the NRCS. This class allows Seniors who have been enrolled in Ag Education for 3 years to work for an Ag-based business within our community in a career area that he or she is interested in pursuing. This gives the student the opportunity to find out more about the career and help them determine if this is the career for them.
As part of his Work-based Learning, Josh recently assisted the NRCS with a soil health demonstration for the "back to our roots" training for NRCS in Fort Collins. Josh is doing an internship with NRCS as part of his senior requirements. Soil health is defined as the continued capacity of the soil to function as a vital living systems that sustains plants, animal and life.
Josh assisted with several demonstrations, including the wind erosion machine, rainfall simulator, aggregate stability and slake test. The training highlighted the core principles of soil health: keeping the soil covered, maintaining living roots as long as possible, minimizing soil disturbance, and promoting plant diversity with livestock integration.
