True leaders not only perform amazing tasks, but they also inspire others to do the same. Today, the JHS Service and Leadership Team inspired visitors at the Welcome Center to lend a helping hand. Way to go SLT members! Your service is inspiring!
Kindergarten visited the construction site today and delivered letters to the construction workers telling them about the different places that are in our community.
Fifth grade shared their volcano knowledge with Kindergarten today.
Third grade was busy packing and sorting all of the donated items for their Making a Difference project. We will deliver all items on Monday. Thank you to all who donated the kids are very excited there is so much to give.
Third grade writing focus was an opinion essay on what they believe the school should do to make it better. Topics were longer lunch breaks, art and science rooms at the elementary, and longer recess. Students finished by sharing their opinion with their peers.
Another highlight of the Ag Field Trip was feasting on Martha Kinnie’s famous Sloppy Joes! Students also took a (supervised) spin around Kinnie farms in a tractor! FFA members also enjoyed burning off energy by wrangling and cuddling some Campbell lambs. If you know of any other great opportunities, field trips, or experiences that would benefit the AgEd students, send your suggestions to Miss Hope at hope_ch@julesburg.org Thank you again to our Ag partners for hosting this amazing opportunity for students!
FFA students had the engaging opportunity to visit agriculture in our county! From Campbell Club Lambs to Seaboard Farms and Brandt Boer Goats to Kinnie Farms, these students experienced agriculture first-hand! Special thank you to the Kinnie, Brandt, and Campbell Families and Seaboard Farms for providing this hands-on experience to students!
8th Grade Agriculture students have been learning all about soil! A special thank you goes out to Daniel Palic, Mark Hartelt, and Sherri Brandt at the Sedgwick County Conservation District for presenting to the students about soil health and the NRCS. Students then took their knowledge of soil to try out a soil ribbon test which figures out soil type (loamy, sandy, clay loam, etc). Another thank you goes out to Holly Christensen for allowing us to test her family’s ranch soil!
Joke of the day: How did the farmer find true love? She met her soil mate.
