Third Graders are now published authors! Students wrote what each part of P.R.I.D.E (perseverance, responsibility, integrity, diligence, & excellence through effort) meant to them. We sent their writings and illustrations off and received the final product today. The class dedicated their book to Mrs. Palic and the JES students.
High School Art students are making string art ornaments as their Christmas project this year. Students have to sand, stain, design, hammer in nails, and wrap the string.
Recognize these signs?! The Service and Leadership Team spent last Saturday morning painting these signs to give Julesburg a fresh new look!
Go Cougars!
I was so proud of the second graders for their hard work and effort to publish a book! They each created an illustration page to go with their written work.
We received a free class copy of the book and students were allowed to purchase their own book as well.
A HUGE thank you to Rayden’s family for doing the “pay it forward” program. Because of their generosity we received an extra book to give away to a student that didn’t get to purchase a book!!! Thank you again.
Each student will get to keep our book for day in class before it goes on the shelf for them to enjoy the whole year.
Mrs. Monette gave a Good News Call of the Day to Andrew Welch. Andrew helped Mrs. Monette fold all of the table clothes from the Veterans Day program. He is also very respectful, hardworking, and helpful. Way to go Andrew!
Go Cougars!

With Thanksgiving right around the corner Third Grade did Balloons Over Broadway. They made their own Macy’s Thanksgiving Day balloons. Students had to plan and design prior to construction.
Colorado Coaches of Girls’ Sports (CCGS) recognize 90 seniors throughout the State. This year, Allie Bernhardt and Jensen Renquist have been selected to play in the Colorado Coaches of Girls’ Sports All-State Volleyball Game on Sunday, November 20, 2022 at Fossil Ridge High School in Fort Collins. It truly indicates that Allie and Jensen are quality people recognized by other coaches throughout the State. Allie and Jensen will take the floor at 10:30 AM. Good luck and thank you for representing Sedgwick County!

*** Congratulations to Coach Renquist as well! Coaches are selected in a similar fashion as the players, and she was chosen to coach in the CCGS All-State Volleyball game.
I get asked, “Why do you still have to go to professional development? Don’t you know how to teach after all these years?”
Yes! But as teachers we’re modeling that we are life long learners. We don’t like taking time away from our students but it is vital to continue to learn new and engaging strategies.
One of the strategies we learned on Monday was 4-2-1. We read a story then the students had to individually pick out the four most important things from the story, then they found a partner and had to choose the two most important things. Finally, they made groups of four to agree on the most important part of the story. Over time we will have them last step, using this information to write a summary!
Ms. Kreienheder’s Good News Call goes to Mackenzie Lopez for a multitude of reasons:
1- She has been so consistently responsible, punctual, and hard working during theater practices. She has become such an instrumental member of prop's team and their continued success!
2- After the Veterans Day Assembly, she found me and asked if I wouldn't mind mailing my mother one of the veteran pins. When I saw her later, I told her that I thought my mom would really appreciate a short note explaining how I ended up with the pin. Mackenzie wrote a very kind letter and then had her entire class sign it. I am so flattered by her kindness and cannot wait to mail it to my mom during her extended stay on base!
3- The video I had been using to play audio of the freshmen's book was suddenly taken off Youtube. Mackenzie found one without being asked, and has been playing it aloud for the class ever since. Today, the students are answering questions while they read, so Mackenzie has been pausing it so they could answer their questions. Before she presses play each time, she has been making sure all of her classmates have finished before continuing.
So much hard work and kindness from Mackenzie lately!!
