Pre-K celebrated Thanksgiving by making and eating fruit cornucopias, eating pumpkin pie with extra whipped cream, and making a pumpkin pie craft!
Quotes from the panel of professionals:
"Don't put yourself in a box. Don't limit yourself or let others tell you that you can't."
"Don't give up."
"Five critical parts to success:
Show up and be ready to work hard.
Think critically
Problem solve
Be creative
Have tenacity"
"Keep an open mind"
"Network relationships"
"Be more afraid not to make an effort."
"We learn best from failure, it causes more successes."
"You just never know."
"Try to figure out the why."
"Make sure you learn something from every job and opportunity."
"You can do a lot more than one thing or one job."
"The only people that remember you work late is your family."
All great advice! Thank you to CHS, Agri Inject, Premier Farm Credit, and the many local entrepreneurs that were generous enough to let us be part of their day.

Have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!
The GT summit was a HUGE hit and it was very fortunate that we got to be a part of this up and coming future of ag.
The students got to tour three different sites in Yuma. Each site discussed the future combination of technology and ag. These companies already use technology extensively and mentioned this was only the cusp of what's to come. Their hope is to use technology for efficiency, safety, and allowing employees to work from a variety of locations.
All of these companies do business internationally. The opportunities are endless.
One of the most important parts of the day was during lunch there was a panel of successful individuals that gave their best advice to students about their future. Students were encouraged to ask questions throughout the day as well.
We would like to extend an ENORMOUS thank you to the organizers of this event, the businesses that took time to participate, and the "goodies" they gave each student.
This exposure to the future possibilities with technology and ag was very eye opening. We hope it sparked student interest to continue developing new and innovative ideas for the future.
Pieces and parts was the title of our science experiment.
Second grade had to label the inside and outside parts of a pen.
We discussed why the materials were the best "container" on the pen and whether the material was a solid, liquid, or gas.
7th graders did Rattle Bap today! A rap battle full of compliments! This was something that was shown in our Character Strong lessons. Be on the lookout for students completing their Character Dares. This week... second-hand compliments!
Home-made or store-bought? Third Grade did a blind taste test to see if they could tell the difference between a store-bought and a home-made pumpkin pie. Students observed, smelled, and tasted each sample before coming to a conclusion. They each were able to tell the correct one.
Thank you to Central Plains Equipment in Holyoke for donating sweatshirts to the Julesburg FFA Chapter. We appreciate their support of Agricutural Education.

Second grade would like to thank John Lough, a veteran, for sharing his military experience with us.
The students learned about rank, different military jobs, and respecting others.
Thanks also to his wife Peggy for sharing about poppies and their significance. She also had the students listen to Flanders Field to help students never forget those that have served.
Thank you to all veterans. We will never forget!
