Boettcher Foundation names FINALISTS!
Congratulations to JHS Seniors, Kierra Ehnes & Jensen Renquist for being selected as one of 100 finalists for the 2023 Boettcher Scholarship! With submissions from more than 2,000 qualified Colorado seniors, this year's applicant pool was intensely competitive, making the selection process incredibly difficult. As a result, advancing to the finalist round is a remarkable achievement. Being a merit-based scholarship these finalists are further judged on their superior scholastic ability and intellectual curiosity, evidence of leadership and involvement, service to community and school, & outstanding character during their personal one-on-one interviews with the Boettcher Foundation in March. The Boettcher Foundation Scholarship will cover the cost of scholars tuition, fees, and books for 8 semesters. Of the 100 finalists, 50 will be named Boettcher Scholars.

Julesburg Elementary continues to celebrate all things literacy! We would like to give a special thank you to our Superintendent, Mr. Ehnes for serving as our guest reader today. Students took on a Christmas Break Reading Challenge and tracked how many different places they could read over break. Students were rewarded with a hot chocolate party and a story read by Mr. Ehnes. The book was "What Would You Do With A Chance" by Kobi Yamada and Mr. Ehnes shared a great message about being brave and taking chances in order to take part in new and exciting experiences. It was a great day to be a Julesburg Elementary Student!

Sixth grade learned about shades of meaning, or the different levels of intensity, that words can have. Yesterday they did a fun activity where they had to find a more intense word to replace a bland word in a given sentence. Today, they navigated around the room to rate the intensity of similar words, choose the more descriptive word, and come up with a better alternative to the boring word that was given.
Go Cougars!
