More butterfly release pictures.
The butterflies were released. That concluded our unit on life cycles. It was a beautiful afternoon and the kids enjoyed opening the cage and watching them take flight. They also made sure they had a safe place to stay.

Second graders! It’s time to release the butterflies tomorrow, June 9th at 12:45 at the elementary school on the south side. Come if you can. It won’t take long to release them or if you can’t make it I’ll post some pictures for you to enjoy. Hope you’re having a great summer!
More Kagan Training Pictures...as you can see by the smiles...the teachers were definitely engaged, learning and having great time!
Our teachers are already working hard in preparation for our students for the 2021-2022 school year. Teachers from JSD attended the Kagan Cooperative Learning Training this past week. This training provides our teachers with strategies that boost student engagement, promote communication and cooperation in the classroom and help students to retain information at higher levels.

Woohoo JES Staff! I just wanted to thank my amazing crew for their hard work, passion and commitment (especially through these challenging times) to having another successful visible learning year. They were already back and hard at it moving rooms, planning for students, scheduling, helping new teachers get moved in and setting up for next school year. Amazing work you guys - I am already looking forward to next school year. For now...enjoy your summer break! - Rhonda Palic
We want to extend our sincerest gratitude to our wonderful music teacher, Mrs. Bethany Jacobs and her junior high students for hosting a terrific show choir camp. She had an amazing turnout and the students did a fantastic job. Thank you Mrs. Jacobs (and students) for continuing your work during the summer to GROW GREAT KIDS!
More museum pictures
Second and third graders were able to go on a field trip to the Overland Trail Museum in Sterling. They got to learn all about a child’s life on the prairie with interactive activities such as gathering eggs, sweeping, and washing clothes on a washboard and hanging them out to dry.
The students also got to pan for gold and take some gold home. They had to determine whether it was real gold or fool’s gold.
We were amazed at all the artifacts. If you’re looking for something to do this summer, we would definitely recommend the museum. The first Saturday of every month they also do other craft activities with kids and kids 12 and under are free that first Saturday!
Thank you to PTO for sponsoring our trip. Thanks also to Mr. Stan for driving the bus so we could go.
Mrs. Jacobs and the high school Show Choir are ready for the big day tomorrow! Don't forget to have registered students to the high school at 9 AM for a day of Show Choir Camp!
8th grade’s final lab was to design a solar collector to bake a marshmallow for s’mores.
