We had a special musical visit today! The Washburn Rural Middle School 7th grade band stopped by JSE as part of their tour and treated us to their fight song and several other familiar tunes.
Our 5th graders also had a chance to get an up close look at the instruments and explore which ones they might be interested in playing next year. What a fun way to build excitement for music at the next level!
Thank you, WRMS band and Ms. Casey, for sharing your talents with our Blue Jays! 🎶💙
It’s been an exciting few days at JSE as our building has been patiently waiting for the chicks in third grade to hatch. 🐣 Mrs. LaCount even set up a video link and read aloud to celebrate this special time! Now that they’ve finally arrived, we are looking for families who want to take one…or four, home! Mrs. Havay has already adopted two. If you’re interested in adopting a chick or two, contact Mrs. LaCount! 🐥 🐥🐥
We spot some familiar faces! Thank you to the Auburn Washburn Foundation for supporting our JSE teachers and students!
The Halloween parade will be starting soon🎃

Teamwork in Action
Our Jay Shideler Elementary School before-school members put their collaboration skills to the test with a fun and challenging cup-stacking activity! Using only strings and teamwork, they worked together to carefully move and stack cups, communicating every step of the way.
This hands-on challenge encouraged problem-solving, patience, leadership, and cooperation while proving that when we work together, amazing things can happen! 💙
A special shoutout to Ms. Kynzi for creating engaging opportunities that help our members build important life skills while having fun.
