Final update for JCN Cross Country. Saturday was the biggest meet of the year for the JCN High School Cross Country Team - State Cross Country at Wamego, a difficult course as anyone who has run it will tell you. The girls placed 10th as a team, running a great race. They were lead by Ella Seymour (46), followed by Rowan Robey (47), Madelyn Gerety (72), Adalynn Rice (85) Bailey Jenkins (88), and Aletta Borg (89). The boys were lead by Max Kane, our lone individual medal winner (12), followed by Scotty Roloff (54), Riley Ladesic (55), Caliber Beecham (61), Tucker Bryant (68), Sawyer Huff (83), and Judah Borg (91). The boys have been talking the entire season about bringing hardware home this year from state. They walked into the meet ranked 7th in the state, but knew they were better - they proceeded to accomplish something that has happened once in our schools' history - placing 3rd at the state cross country meet, winning a tie breaker to hold onto 3rd place, and narrowly missing 2nd. It was a remarkable end to an amazing season for all our runners - plenty of PR’s, both teams winning league, the boys winning regionals and the girls placing 3rd, and both teams qualifying and performing well at state, including a trophy! Thank you to all who have supported our team through the season, especially to those who made the journey to Wamego today to support our kids. None of this would be possible without you. The coaches are incredibly grateful to the kids, families, and community for all you do.
First grade had so much fun dressing up this week for Twin day, College day, and of course HALLOWEEN!

🗳️ JCN Bond 2026: Two Questions. Four Possible Outcomes.
As Election Day approaches on November 3, we want our community to understand how the two-question bond proposal works and what each possible outcome means.
🏫 Question #1 — $3,485,000: Addresses critical infrastructure, HVAC, roofing, parking, safety, and security needs across our schools.
🌱 Question #2 — $1,535,000: Provides additional learning spaces for Agriculture Science and Web and Digital Communications, along with ADA-accessible restroom improvements.
Because the questions are voted on separately, there are four possible outcomes:
✅ Both questions pass.
✅ Question #1 passes, but Question #2 fails.
✅ Both questions fail.
✅ Question #1 fails and Question #2 cannot pass on its own.
The accompanying graphic also outlines projected mill levy increases and estimated monthly costs for residential, commercial, and agricultural properties under the different bond scenarios.
Our goal is to provide clear, factual information so our community can understand the proposal, review the potential costs, and make informed decisions at the polls.
📅 Election Day is November 3!

Some of our 1st grade Fall Favorites are reading our Nonfiction, We Can Move book, by Mateo Garza. Essential Question: How does your body move? Pair Read with What's Under Your Skin? After reading and discussing, dancing to the Monster Mash music. 1st grade enjoyed making a skeleton, thinking about the EQ.
First grade also enjoyed listening to a read aloud, Pumpkin Jack, by Will Hubbell. Our classroom pumpkin had started decomposing, causing the action of bacteria, fungi, and little insects and a unique order. We took it out to a favorite spot to complete its decaying process. We will continue to visit the process.
Earlier, students wrote on fall leaf one thing they already learned or want to learn this year and posted them at the Fall for Learning campsite.
