Our 4th graders took an adventure on the Oregon Trail yesterday (11/9)!
Over the past couple of weeks, students have been learning about the Oregon Trail, their families, and building their own covered wagons. They had to carefully decide what supplies to bring, keeping a specific weight limit in mind. Every item mattered!
During our wagon train simulation, students encountered different scenarios and hardships that pioneer families might have faced along the journey. Unfortunately, the trail wasn’t easy! Only 2 out of our 5 families successfully made it to Oregon. The other 3 families experienced hardships that prevented them from reaching their destination.
Through this hands-on experience, students learned that the journey west required careful planning, tough decisions, perseverance, and a little bit of luck. Most importantly, they gained a better understanding of the challenges and uncertainties pioneer families faced as they traveled west.

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!
