Mr. Tweed's 3rd hour Mass Production class was able to get the first of three shelves assembled in the prom loft! Pictured are Merrick Noll, Wyatt Silvers, and Will Elias.

Photography class has been learning all about the basic settings of dslr cameras and to further their understanding of shutter speed we experimented with glow sticks in the dark! They had fun learning how a slow shutter speed can capture movement.

Life skills class is learning all about stress management and mental wellness. We kicked off our unit with a mindfulness and yoga session led by our very own Ms. Denise. Thank you Denise for sharing your knowledge with our students!

Mrs. Courtney's Fifth Grade Lunch Bunch has been listening to The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbra Robinson. We had brownies for dessert today and will finish the book tomorrow. We laughed a lot during this book. You should check it out or see the movie this Christmas season!

The 6th grade class took a field trip to the Washburn University Crane Observatory and Planetarium.
6th graders are currently learning about space in science class, so this was the perfect opportunity to go visit.

Mrs. Deviney's 1st grade had two guest speakers this week for Veterans Day. 🇺🇸 Pyper's dad, Sergeant Lucas Hattemer, came & spoke about his time in the US Marine Corps. Sergeant Hattemer earned an E-5 status & was on active duty for 5 years. He was an Aerial Gunner/Observer in the Marines. Boyd & Bennett's grandpa, Lieutenant Colonel Bruce Adams was in the US Army for 25 years. He was a Tanker/ Airborne/ Communications Officer. The children enjoyed learning about the different branches of the military, seeing the many uniforms they wore & some of their equipment. They learned about the Marine Corps Birthday & watched several videos of Lieutenant Colonel Adams & his family. Four of his five children are/were in the US Army. We thank both of them for their sacrifice & service. ❤️🤍💙 🇺🇸

Congratulations to our HS Volleyball players and the NEK All-League 1st and 2nd Teams!

Last week, the anatomy class performed a dissection of a section of cow leg bone, allowing them to see the interior structure of long bones. While larger than human leg bones, the structure is very similar, so they were able to see firsthand what the interior of a bone looks like and how they are not solid, as well as how thick the outer structure of the bone really is.

4th Grade Travels the Oregon Trail! Fourth graders embarked on an exciting journey back in time as they experienced life on the Oregon Trail. Over the course of several weeks, students learned about their pioneer families, built their own wagons, and carefully chose which supplies to take on their adventure. Along the way, they faced challenges and made tough decisions that determined whether their families would successfully reach Oregon. In the end, all families made it safely to their new home in the West.

Reminder: The JCN EMS K-5 Music Concert is at 6pm on December 15th!
