Mrs. Trizzle’s 4th grade students are getting creative with their learning as they work on their Roll a Story activity! Students are using their creativity and imagination to build their own stories while having a little fun along the way. #JeffersonCUSD1

There’s nothing better than fresh air, sunshine, and happy JES students! We’re so glad to see our 4th graders enjoying every minute of it! 🌞😊 #JeffersonCUSD1

Mr. Porter brought some music into the classroom by playing the ukulele for Mrs. Babcock’s students! The students loved listening to the music and even had the opportunity to try the instrument out themselves. 🎵

We love when our JES staff share their talents and create fun, memorable learning experiences for our students! #JeffersonCUSD1

Learning About Heat & the Sun ☀️

Mrs. Kings class has been studying heat and the sun! Students put their learning to the test by creating their very own solar ovens and using the sun’s energy to make delicious s’mores. What a tasty way to learn about science! 🍫🔥☀️ #JeffersonCUSD1

Mrs. King’s class had a blast in Art this week building towers with their Specials Buddies!

We love watching our JES students learn, create, and work together! #JeffersonCUSD1

Mr. Ulm started a fun new tradition at JES this year with our 6th grade students — a 1/2 mile race around the school with ultimate bragging rights on the line! Students gave it their all and brought plenty of excitement and energy to the event.

This year, Mr. Ulm took home the win and earned those bragging rights for another year! Thank you for creating such a fun memory and encouraging friendly competition with our students Mr. Ulm. What a great way to celebrate the end of the school year at JES! #JeffersonCUSD1
