Go Cougars!
As we return from break, we’ve spent some time focusing on important teach-tos—reminders of school expectations and routines to help students smoothly transition back after a two-week break. Through our play-based, developmentally appropriate program, students explore spatial relationships, sequencing, patterns, self-help, and peer interactions—all through the power of play. (And yes, we also had some fun in the snow!) When we walk down the hallway we can earn a spin of the wheel to decide a fun way to make the trek...our spin can prompt us to become sharks, fish, queens/kings, marshmallows, butterflies, eagles, etc.
Our 8th graders have been diving into the exciting world of graphing equations! Today, they practiced not only graphing on paper but also utilizing online platforms to visualize their equations.
The highlight? Finding the point of intersection! This skill is crucial as it helps students understand how to solve systems of equations and see where two lines meet.
This week, our Pre-K class had so much fun reading If You Give a Mouse a Cookie! 🐭🍪 The kids worked on sequencing the story and putting the events back in order. They did an amazing job remembering what happens next!
Our school family, took awkward family photos!!!
Our talented 2nd and 6th graders joined forces for a watercolor art session! These young artists brought their imaginations to life as they prepared pieces for January’s Bank Art display at Points West Bank.
Stop by to see their amazing work this month—it’s a beautiful celebration of creativity, collaboration, and community. We’re so proud of our students for making art that shines!

❄️ When it's too cold to be outside, we bring the party indoors! 🎉💃✨ Dancing, moving, and grooving to our favorite beats! 🎶
Happy New Year! Our third graders had a blast playing new math games to kick off the year! As we dive back into our school routine, they continue sharpening those math skills
This week, our third graders kicked off an exciting kindness project! We're on a mission to gather cards filled with kind words from all 50 states and around the world by February 14. Over the past couple of days, our students have been writing kind messages to other participating classes. We're thrilled to already receive wonderful notes from friends in Germany, England, Denmark, and Mexico! Help us spread the love.
Go Cougars!
We are so proud of the hard work that went into earning a spot on the Junior or Senior High School Honor Rolls. Congratulations!!!

Teachers are the ultimate multi-tools, always ready to meet the needs of their students. In one day, they might:
🔧 Fix confidence with a pep talk.
🧰 Build curiosity through engaging lessons.
🛠 Solve problems as a mentor and guide.
📏 Measure progress and celebrate achievements.
🎨 Inspire creativity with out-of-the-box thinking.
📚 Share knowledge as a lifelong learner.
🤝 Offer a listening ear when life feels tough.
Whether they’re planners, motivators, counselors, cheerleaders, or role models, teachers shape lives far beyond the classroom walls. They equip students with the tools to grow, dream, and succeed.
Congratulations, Matthew Reichman! He earned the Lion Pride Call of the Day from Mrs. Ehnes. Matthew is to be commended for taking initiative in our classroom today following our weekly random acts of kindness event. While not asked or directed, he knows classroom maintenance is very important, he took the time to help others not only clean up their space but he personally cleaned up the floor space around the entire classroom without being asked. Then made sure all of our supplies were gathered and accounted for. Thank you Matthew for demonstrating Lion Pride!!!
The Sedgwick County Girls Volleyball team was recognized on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday, November 19, 2024 by the Honorable Greg Lopez. This recognition comes after the program’s third state championship in four years. Congressman Lopez noted the team’s teamwork and determination which will serve as an inspiration for future generations of high school athletes. Congratulations to the student-athletes in the Girls Volleyball program on this national recognition!
Have you seen what our advanced art students are up to? 🎨✨ They are using multiple mediums to create humanoid figures, all while delivering powerful social commentary through their projects! What themes do you think are most important in today’s art?
Congratulations to Noah Harens and Owen Harris for earning All State Honorable Mention in Football. We are proud of you!
The high school staff at JHS have created their very own tool belt equipped with the best tools to benefit their students. A compass has been added to be a constant reminder to follow the right direction. In life, it's easy to get distracted and lose your way from time-to-time, but having a compass will always lead you where you need to be!

🌟 Random Acts of Kindness at JHS! 🌟
Each week, students at JHS take a moment to brighten someone else's day by completing a random act of kindness. Here's how it works: they randomly draw a name, write an uplifting, encouraging message, and drop it in a special bucket to be received on Fridays. It's a beautiful way to "fill" someone's bucket with positivity! 💧✨
But today, the students took it to the next level! Instead of the usual raindrop, they created personalized snowflakes for their chosen schoolmate—each one unique and made with care. ❄️💖
This small but meaningful gesture reminds us all that kindness, big or small, can create a ripple of positivity and help us build a supportive, caring community here at JHS.
