Our senior internship program offers valuable real-world experience! Mrs.Barnes enjoyed interviewing several students including Avi Widner who was a student of hers while she was principal at JSE. Proud Bearcat moments! #BearcatPride
Bearcat Spotlight: Today was a solemn day in Mrs. Ornelas' 6th grade classroom as the students held a funeral for all of the boring and overused words. Mrs. Ornelas always finds creative ways to make lessons engaging, and this one was no exception. The Grim Reaper even made an appearance, adding a twist to the farewell of tired vocabulary. Students were fully immersed, actively participating in discussions about alternative words and brainstorming ways to elevate their writing. Way to go Mrs. Ornelas for finding unique ways to help our students succeed!

Bearcat Spotlight: Our 8th Grade Honors Social Studies students have been hard at work preparing for their We the People hearing presentations. This year, we’re excited to participate in our first-ever We the People scrimmage at Hobart Middle School on October 30th.

The 7th and 8th grade volleyball teams put up a valiant effort but both came up short in the GSSC Tournament. Despite the tough loss, the girls can be proud of their hard work and growth throughout the season. They showed dedication, teamwork, and improvement with each game. Though the tournament didn't end with a win, their season was a success in so many ways, setting a solid foundation for the future.
