🐛🦋 Our little learners in Mrs. Kuebrich’s and Mrs. Russell's classes have been buzzing with excitement exploring the wonderful world of The Very Hungry Caterpillar! 🎉 On Monday night, families joined us for a super fun celebration filled with creativity and smiles! We had a blast decorating beautiful butterflies, crafting colorful caterpillar noodle necklaces, creating a take-home caterpillar game, squishing and rolling playdough masterpieces, practicing fine motor skills with pom pom butterflies, and even enjoying a yummy caterpillar snack! What a fantastic night of hands-on fun!




Ms. Anderson and Mrs. Eickoff's Pre-K classes were treated to a pizza party at the end of our pizza theme! The kids enjoyed playing pizza restaurant, rolling pizza dough and making a pizza!

In celebration of National Student Leadership Week, our Senior National Honor Society students stepped up during Panther Time on Thursday to lead a campus clean-up and beautification project. Their efforts are a powerful reminder that leadership isn't just about grand gestures—it's also found in everyday actions that make a positive impact on our school and community.

JCMS 7th Grade Field Trip to the St. Louis Zoo!
What an unforgettable day our 7th graders had at the St. Louis Zoo on Thursday, April 24th! From watching playful sea lions and majestic elephants to exploring the beautiful zoo grounds with friends, it was a perfect mix of learning and fun. Huge thanks to our amazing staff and chaperones for making this adventure possible. Here’s to memories made, laughs shared, and curiosity sparked!









At East Elementary, we’ve been celebrating Autism Acceptance Month by learning about autism and embracing differences. Throughout the month, students participated in classroom activities and read-alouds focused on understanding and acceptance. Students also wrote how they can make a difference on handprints, which were assembled into an infinity symbol representing autism awareness.
We wrapped up the month with a special photo—our students spelling out the word AUTISM on the playground in their colorful shirts!
Thank you to our amazing students and families for supporting acceptance and making a difference!
