Jersey CUSD 100

Last week, Señora Lamer and Señora Rojas’ classes visited the Hispanic Festival in Soulard to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Students participated in a scavenger hunt around the festival practicing their Spanish speaking skills, tried several different foods from the Hispanic culture, and learned multiple dances including the salsa, mambo, and the cumbia. It was a HOT but great day for our JCHS Spanish students.

🎨 Splatters, smiles, and pure imagination! Mrs. Cole’s Pre-K class turned plain paper into incredible works of art today. There’s nothing quite like watching our littlest learners express themselves with paint! 🖌️✨

The JCHS Choir is officially kicking off its annual Century Resources fundraiser, and our talented students need your support! From delicious treats to unique household items, there is something for everyone in this year's catalog. All proceeds directly support choir programs and their performance needs throughout the school year.

Our entire school at JCMS just wrapped up an incredible **One Book, One School** event with local author Lindsay Currie! More than a week before its official release, every student and staff member dove into her brand-new book, *The Secret Bookstore Sleuth Society*. 📚🔍

The excitement kicked off with a special visit from Lindsay Currie herself before classes spent two full days reading the book together. From there, the mystery took over the school! Students investigated a interactive crime scene writing activity in the library and put their problem-solving skills to the test with ELA digital escape rooms. 🔎🚪

To cap it all off, Lindsay Currie returned for a full day of grade-level presentations, followed by a celebratory book signing complete with popcorn and a photo booth! 🍿📸 A extra-special shoutout to the talented students selected through our mystery story writing contest, who won a spot at an exclusive author lunch! 🥪✨

Thank you, Lindsay Currie, for inspiring our readers and writers! 💡❤️

JCHS Boys Soccer secured a 4-2 Cahokia Conference win over Central tonight at home!

Future engineers at work! 📐👏

How do real engineers create solutions? By testing, tweaking, and building under pressure! Mrs. Gettings' Molecular Biology class got hands-on experience with the Engineering Design Process, building budget-friendly water towers over 50cm tall that held 185g of weight! 🏗️✨ #STEM #HandsOnLearning

Poetic analysis took center stage in Mrs. Morgan’s junior AP English class as students engaged in a dynamic, station-based poetry jigsaw. Moving between interactive stations, students worked in small groups to unpack a variety of complex poetic works. Rather than relying on standard lecture, the students guided the analytical process themselves, tracking specific poetic elements. The activity required students to read critically, explore new AP skills, and share their insights with their peers. This activity highlighted the analytical rigor required of AP coursework, while demonstrating that deciphering poetry can be an active, engaging experience.

Ms. Kolkmeyer's Advanced Digital Graphics student, Eli Kallal, shows off the new lobby banners he designed for our school entrance! Thank you for sharing your design to highlight clubs, activities, and sports.
