FINAL DAY WITH THE WILD WEST BOOSTER TEAMStudents and the Booster Ladies showed kindness, gratitude and humility to our wonderful cafeteria and custodial teams today. Look at those great hugs and "thank you" signs. We told you Booster is so much more than fundraising!
BOOSTERTHON - SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS WITH FIRST GRADE!Boosterthon is so much more than a fundraiser. First graders earned the chance to go outside to learn about science with an exploding, bubbling, glittery experiment. Today, all students learned about humility - taking the spotlight off yourself and placing it on others. Throughout their Wild West week students also learned about honesty, gratitude, generosity and kindness.
Tomorrow is a Top Secret Mission challenge. Thursday is the Fun Run! Stay tuned! BOOSTERTHON - PIE IN THE FACE DAY!!!
The 3rd grade classes earned today's fun reward - Pie The Boosterthon Ladies!! Each teacher smashed a pie! The kids had a blast watching this reward. Thank you to everyone who has pledged during Boosterthon Week. We appreciate all of your support as we raise funds for our teachers at JBD. Keep up the great work!
Pajama Day is Tuesday! Fun Run is Thursday! BOOSTERTHON UPDATE!

All students earned a JBD sports bottle today! A special surprise gift will be handed out at the Fun Run if we reach our goal! Use this link to register and donate. We want to be able to gift new science supplies and so much more to our wonderful teachers. BOOSTERTHON IS ON!
