JWB Hosts Battle of the Books!
Students at JWB have spent weeks rigorously reading and discussing books in preparation for the annual Battle of the Books competition. Teams for each grade level worked with teachers as they prepared to square off in competition to see which team is able to accurately answer the most questions about their respective books. During the competition, parents and guardians were invited in to watch and celebrate the participants. The culminating activity will be a Book Battle between the winning team for JWB and the winning team from MCM. Thank you to JWB Library Media Specialist, Mrs Polack and the teacher captains for providing this awesome learning activity to our students!

JWB Lucky Bulldogs
This year the JWB PBIS team sought to create a program in which they could raise the spirits and morale of our students. Their efforts have led to the creation of the Lucky Bulldog drawings. Every Wednesday, two students are selected from each grade and then announced as our Lucky Bulldogs. These students receive a sticker indicating their Lucky Bulldog status as well as the chance to select from the prize box. The positive impact of "winning", and the recognition from having your name announced during the morning announcements, has already created a positive vibe in our schools and we have had over 80 Lucky Bulldogs since December.

On Thursday, October 27th, faculty and staff at JWB were excited to welcome the return of the annual Staff Dodgeball Game! The dodgeball game is not only a great opportunity for students to have fun watching their teachers and school staff "let their hair down" and play a game for the students' entertainment, it serves as a way to give back to the JWB community--traditionally funds raised from the game go to support the Vincent Loughlin Scholarship Fund!
Thank you to the amazing Ms Sass, Mrs Crantz, Coach Munger, and Mrs Morrison for organizing the game! And of course, thank you to the amazing faculty and staff at JWB for providing our students a wonderful afternoon of laughter.
