Throughout the year, we will be implementing the JBE Mood Meter as a way for students to help identify their emotion/what they are feeling. There are many studies that show the importance of being able to name how you are feeling. It is our goal to help our students find words to express how they are feeling and to enforce that it is ok to have whatever emotion they have, but also that we are still responsible for our actions and our words. If they mention they are feeling a certain color, this could be what they are communicating to you. Check out the image below. We will support this goal through modeling at morning assembly, throughout the day in class and in our counseling classes. If you have questions, please reach out.

We have partnered with USAgain to collect clothes and shoes. This company will pay us 2 cents for every pound collected and will plant a tree (somewhere, not on our property) for every full bin. The bins are located on the southwest corner of our building. We will start spreading the word to the community soon and hope it will help the earth and raise a bit of money for our donation account.
