🐾⭐ CONGRATULATIONS, K–2 WILDCAT LEADERS! ⭐🐾
September Leadership Roles
We are so excited to congratulate our K–2 students who have been selected for September Leadership Roles at MJE! ❤️💙
Throughout the month of September, these students will have the opportunity to lead, serve, help others, and make a positive difference at our school.
Our September leaders will learn how to perform their leadership jobs responsibly and proudly. At the end of the month, they will have one very important final responsibility:
⭐ Leaders Train Leaders! ⭐
Our September leaders will help train the students selected for October, showing them how to successfully carry out their new leadership roles. This allows our students to practice leadership, responsibility, teamwork, and helping others succeed.
We are so excited to continue growing our Leader in Me culture at McDavid-Jones Elementary and to give our youngest Wildcats meaningful opportunities to discover the leader within themselves.
❤️💙 We are proud of you, Wildcat Leaders! 💙❤️
🐾 Lead by Example.
🐾 Serve with Kindness.
🐾 Help Others Succeed.
🐾 Let Your Leadership SHINE!
⭐ Every Student. Every Day. Raising the Bar. ⭐
3-5 Leadership Announcement will be coming soon.

Parents/Guardians, here are our dress up days for homecoming, September 21st-25th. Let's have fun! Students must follow the dress code policy as stated in the pictures for each day. Students are to wear school uniform bottoms each day.
🍦🔬 Science has never tasted so sweet! 🔬🍦
Mrs. Fortner’s second graders teamed up with Mrs. Danzey’s first graders for a fun, hands-on science experiment — making ice cream in a bag! 🧊🥛🍨
Our second graders loved getting to help the first graders while everyone learned more about solids and liquids and watched science happen right before their eyes!
And let’s just say… those bags got SHAKEN! 😂 They shook and shook until they just about couldn’t shake anymore, but the smiles, laughs, teamwork, and excitement made every second worth it!
There’s nothing better than seeing our students learn together, help one another, and have SO much fun while doing it. ❤️
Hands-on learning + teamwork + ICE CREAM = the sweetest science lesson ever! 🍦✨

Ms. Owens’ 2nd grade class and Ms. Bullard’s 1st grade class teamed up for a fun, hands-on collaborative learning experience—Ice Cream in a Bag! 🍦❄️
Students explored how liquids can freeze and melt while turning science into a tasty treat! Ms. Owens’ 2nd graders did an AMAZING job stepping up as leaders and helping their 1st grade friends successfully complete the experiment. 💕👏
We loved watching our students learn, lead, collaborate, and have FUN with science! 🔬✨ And, of course, getting to eat the results made the experiment even sweeter! 😋🍦

Mrs Holland's math detectives were in the case. They solved place value problems to reveal clues that led to the culprit. #BeTheReason #MJEmathmeticians #MJEchampions
💦 Scientists at Work in Mrs. Boltz’s Class! 🔬
Today Mrs. Boltz's class experimented to see which materials absorb water the fastest! Students made predictions, tested different materials, and were so excited to see which predictions were right! They loved being scientists and learning through hands-on fun! 🧪💙 #BeTheReason

Our second graders in Mrs. Fortner’s class had a BLAST racing to the finish line with our Mini UNO Card Race! 🏁❤️💙
Students practiced counting and recognizing numbers while having so much fun cheering on their classmates along the way! I love when learning turns into laughter, excitement, and a little friendly competition! 🥰
UNO Math Race for the WIN! 🏆🎉 Learning is always more fun when we do it together!

These mathematicians in Mrs. Qualls class have been busy with math centers. They are using manipulatives to build, extend, and explore patterns! They were thinking, creating, and explaining what comes next—all while turning math into something they could see and touch. #BeTheReason #MJEchampions #RaiseTheBar
Parents/Guardians, We Need Your Help!
Regular attendance is essential to your child’s success! To help us meet our attendance goal this school year, we are asking each of YOU to make a commitment to ensure your student misses fewer than 17 days of school—whether excused or unexcused.
Every day matters, and every day counts!
The graphic below highlights McDavid-Jones Elementary School’s attendance goal: fewer than 17 days missed during the school year.
Together, we can help our students show up, learn, and succeed!

Raising the Bar in First Grade!
Ms. Thornton’s first graders took their very first AR test, and they are off to a fantastic start! Every Wildcat scored an 80% or 100%!
They’re well on their way to becoming AR Superstars! Keep Raising the Bar, Wildcats! 🐾📖⭐

🍦🧪 Science is SWEET in Mrs. Manske’s Class! 🔬✨
After studying matter and the different properties of matter, our scientists put their learning into action with a delicious experiment! Students were able to observe all three states of matter—solid, liquid, and gas—while making their very own ice cream! 🧊💧💨
We had so much fun watching science come to life and enjoying the sweet results of our hard work! ❤️ 😋🍦

Mrs. Gibbs' class finished up their week of learning about the letter L. We did an experiment to see if lemons sink or float and had a taste test of lemon cookies, lemonade, and a slice of lemon. #LearningLeading #MJEchampions #BeTheReason
Ms. Owens’ class has been having so much fun with Soft Start mornings, Reading Centers, and Math Centers! 📚✏️🧩
We love starting our mornings with hands-on learning and spending time working, learning, and growing together during centers! So much learning is happening in 2nd grade! ❤️✨ #MJEchampions #BeTheReason #LearningLeading

Congratulations on the following girls for making the YDL volleyball team. Please read the entire flyer for information about the first practice and mandatory parent meeting.
Kindergarten is excelling in building essential math skills every morning and developing into outstanding mathematicians! They are mastering number sense, engaging counting strategies, place value, tally marks, days of the week, months of the year, daily attendance through counting boys and girls present, and conquering an impressive milestone—recognizing coins! Fantastic work, Kindergarten! #MJEchampions #BeTheReason #LearningLeading #RaisingTheBar
Our little Wildcats in Mrs. Qualls second grade class had a Target-inspired day of 3-D shape fun! ❤️🎯🛒
Students went on a shape hunt, explored real-world 3-D objects, and practiced identifying and describing their attributes using their new vocabulary: faces, edges, and vertices! 🧵🌍🎲
