🎉 Celebrating Our Gifts at the Cory Greenwood Your Story Matters Assembly!
Hello everyone! We have some exciting news to share today! The students of JRSE had the incredible privilege of attending the Cory Greenwood Your Story Matters assembly. This event was all about celebrating our unique gifts and talents, empowering students to be their best selves, and spreading the message of embracing and celebrating the gifts of others as well!
✨ The assembly kicked off with live music from Mariah Faith and an energetic and inspiring speech by Cory Greenwood himself, a renowned motivational speaker.
His passion for empowering young minds was truly contagious!
🎤 From singing and dancing to incredible artistic talents, it was a true celebration of diversity and individuality!
🤝 Throughout the assembly, Cory Greenwood emphasized the importance of celebrating and embracing the gifts of others. It's not just about recognizing our own talents, but also supporting and appreciating the uniqueness in everyone around us. Truly empowering!
🎉 Today's assembly was a reminder that our stories matter, and that by embracing our gifts and celebrating others, we can create a more inclusive and supportive community. Let's continue to uplift and empower one another, both within our school and beyond!
Remember, YOUR story matters too! Let's celebrate each other's gifts and be our best selves together! 🌟

Mrs. Damrow, Ms. Breding, and Ms. Vias's homerooms got the chance to tour a local taco truck this past week. Students will be able to use what they learned to help design their own taco truck they will be making as a class math project. A BIG thanks to Mrs. Brambila, her family, and Tres Express for such a cool opportunity!





Ms. Vias’s science classes learned about sundials. They made their own and put them to use with our first sunshiny day this week! They continue to learn about shadows, stars, and sun brightness throughout this unit.





Our Fourth Graders have the special experience of attending and performing with the ISU Link-Up Symphony at the Stephens Performing Arts Center today.


🎗️Please remember to vote in the school district's renewal of the
supplemental levy TODAY.
There is a polling location change in Power County.
Due to a water line break at the Power County Fairgrounds where voters in Precinct 3 vote, officials had to move locations.
Precinct 3 voters now should go to the Power County Annex at 500 Pocatello Ave., American Falls, Idaho for the March 14, 2023 School District #381 Levy election.


Good luck to the JR Simplot Elementary IDX teams tomorrow at their competition! Thank you Mrs. Baker and Mrs. Sandoval for your commitment to STEM education and the students!!
