🌟 Student Spotlight: Work Ethic in Action! 🌟
Big things come in small packages! Today we are celebrating one of our amazing 1st graders who is already living out the Graduate Profile Pledge by showing a strong Work Ethic.
Even at a young age, being a future graduate means more than just finishing a task—it’s about the heart you put into it. This week, we saw this student shine by:
Showing Grit: Facing a tough challenge with a "get it done" attitude.
Staying Persistent: Demonstrating perseverance even when the work got tricky.
Growing Every Day: Exhibiting a growth mindset and a commitment to learning.
Being Reliable: Showing up on time and being someone the whole class can count on.
We are so proud of our young learners for proving that you’re never too small to work hard and dream big!

Science in action with Mrs. Boggs’ class! 🌋✨
Our young learners in Mrs. Boggs’ class just wrapped up their CKLA landforms unit with a bang! To celebrate everything they’ve learned about the earth's surface, students conducted an exciting volcano experiment.
At RDES, we love providing hands-on opportunities that encourage students to explore their passions and become high-level thinkers. Watching these "scientists" discover the world around them is what the JCS experience is all about!

Caught in the act... of being KIND! ❤️📸
Last week’s Kindness Week was a beautiful reminder that we truly are a school family. Our students were busy meeting with buddy classes, partnering with the WJMS Sources of Strength program, and writing "Sunshine Slips" to brighten our staff's day.
Our teachers were also on the lookout! They loved "catching" students being helpful and respectful, awarding them "KindCam" slips to celebrate their positive impact. At JCS, we strive to treat everyone with kindness, dignity, and respect every single day.
We are so proud of the hard work and perseverance our students have shown this year as they explore their passions. Here’s to many more days of learning and growing together as a RDES family! ❤️
Strengthening our community through service! 💙

It’s community support like yours that helps our staff feel valued and supported as they empower our students every day.
How far can a whisper travel? 🤫💨
Our 4th graders in Mrs. Heister and Mrs. White’s classes became scientists this week to find out! Through hands-on experimentation with sound waves, these students are practicing the critical thinking and communication skills that are at the heart of our JCS Graduate Profile.
We love seeing our students embrace challenges and explore the "how" and "why" behind the world around them. Watching that "aha!" moment when the data matches the experiment is what the JCS experience is all about!
At Rosenwald-Dunbar, we believe success is achieved when we meet students where they are and show them what is possible through hard work and perseverance. These students are the drivers of their own stories, and they have truly lived out our Graduate Profile by being dedicated critical thinkers and teammates.

At JCS, we believe in providing age-appropriate opportunities for exploration that challenge our students to be high-level thinkers and life-long learners.
