Jesse Owens Elementary

Mrs. Kay’s class is in full Mardi Gras mode! 🎭 Can anyone guess where the king cake is from?

Today JOES 5th grade did a mixing substances investigation. 2 teaspoons of calcium chloride and 1 teaspoon of baking soda were put into a plastic bag then 10 ml of phenol red was added. Students shook the bag to mix the ingredients and the substance changed to texture, turned yellow, and became warm, giving off gases that inflated the bag.

Earlier today, Jesse Owens hosted their 2025-2026 National Junior Beta Induction Ceremony. Parents, teachers, and students were invited to see our new 4th and 5th grade Betas pledge to maintain their excellence in the classroom as well as in the community. Students were joined by Senior Beta officers from GHS to aid in the ceremony, and newly-elected officers were also sworn in to their posts. Congratulations to these amazing students on their accomplishment!
