Julian Curtiss

Our JC Family Fun Night was truly a blast! Scholars enjoyed spending time with their friends, playing on the school playground, and eagerly waiting to see who would win one of the many exciting raffle prizes. We certainly had some very lucky winners!

Our school garden was an especially big hit as scholars participated in a scavenger hunt to find garden-related items. It was also wonderful to welcome back JC alumni who generously donated the garden to our school and joined us for this special evening.

Thank you to all of the parents who volunteered their time to operate the food table, raffle table, and school store. Your support helped make the evening such a joyful and memorable experience for our entire JC community!

Soaring like Eagles,

At Julian Curtiss, we believe that every Eagle deserves to feel safe, valued, respected, and that they belong. October is Bullying Prevention Month, giving us another opportunity to reinforce the kindness, inclusion, and care for others that we work to build throughout the year.

We will recognize two important days as a JC community:

💙Monday, October 5 – World Day of Bullying Prevention
Scholars and staff are encouraged to wear BLUE and #BlueUp as we stand together against bullying and cyberbullying and show our commitment to creating a safe and supportive school community.

🧡 Wednesday, October 21 – Unity Day
Our JC community is encouraged to wear ORANGE as a visible sign that we stand together for kindness, acceptance, inclusion, and belonging.

These days connect directly to the values we strive to live each day at JC, especially Be Safe, Care for Self and Others, and Let Go and Move On. Together, we will continue to make Julian Curtiss a place where every scholar knows they belong, every voice matters, and we take care of one another.

This October, as we celebrate UN Week at JC, our community is exploring UN Sustainable Development Goal #2: Zero Hunger through the lens of sustainable agriculture and community gardens. Our Book of the Month, Our School Garden by Rick Swann, illustrated by Christy Hale, invites readers to discover how a school garden can bring people together to grow, learn, share, and care for the world around them.

Across our specials, students will explore this theme in different ways- from creating art with recycled materials, to singing about the wonder of growing food, to getting outdoors and connecting movement with vegetables and gardening. These experiences will complement our library exploration and connect to our very own JC Community Garden.

Throughout the month, we'll consider our big question:

How do community gardens support sustainable agriculture and improve nutrition?

As we celebrate global connections during our UN Day Parade, we hope Our School Garden helps our scholars see that caring for our community, our food, and our planet are all connected, and that even something as small as planting a seed can help us grow a healthier, more sustainable world together. 🌎🌱
