Oregon FFA State Convention was amazing! There were lots of giggles, good food, and new adventures. We had some long days, with sore feet, but the kids were always smiling at the end. Thank you to the students that stepped up to the challenge, to our volunteer Julie Cano for coming and shouldering so much support, Astoria's FFA Alumni and Supporters for paying for our Hotel Rooms!!, Tess and Charlie Hall from Astoria FFA for offering so much guidance and inspiration, and all the other humans helping to make this happen.

Jewell's Joules, our school’s renewable energy team, took home first place for their solar project! Their innovative solar tractor boat, captained by our very own 4-H replica chickens, Becky and Penny, did amazing, traveling 65 inches through the water before transitioning to land to cover 15 feet (the maximum distance allotted). Beyond the competition, the team enjoyed a day of hands-on learning, including a tour of the innovation lab, a wave energy workshop, a boat driving simulation, and even meeting with college-level renewable energy teams. Go Blue Jays!

Good morning, Jewell. Due to low numbers, we cannot host Clatskanie today at 4 for the scheduled MS GBX game. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Friday’s lesson was a hit—maybe too much of a hit! 😄 The 8th graders got really into the chocolate-dipped fruit, and while things got a little messy, it was such a fun day. Hands-on learning (and a little chocolate) definitely kept everyone engaged!


“This week, the 6th grade helped expand our pumpkin patch by laying down cardboard and bark chips for mulch. They got really into it… literally.”



Better late than never! Shoutout to our three high school students who participated in the public speaking event in Sherwood last week. Thanks for representing Jewell and for taking on a new challenge!

The 2026 winter formal has been a blast!
