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!

Good afternoon, Blue Jays! Happy Friday to you. A couple of items of note for you. The first is that the HS winter formal has been rescheduled to Saturday, February 7th, in hopes that more students will be able to attend. I apologize for any inconvenience due to the date change. Secondly, winter sports pictures will be on Tuesday, February 3rd, right after school. Coaches have the picture packets for athletes. Have a good weekend, Jewell!

Good afternoon Jewell Families!

If you don’t already have the Jewell School app, be sure to download it from the App Store or Google Play today.

Keep an eye out for more information in the coming weeks!

Jewell School District students had an incredible time at the Natural Resource Dinner! 🌲🔨🐟

We are incredibly proud of our construction and agriculture students for the hard work and dedication they put into their CTE coursework—not only for their own growth, but for the benefit of our communities as well. A huge thank you to all of the generous donors, and a special thanks to Clatsop Working Watersheds and Clatsop, Oregon Women in Timber for your continued support.

Events like this help strengthen leadership skills, encourage personal growth, and support future career success for our students. We are grateful to be part of a community that truly believes in our students and the future of natural resources, construction, and skilled trades.
