🎷 Strike up the Band! 🎺
Today was the first combined rehearsal for the JAM Band ahead of the 2026 Cheese Days Parade. The JAM Band is made up of high school band students from Juda, Albany, and Monticello.
In our rehearsal today, we focused on preparing our music (Juda and Albany's School Song "Notre Dame Victory March" and Monticello's School Song "Illinois Loyalty"), learning visuals and our parade block formation, and marching while playing our instruments.
Thank you to Mr. Karolek and Albany Schools for hosting us today!

After listening to "Extra Yarn" by Mac Barnett, our 2nd graders tried "finger knitting." 🧶

Students observed what happened to the coffee beans as they were exposed to the same conditions and connected observations to their lives.
A little science, a little reflection, and a great conversation about making a positive difference! ☕️🔬💭


Our kindergarten mathematicians are learning that great thinkers don’t just find answers,they wonder, explore, and share their ideas!
