A HUGE thank you to our PTSO Booster team for their amazing work and to our students, families, and teachers for your support during our fundraiser! We surpassed our goal of $40,000 and Mr. Duvall will be on the roof on the evening of November 24! #oneandonlyjbe
We are pleased to announce District 7’s academic calendar for the 2026–2027 school year, which includes two new breaks – one in the fall and one midwinter – to help students and teachers recharge and maintain steady progress throughout the year. All Spartanburg County school districts collaborated to create this calendar with the aim of sustaining strong engagement, prioritizing student and staff well-being, and supporting student success. The calendar continues to include staff development days that allow for professional learning and collaboration among teachers and staff to strengthen instruction for students.

We are so proud of our Special Olympians who went bowling today! Congrats to students from Mrs. Helms', Mrs. Shaw's, Mrs. Little's, Ms. Johnson's, and Mrs. Neely's classes! (Mrs. Helms' class is repping their ribbons here.) #oneandonlyjbe
This week at JBE, an initiative that is now a decade old, Ladies Lunch and SUIT, began anew for the 25-26 school year. Ladies and gentlemen from grades 3-5 got to enjoy lunch together while learning about being ladies and gentlemen in today's world. We are proud to serve such solid citizens! #oneandonlyjbe
A big JBE "BRAVO" to our students whose artwork won prizes at the Piedmont Interstate Fair! We are so proud of them all and of all our artists at JBE! #oneandonlyjbe

A big JBE round of applause to Ms. Claire Louka, our Art teacher, for her award winning painting at the Piedmont Interstate Fair! One of our students, Stirling found the beautiful painting and is pictured here with it. #oneandonlyjbe
The JBE spirit was on full display today as sister Meryn and Isla donated almost $200 that they raised themselves to the family of one our students who is battling an illness. We are so proud of them as they demonstrated once again that it is not just the building that makes JBE special, it's the people. #oneandonlyjbe

Our third graders had a wonderful trip yesterday to Roper Mountain Science Center where they explored and learned more about environmental and earth science!
🎒💡 While our students are away… our teachers DON’T PLAY!
Last Friday may have been a day off for our students, but classrooms across D7 were still buzzing with energy and ideas! Our teachers spent the day diving into professional learning — sharpening their skills and exploring new strategies to make learning even more engaging and effective.
From creative new ideas for hands-on science activities 🧪, to learning how to teach stronger writing skills ✏️ , to using AI effectively in education 🤖 — our educators were all in! They also deepened their understanding of our instructional framework, explored helpful apps that support teaching, and strengthened their understanding of how to implement Multi-Tiered Systems of Support to help students struggling with academics or behavior. D7 also welcomed physical education teachers from other districts to learn new research-based curriculum to foster students' wellbeing and physical health.
Every session connected back to our mission "to inspire and equip students for lives of leadership and service". 💙💛 Because when teachers grow, students shine! ✨

Wonderful weather, amazing singing, and teddy bears all around! Our 4K Teddy Bear Picnic was a "roaring" success where our students were able to show what they have been learning in Movement and Music. Thanks to Mrs. Odom, Mrs. Moss, Ms. Anderson, Ms. Duncan, and Ms. Roche! #oneandonlyjbe
A huge thanks to the many hands that made The Greatest Fall Festival on Earth possible, and a huge hand to our families for the amazing turnout! #oneandonlyjbe
✨ Happy School Custodian Appreciation Day! ✨
Today, we celebrate the unsung heroes who keep our schools and offices clean, safe, and welcoming every single day — our incredible D7 custodians! Across the district, we are blessed with 65 custodians, field custodians, and building supervisors who take immense pride in their work. Their schools are their homes, and their colleagues and students are like family. They carry a huge responsibility — not only maintaining beautiful spaces, but ensuring healthy, safe environments for learning and working.
The word custodian comes from the Latin custos, meaning “guardian.” Every D7 custodian truly embodies that spirit — looking after our students, staff, and schools with pride and love. 💙 We’d be a mess without them — literally and figuratively!
At the District Office, we are especially grateful for Addie Wray and Taliaferro “Mr. T” Woodfork. They are the glue that holds our building together — cleaning up messes, solving maintenance challenges, and tackling endless tasks with care and dedication.
Please join us in celebrating and thanking all of our remarkable custodians today — and every day. It’s no secret that when they shine, #7Shines. 🌟
