Jefferson Elementary School

In celebration of our Spring Raffle, our top two ticket sellers got to pie some staff members in today's assembly! Jeremiah got to pie Mr. Pinter and Sailer got to pie Mrs. McConville!

Congrats to our top two ticket sellers and a big thank you to EVERYONE that sold tickets!

Today, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders had the opportunity to watch a mock trail for Law Day! They watched the trial of Snow White vs. The Evil Queen. A jury of students got to decide the verdict.
Thank you so much to Alexis Ferracuti and Travis Dunn for coming to participate in the Mock Trial!

April Lunch Menu

Huge shout out to the Shepherd students that came over to Jefferson for lunch and to sit with our March Champion of the Charter kiddos. Thanks so much!!!!

The 2nd Grade classes celebrated the International Day of Happiness with a special guest from a local organization called Believe in UGanda. Debbie Damron taught us about life and schooling in Uganda, Africa and the power of happiness. We learned that happiness can be achieved by helping others. Our 2nd Graders donated coins and hardcover books to help the people of rural Uganda. We will also be creating an alphabet poster to be used as a resource in an Ugandan classroom.

It's time for us to share our February 2026 Champions of the Charter! These students were selected for this honor because they went above and beyond to make their classroom a positive learning environment by doing the right thing, being a positive role model and for demonstrating emotional intelligence. Keep up the PAW-some work!!!
