Veterans Day Program

Jefferson second and third grade students performed a concert in honor of Veterans Day. They were led by music teachers, Miss Mamich and Miss Ritcher. Our students did a wonderful job singing and reciting poems in honor of our Veterans.

Trunk or Treat

During the week of Halloween, Jefferson hosted its annual Trunk or Treat. Staff members, Second Baptist Church, as well as community members all contributed to making this event a huge success. Each year the turnout gets bigger and bigger! We would like to give a special thank you to Mrs. Vlahos-Hall for helping to organize the event.
