Thanks to the generosity of Believers Church, every student in grades K-2 received gifts before Christmas break. The church purchased the gifts, wrapped them, organized them by grade and class, and then delivered them to students at the school. Their heartfelt generosity doesn’t go unnoticed at Jefferson.
Students in grades 3 through 5 enjoyed a fun afternoon for our annual Snowflake Ball at Jefferson. Students earned points during the month of December in order to attend. They could also use their points to purchase snacks and glow sticks. Fifth grade students wrote an essay and based on their submissions, a king and queen was chosen.
Grades K-5 hosted a holiday themed family event here at the ‘J’. Families enjoyed cookie decorating, games, writing letters to Santa, face painting, ornament crafts, as well as a visit from the Grinch.
Jefferson hosted its annual Thanksgiving lunch the day before break. Our cafeteria staff always goes above an beyond to cook a true Thanksgiving feast for students and staff. A special thanks to all the volunteers that came out to help serve lunch.

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.
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.
Several middle students from Jefferson traveled to YSU in order to participate in a mega math day. Students joined others from several other districts to participate in various math activities. Our students did a wonderful job representing the ‘J’.
