Book Fair Nov. 15-19

The book fair will be open for shopping Nov. 15-19. Please put your child’s money in an envelope or baggie with their name on it to make shopping easier. We are also open during parent teacher conferences- stop in the library after your in-person conference to shop!

You can also take advantage of our e-wallet option (this allows you to load money electronically so your child does not need to bring cash to school). Sign up through our school’s scholastic website (link below).

Jefferson Hosts Trunk or Treat for Community

Jefferson, along with help from Second Baptist Church held a trunk or treat event at the school. Teachers and members of the church decorated their cars, passed out small pumpkins, gave out popcorn and passed out candy. It is estimated that over 1,500 members of the community came out to the event. Thank you to Pastor Todd and the members of Second Baptist Church for helping to make this such a wonderful success for our Jefferson students and families.
