Fourth Grade Landform Project

Students in fourth grade learned about landforms recently in their social studies class. As a final activity, students created a landform of their choice. Students were then able to observe their classmate’s projects and write down their findings.

Snowflake Ball

Students in grades 3-5 were rewarded with a snowflake ball here at Jefferson before the winter break. Students earned points throughout the month of December by having great behavior, completing work, and attending school. Students not only got to attend the ball where they could dress up but they also got to use their points to choose treats to take with them afterwards. Fifth graders also crowned a king and queen of the snowflake ball based on winning a writing contest.

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.
