Kindergarten students and family members carved pumpkins recently as part of an annual program here at the school. We would like to thank Believer’s Church for their help and generous donation that provided pumpkins and carving tools for all the students. The kindergarten students were able to take their pumpkins home at the end of the day.
5th grade students in Ms. McCracken’s class were visited by special guest Mayor Franklin recently. He read two books to the students and spent some time visiting with them. Ms. McCracken has invited Mayor Franklin several times now and he is always excited to come to Jefferson to spend time with the students.
Students at Jefferson were greeted their first day back for the 2019-2020 school year by men in the community with high-fives, smiles and words of encouragement. This event has been organized as a district wide event each year. Thank you to all the supporters that came out to make the first day back special for the students!
Students and families from Jefferson were treated to a back to school carnival a couple days before school started. Families enjoyed dinner, snow cones, popcorn, face painting, dancing, as well as outdoor activities such as a bounce house obstacle course and basketball. Thank you to all the students and families that came out to celebrate the beginning of another great year at the ‘J’!
Jefferson middle school students were invited to participate in the Mahoning Valley Innovations Conference on March 14th by Mr. Miles Jay. Students listened to a forum panel discussing issues within the communities and possible solutions. Students then led an activity at the conference, guiding the group through readings of various poems by poet Tupac Shakur. We would like to thank Mr. Jay for his invitation to the event and congratulate the students for their hard work and the positive role they played during the conference.
