Middle School Service Project

Jefferson middle school students completed a service project that included ‘beautifying’ their hallway. This was a student-led project in which they decided on the theme they wanted to represent their class and what decorations to use in the hallways.

After a vote, the sixth grade team was the winner of the beautification project. They will win an ice cream sundae bar. Judges included students, teachers, and a principal.

Snowflake Ball

Students in grades 3-5 were treated to a Snowflake Ball here at Jefferson. Students earned points during the month of December by completing their work, making good choices and having good attendance. Students were then able to use their points to purchase treats during the dance.

We would also like to congratulate the 5th grade king and queen Faith and Jaymen.
