We miss our students already and can't wait to see you again in August. Make sure to mark your calendars for the 2025-2026 Open Houses. Parents, you can bring school supplies to the Open Houses so your students don't have to carry everything in on the first day of school. #BePurple
Our 2nd and 3rd graders had a blast in the bounce houses as part of our Year End Celebration!

We celebrated our last KINDNESS day today! It is always so joyful when celebrating our amazing students!
Yesterday, we celebrated two of our 2nd grade team members, Mrs. Kingham and Mrs. Sandee. These individuals pour love into our school and our students daily. We hope they "Toot their own horns" all week long!
2nd grade raised Painted Lady butterflies. Each class received 6 caterpillars, food, and a habitat. This was part of our life cycle unit in Amplify.
Students from Ms. Stone's class in 2nd grade enjoyed some time outdoors for "O" in our ABC Countdown. We had the perfect weather for reading outside!
Jefferson is so thankful to this wonderful group of volunteers for setting up this amazing "Special Friends Shop" just before Mother's Day. The kids LOVED choosing gifts for someone special at home. Thank you for providing this experience for our students!
So MANY positive office referrals this week! Go P.U.R.P.L.E.!
