This year we are offering supply kits through edukits for the families to purchase if they don't want to do their own school supply shopping. The kits are delivered directly to the school and will be available for pick up at open house.

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.!
Celebrating these KIND kiddos was so much fun today!! Certificates, donuts, medals, and smiles... it was a great time!!
