Happy National Custodial Workers Recognition Day! Our Jefferson Custodial Team is expertly led by "Mr. J.R." Utter.
While we may not see them all the time, they work hard behind the scenes to keep our school in tip-top shape. Thank you, Mr. J.R., Aurelia, Jaime, Margarita, Caleb, and others who jump in to help, as needed.

We have 19 days left in our Raise Craze fundraiser. If you are a community friend or former Spartan (or Trojan!), would you consider supporting our school's goals to help with grade-level grants, STEM resources, and teacher appreciation? Every little bit adds up to do great things!

The rain held off long enough the other day for our September Citizens of the Month to get in a little fishing down at the canal in Winona Lake.

Head to Arby's on 15/Detroit Street after our home Volleyball and Soccer games tonight (9/9/24) to pick up a quick dinner or treat, because 20% of your purchase between 5pm and 8pm will benefit Jefferson.
While the skies may have been a little gloomy and the blacktop a little wet, Parents & Pastries still went off as planned and saw dozens of students with their grown-ups, enjoying donuts and time together before the start of the school day on Friday.
Specials thanks goes to our amazing PTO, volunteers from Winona Lake Grace Church, and to Rise'n Roll.

Jefferson has cool stuff going on inside and OUTSIDE! We've mentioned our beehives, but did you know that we also have a vegetable garden?! Mr. McClintock (retired) continues to tend to our garden, along with the help of 5th grade.
The crop of the day was potatoes. As you can see, it was a plentiful harvest!

We have begun our one and only fundraiser for the year! Maybe you no longer have a student at Jefferson but still feel a connection.

If you are interested in donating to help with grade-level grants, STEM resources, and teacher appreciation, here is the link for you!

Family Groups are a big part of school life at Jefferson. Students get to know, have fun with, and learn to problem-solve with other Spartans across all grade levels. These Family Groups stay together for various activities throughout the entire school year.
Last week we had our first Family Group gathering of the new school year. Activities revolved around learning names, getting to know one another, and working together on several fun challenges that helped build unity. Our new 6th graders were the leaders, and they did a fantastic job, despite some initial nervousness!
Here's to another terrific year of Jefferson Family Groups!

Thank you, thank you to Dunkin Donuts for the epic Spartan donuts this morning! Dunkin is partnering with Jefferson this year to provide donuts to Citizens of the Month and brought these school-colored "works of art" over for staff to enjoy.
We live in a great community! Thanks, Dunkin!
