🔥☕ Community Campfire Fridays are officially underway! ☕🔥

Mrs. Broderius’s 7th Grade Advisory had their Community Campfire on Friday! Students enjoyed some fun drinks, shared good stories, got to know one another a little better, and—of course—had plenty of laughs along the way!

It was a great way to slow down, connect, and continue building our Advisory community. We’re already looking forward to next Friday’s Community Campfire!

🎉🥳 Our Jefferson Staff would like to send a HUGE thank you to our Jefferson families! 💜🦅

We would like to send a huge shout-out to everyone who joined us for our first official Jefferson PTO-sponsored SOAR Night on Thursday, September 10!

Families gathered on the Jefferson front lawn to play games, blow bubbles, complete challenges, practice calming our bodies, and just have fun together. Even more importantly, we spent the evening building connections, strengthening our school community, and making memories together. 💜

SOAR Nights are based on the expectations at Jefferson that help our Eagles SOAR!

⭐ Self-Control ⭐ On-Task ⭐ Accountable ⭐ Respectful ⭐

Did you miss this one? Don’t worry! Our SOAR Night series will continue in November with another evening of learning, games, family fun, and connection.

Thank you to our Jefferson PTO, staff, and families for making our first SOAR Night such a special one. We are stronger together! 🦅💜
