This group of Juniors attended a College Fair at Bethany Lutheran College last week. They were able to visit with over 75 different colleges as well as enjoy a tour of the campus. GO Eagles!
🫧 Fourth Graders in STEM have been refreshing themselves on electrical circuits and using their knowledge to build a machine to blow bubbles! 🫧
They problem-solved through incomplete circuits to build the machine, and then used their newfound technology to blow some magnificent bubbles. The bubbles always make for some super fun pictures!

Dalluge's 3rd grade class had a blast during homecoming week, especially being able to cheer on and see their Apprentice Calli K.! 🦅

Tuesday at the Middle School for Homecoming Week was Match-Up Day! These 5th graders showed their homecoming spirit with their matching clothes!
🔥☕ 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! 🦅💜

For their first day of 5th grade, the Husky students had fun playing Getting to Know You BINGO!
🌼 🦌 Enjoy some flora and fauna near the Middle School. The trail camera is up in the school forest, with lots of action from a doe and 2 fawns! Our school garden has lots of eagle pride with purple potatoes, cleome, and zinnias.
🌻 Washington Learning Center's garden is blooming! 🌻 The sunflowers in particular are several feet tall!
The butterflies were flittering about the garden during the photoshoot, but were a little camera shy. 🦋

Nature is loving this heat wave . . . The watering volunteers at Jefferson - not so much!
Did you know you can help too? During this hot heat, our raised bed garden needs lots of water. You can use the watering cans and rain barrels of water to help keep them alive! Just pop down anytime and help keep our garden blooming!

Thanks to the ISD 88 Foundation and the donated labor of the MS STEM teacher's spouse😁, the fence around the Middle School Garden is complete. May the deer get the hint that they are not welcome. But, people are always welcome to check it out and pull a few weeds if possible! 🌱
🪴🌻 Summer is blooming for the pollinators in the Jefferson Garden! Monarchs are zooming around and the baby bunnies have sprung from their nest. Even Mama and Baby deer showed up for a grape snack. We let them know the good snacks were at the Middle School Garden so they headed that direction instead. 🦌🦋
