Our JES Career Day was a HUGE success, and it wouldn’t have been possible without our incredible volunteers from all across the community who took the time to come in and share what they do!
Our students truly enjoyed learning from each of you, asking questions, and getting a closer look at so many different careers. Experiences like this help open doors, spark curiosity, and inspire our students as they think about their future goals.
We are so thankful for your time, kindness, and willingness to invest in our students! #JeffersonCUSD1

Our JES 6th grade students and staff gathered for a heartfelt and memorable moment as we revealed a special rock dedicated to Blaize Switzer. 💙
The rock stands as a symbol of love, remembrance, and the lasting impact Blaize had on our school community. Though he is no longer with us, his spirit continues to live on in the kindness, friendships, and memories shared by those who knew him. #JeffersonCUSD1
