Congratulations to our Jefferson Honor Roll students for the 2025-2026 school year!

Mr. Ulm started a fun new tradition at JES this year with our 6th grade students — a 1/2 mile race around the school with ultimate bragging rights on the line! Students gave it their all and brought plenty of excitement and energy to the event.

This year, Mr. Ulm took home the win and earned those bragging rights for another year! Thank you for creating such a fun memory and encouraging friendly competition with our students Mr. Ulm. What a great way to celebrate the end of the school year at JES! #JeffersonCUSD1

Mrs. Watson, thank you for your years of leadership, dedication, and unwavering support to JES. Your kindness, guidance, and commitment have made a lasting impact on our students and staff.

Wishing you a retirement filled with relaxation, joy, and all the happiness you deserve. Thank you for everything you have done for JES. You will be greatly missed!

Love,
The JES Crew

Our 6th grade students have been hard at work in art class painting their legacy rocks for the Jefferson rock garden! 🎨🪨 #JeffersonCUSD1❤️💛

5th grade art classes just completed a unit on sculpture and art museums. They looked at some famous artworks and picked 2 to recreate. They then built a sculpture in front of their artworks, creating an art museum corner. Pictured are the awesome artists. #JeffersonCUSD1
