These seven Jefferson students read all 20 Bluestem nominees and celebrated with a pizza luncheon in the library. They also received Amazon gift cards to choose a book of their own for summer reading. We’re so proud of this group for going above and beyond! #JeffersonCUSD1

A heartfelt thank you to Ashli for arranging the beautiful flower bouquets for our JES staff! 💐

Our staff gives so much of themselves each and every day to support, teach, and care for our students. It’s the little surprises like this that remind them how appreciated they truly are.

Your thoughtfulness helped brighten our building and bring smiles to so many faces. Thank you for helping us celebrate such an amazing group of people. We are so grateful! 🌸 #JeffersonCUSD1

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

Our GATE Showcase will be tonight in the CHS media center from 5:30pm - 7:00pm led by Mrs. Cline’s gifted classes. Students independently chose topics they were passionate about, conducted in-depth research, and created projects to showcase all they learned. Some even connected with field experts and conducted interviews, while others built detailed models to demonstrate their understanding. #JeffersonCUSD1

Mrs. Golden’s class has been learning about ways to protect our environment in science, and they put their knowledge into action! 🌎💚

Students took a walk along the bike path and helped clean up by picking up trash along the way. Way to go Mrs. Goldens class for making our community a better place! #JeffersonCUSD1

The 5th grade art classes studied the artist Brianna McCarthy for Black History Month. They created abstract portraits, using oil pastel to blend and create patterns. They mounted them on a scrapbook paper of their choosing. Pictured are the 5th grade awesome artists. #JeffersonCUSD1
