Congratulations to all the winners. For winning each class will get a popsicle party.
Great Job Jefferson!!!




Last Friday Mrs. Goldens class took a trip to the to the EIU Bowling Alley as an incentive. During their time at the bowling alley, the students learned to work together as a team but also how to compete respectfully with each other.











At the beginning of September, JES students participated in a fundraiser for our PTA. JES students are so wonderful and did their part that there was a Glow in the Dark incentive!! Friday September 20th was our " Day of Awesomeness". Here is a short video of all the fun! Thank you PTA!!!!

Mrs. Cline’s fifth grade math students worked on a challenge contest problem today to determine possible combinations for coloring circles with 3 different marker colors and each adjacent circle had to be a different color. #JeffersonCUSD1


On September 4th, Mrs. King's and Mrs. Golden's classrooms took a tour of the courthouse in Charleston. The classes had been learning about voting and being a leader. Judge Bower showed them around. He then spoke to the classes about running for office and about the courtroom. Mrs. Coe answered some questions about voting requirements. Thank you both! #JeffersonCUSD1
