Due to a high probability of rain, we are moving Field Day from tomorrow (Tuesday) to Wednesday, May 25th.
To our Kindergarten Families:
In twenty-five years at South Jefferson, we have never had to do this, but we are going to reschedule our Kindergarten Program scheduled for this evening (Monday, May 23rd). We currently have 22 kindergarten students absent today, with a couple more leaving early, due to illness. We cannot, in good faith, push these little ones to participate in this special event, feeling sick or possibly infecting others.
I apologize for the inconvenience, but I must do what is right for ALL of the kindergarten class and their families. We are rescheduling our event for Wednesday, May 25th, at 6:00 p.m. in the hopes that everyone will feel better and have time to get well. IF your child is not feeling well, PLEASE do not send them to school. Give them the extra time to be 100% so that we can all enjoy this memorable occasion.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at kmahoney@k12.wv.us. I am looking forward to seeing ALL of those sweet faces on Wednesday evening.
Sincerely,
Ms. Mahoney
Principal

The rain will not stop us from having an awesome Friday! Washington High School Vo-Ag students, under the direction of Mrs. Katlin Grantham, visited us today to teach us about their animals and farming in America. We loved it! Thank you!!!
Thank you, Allison Dodson, Miss Jefferson County Teen USA (and former SJES Roadrunner) for visiting with us and reading stories about kindness, being true to yourself and liking yourself, just as you are! We had a wonderful time with you.
Ms. Horne’s kindergarten class celebrated “L is for Lunch (Outside)”today. A perfect day for it! ♥️
Thank you to the Charles Town Middle School Builders who came to SJES to talk with our 5th graders about next year in middle school. What an awesome group of students! Thank you for your time, your energy and your support of our students!
Making Earth Day bird feeders for our feathered friends at South Jefferson! 🌍 💜
Thank you to Wildlife Ambassadors for visiting our K-2 students today! We met Charlotte (tarantula), Mowgli (parrot), Milo (lizard), Kodak (ball python) and Cotton (skunk), learning all about their habitats and food sources. Special thanks to Mrs. Shores, who brought her friends to teach us more about animals. We had an awesome time!
Thank you to everyone that supported our Fun Run at South Jefferson! Our students really put their hearts and energy into having fun and running for a good cause! I’m happy to report that our students ran 3,616 laps as a school and raised over $3,400 for Relay for Life. What an accomplishment! Super proud of our students and grateful to our community. (Freeze Pops after the run helped to cool our athletes down!) 😉
