South Jefferson celebrated Earth Day this week in grand style. Thanks to Ms. Horne, who was awarded a grant from PlanetBee, every student was given the materials to create seed balls (placing seeds and planting materials in clay). Many planted their flowers on the trail surrounding the school, while others chose to take them home for planting. Ms. Horne’s students planted grass seed on their own “plots of land” surrounding their new homes. Mrs. Moody taught our students about bees and pollination in the Library. Mrs. Fincham’s class had a visit from a duckling friend, after finishing their unit on animal life cycles. Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate our beautiful earth! 🌎 ☀️🪻🪴🐥 #EverydayIsEarthDay
Happy Administrative Professionals Day to the two who keep our school running smoothly, from finance to attendance, providing back up to the school Nurse, greeting our visitors and keeping ALL of us organized….we would be lost without you, Amy Chrisman and Kelli Fort!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 💜💛

When it comes to school spirit and someone who will go to any lengths to promote his cause, Mr. Atkins is pretty tough to beat. 😉
(Maybe we should have a Mime Day at SJES??? 🤔 It WAS awfully quiet in the front hall this morning! 😂)

Our Fine Arts’ event, showcasing our 2nd and 3rd graders, was a fun evening! Thank you for attending and sharing along with your children. They had a blast, showing off for you. Thank you to Mrs. Shearer and Mrs. Fiolek for all of the “behind the scenes” work that you put into this evening. 🎶🎼🎨🖼️
What a delightful (and delicious!) surprise from Girl Scout Troop #15053! These lovely students donated 80 boxes of Girl Scout cookies to our staff, to thank the staff for all of their support. Everyone, from our bus drivers, cooks, teachers and custodians, felt appreciated and grateful for this sweet gesture. Kindness wins every time! 🍪
We “rocked our socks” and celebrated our differences at South Jefferson today on World Down Syndrome Day. Thank you to the Cape family for providing ribbon stickers for every student and staff member to wear today! 💙💛🎗️
Celebrate World Down Syndrome Day on Thursday, March 21st!
Rock your socks on Thursday—-as colorful and patterned as possible—-to honor those with Down Syndrome and to celebrate inclusion, diversity, uniqueness and acceptance.
Author and illustrator, Brian Yanish, taught us about using materials we already have on hand, like plastic bags and toilet paper holders, to invent cool projects. These students took it to the next level in creating fun toys and creatures! Awesome!
What a wonderful day for South Jefferson! We had a visit with author/illustrator, Brian Yanish, who showcased his books, Shark and Bot, Junk Rethunk, Pirate Chicken and his newest release, Sweet and Sour. Our students learned about the process of creating and writing a story and bringing your book through the process of illustrating and publishing. Specials thanks to our SJES PTO, Rainbow Montessori School, Annie Young, Fuzzy Books and SJES librarian, Mrs. Moody, for making this visit possible. We had a blast!
These lovely girls received Positive Principal Referrals for helping out in a classroom without ever being asked! Mrs. Rouchard said that both Molly and Marian are both kind and helpful. I completely agree! Congratulations to both! 🎉
