South Jefferson Elementary School

We had two special Positive Office Referrals to celebrate this week! Congratulations to fifth grader, Audrey Mawyer, and fourth grader, Joseph Reimer, for their nominations. Audrey was nominated for returning money that she found and Joseph was nominated for noticing that all of the recess balls needed air and he took them to Mr. Atkins to help. Both showed kindness, honesty and respect! Well done!

Book Character Parade!

Today is CAREER DAY!! Can’t wait to see what our Roadrunners aspire to be when they grow up. Thank you to our volunteers who will be sharing their careers with us today and a huge shout out to Mrs. Fletcher and Mrs. Siddoway for organizing and planning this entire event!

Read Across America Week continued at South Jefferson with our “Reading is Positive” Day! Students wore shirts with positive messages and celebrated reading in their classrooms!

These two young ladies received Positive Office Referrals for their participation in our annual Talent Show. Betheny pushed through her fears of performing in front of an audience and Gracelynn stood by her friend, sharing positive support and holding her hand through the performance. We are proud of both of them for demonstrating friendship, respect and courage for everyone to see! Awesome!

We kicked off Read Across America Week at South Jefferson with a snuggly pajama day, reading to our stuffies and a visit from Washington High School Key Club members! We are so grateful to the Key Club students for reading to our classes!

JCS Families: JCS will operate on a 2-hour delay on Tuesday, March 3, due to weather.

It is time to celebrate first grader, Hannah Shifflett, who was nominated for a Positive Office Referral this week. Hannah saw a kindergarten student struggle with her breakfast in the hallway and she ended up dropping the breakfast. Hannah sprang into action and helped her gather up everything and saved the day! What a kind and respectful gesture and such a good example for everyone else! Proud of you, Hannah! 🥳

Get ready for Read Across America week from March 2 - 6th! We are so excited to celebrate reading at SJES with our annual book character parade, our Career Fair and fun experiences involving guest readers and sharing reading throughout the school. Schedules for the week are coming home with our students today!

How lucky are we, to celebrate THREE Positive Office Referrals today?! Congratulations to kindergartener, Treazure Hairston, second grader, Miles Siddoway, and fifth grader, Corbin Brooks! Treazure jumped in to help other students during a busy dismissal. Miles is a model citizen in class, showing kindness and responsibility every day. Corbin used his own money to buy something for a friend from the school store. All three of these awesome students deserve this recognition—-they are extraordinary examples for all of us at SJES. 💜💛 Ms. Mahoney

Thanks to our Jefferson county WVU Extension Service for bringing a fun lessons to our Kindergartners. This visit taught the students the best times to wash hands with the proper technique. They used a fluorescent lotion and a UVA lamp to check their work. 👀 Way to wash those germs away!

Love was in the air at South Jefferson…from sharing valentines with one another, to gathering almost 2,500 items for Community Ministries, to a 4th grade poetry slam, to engaging in STEAM lessons, to special animal visitors, to SJES library donations from our community, to tea parties and treats….love was DEFINITELY in the air.

JCS Families: JCS will dismiss 3 hours early today, Friday, February 6, due to impending winter weather.

Today, in honor of Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Week and to support the Tiong family, the South Jefferson Elementary staff is TEAM BRYCE. ❤️
