Thank you to our Music Educator, Mrs. Shearer, for creating a holiday chorus concert for our 4th/5th grade families. Our students have so much talent and she helps them to discover those talents each year!
All of our 4th grade students “made” sleds as part of “Grinch Day”. Students worked in teams to shop for materials, design, test, and improve the design of their sleds. There was a contest to see which “Who’s” sled in each class could get to the top of Mt. Krumpet with the most “presents”. After the final run, the students examined the sleds, discussed the positives of each design and decided how they would change/modify their sleds if they made them again. Discovery, science, math, investigations and fun all rolled into one!

Mrs. Burwells fourth grade class had fun, designing and creating their own gnome ornaments.
All things Christmas tree in Mrs. Fox's Kindergarten class---partners had to work together using all of the materials in their bucket to construct a Christmas tree with a trunk and star. 🎄
Flannel days are fun days at South Jefferson!
“In the eyes of children we find the joy of Christmas; in their hearts we find the meaning.”
What a whirlwind week we had at South Jefferson Elementary! From gingerbread decorating in kindergarten and first grade to our 4th/5th grade chorus concert to making snowmen in fifth grade, our students had a memorable time before our winter break. Thank you to our amazing staff and community for helping these memories happen! We hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday with your families.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
