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! 🎉
Congratulations to Jaxson Rice for his Positive Principal Referral! Jaxson cleaned up a spill for a friend and helped out when his friend needed it! What a great example for everyone at SJES. Well done!
What an active and engaging day of professional learning! Elementary art teachers participated in hands-on activities today as they continue to grow as professional educators. It was just one of several district-wide training opportunities JCS was proud to offer staff on this professional learning day as they continue to perfect their skills in our schools and classrooms. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to student success!

Thank you to the Andrews family for sharing their adorable two week old baby lamb, “Fluffanutter” with South Jefferson. This sweetie visited Miss Jackson’s Head Start class and Mrs. Fincham’s 2nd grade class. What a special visitor!
Mrs. Mangum’s 3rd grade class completed a Mystery Science lesson on push vs pull to learn about Force. They took on the bridge challenge where the students constructed a paper bridge and stacked as many pennies as they could on the structure before it collapsed. Some teams were able to stack over 100 pennies on their “bridges”!!!
Science in action and fun at the same time!
As a reminder, there is no school for students tomorrow, Friday, March 8, 2024. This is a professional development day for staff.

We capped off Read Across America Week with our annual SJES Book Character Parade and a visit from the WHS Key Club, who spent time in our classrooms, reading aloud to our students. Just to give you a perspective on the parade—-all students march through the halls twice, so that everyone can see costumes and book suggestions. Students who don’t have a book are given the chance to select from a classroom library or from our SJES library so that everyone can participate. Special thanks to our staff who tried to snap as many photos as possible during the parade, which is not an easy feat, with everyone on the move. Also, thank you to the WHS Key Club and our Special Events Committee for helping to create a memorable week! Many fun memories! 📚📖
