Hello Jefferson Families!
We have been talking about the importance of good attendance at school. When your kids aren't here, they miss out, and we miss them! To maximize learning, it's important that kids be at school on time, every day, unless they are sick or have an emergency. We had a little competition to see which classes had the best overall attendance during the month of September, and the winners were Mrs. Short's 3rd grade and Mr. Engel's 5th grade! They got to have a super fun dance party with Jeffy as a reward! I can't wait to see who will get an attendance award for the month of November!
Order your winter Jefferson shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and hoodies HERE!
Next week we have two exciting opportunities for you families:
Veteran's Day assembly on Nov 11 at 7:55 AM (please invite your family members who are veterans!)
Family Fun Night on Nov 15 from 6-8 PM
- FREE games, popcorn, and cotton candy
- Balloon artist, magician, face painter (all free!!)
- $2 meal tickets available for Frito chili pie dinner (in the cafeteria)
- Amazing BINGO prizes! ($5 per game, or $35 for 8 games with presale)

- Ordering your tickets in advance will keep you from having to stand in a long line to buy BINGO cards, raffle tickets & meal tickets. Look for the order form that went home in Thursday folders!
