Message from Mr. Lint
Hello Jefferson Families,
It was great seeing our building filled with so many families on Tuesday. I hope you enjoyed your time with your child's teacher and came away with the information needed to help your child have a successful 23-24 school year.

We-Wednesday for September 27th
The We-Wednesday theme for September 27th is to wear your favorite team jersey, to show your teamwork!
Each Wednesday as part of our Positivity Project program, we wear/do something as a school that connects to the character trait of the week.
P2 Message (Positivity Project)
The week of September 25th, Jefferson Elementary will focus on the character strength of Teamwork. Teamwork means you work well as a member of a group or team. You are loyal, reliable, and dedicated to helping your team achieve its goals.
Teamwork is the ability and willingness to place overall group success as a higher priority than individual achievement. Those who demonstrate strengths in teamwork often work to help all group members find success. These individuals are willing to commit time and resources in order to further group goals and help toward the greater good.
For individuals, teamwork often means deferring or delaying individual accomplishments in order to ensure that the group maintains a high level of success. Their commitment to the larger group effort makes them good teammates. The positive feelings associated with being part of a larger whole -- can be highly beneficial and combat selfishness and egotism.
To practice and encourage the character strength of teamwork with your child, please visit the Positivity Project’s P2 for Families (password: P2), where together you will watch a video, read a quote, and talk about the answers to three questions.
