Thank you to our amazing parents for the thoughtful floats and ice cream sundae treats for our staff yesterday! Your kindness and generosity meant so much to all of us.
We truly loved the desserts and enjoyed taking a moment together to celebrate and feel appreciated. This brightened our day and reminded us how fortunate we are to be part of such a supportive school community.
Thank you again for thinking of us and for all you do to support our staff and students throughout the year!
With only a couple of school days left, please take a few minutes to review and complete! Have a great Summer!
It's been a great school year of reading, but why stop there? Sign up for a summer of reading fun at the Jefferson Public Library!
Embark on a journey to the past of Jurassic proportions with "Unearth a Story", the Jefferson Public Library 2026 Youth Summer Reading Shin-Dig!
"Shin-dig"? Yes, you read that right. They're changing things up this year. Kids and teens who sign up receive a "field journal" and a sticker...then continue to receive small prizes throughout the summer for every 140 minutes that they log! The more you read, the closer you get to their grand prize drawings.
Even better, summer programs are now open to the public! Enjoy "excavation digs", visits from Blank Park Zoo and the Science Center of Iowa, after-hours movie nights, and more planned this summer.
