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.

Elementary and middle school students lined the hallways to cheer on the seniors as they made their way through the buildings one last time as Greene County students.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026!
The power to the high school has been restored since about 9:15am this morning. The issue stemmed from a weather-related issue last night when lightning struck a light pole in the north parking lot and surged through the Career Academy, commons area, and kitchen. This particular breaker also contained the air handler unit for the west side of the building.
In these situations, timing was of the essence and it made more sense for us to cancel the day rather than "wait and see" whether the issue could be resolved in a timely manner for students to attend classes.
Regularly scheduled classes will resume tomorrow, Tuesday, May 19th.
I greatly appreciate the response and communication from our high school building staff, Mrs. Shannon, and Mr. Snowgren to this issue.
Have a great day!
Due to a partial power outage at the High School, there will be a 2 hour late start for the High School ONLY. All staff will report as normal. Bus routes will continue to run as usual. Students riding the bus will be monitored on site. Information will be provided within the next 2 hours.
Thank you,
GCCSD
