Our 2nd graders have wrapped up their CKLA unit on Bugs, and what a learning journey it’s been! Students explored how bugs play a huge role in our ecosystem while also strengthening important reading and comprehension skills along the way. Great job to our young learners for their curiosity, hard work, and perseverance!

Way to go, Jefferson! 🎉
Our students showed incredible generosity and perseverance by raising the most canned goods for the CHS/CMS IJAG Canned Food Drive. Their teamwork and kindness will make a real difference for others in our community. We are so proud of our Jefferson students for stepping up and giving back in such a big way!

🌈 TIE-DYE DAY! 🌈
Today is Tie-Dye Day! Wear your favorite tie-dye, bring $1, and help support your yearbook!
Think about something you are good at — maybe packing your lunch, drawing pictures, or helping a younger sibling. You weren’t born with those skills — you learned them through practice and perseverance. Now think about something new you’d like to learn! You’re just a bit of practice and perseverance away from getting great at something new — give it a try!
🚶♂️ Tomorrow morning (7:15–7:35): Walking Club in the gym & LEGO Club (1st & 2nd grade) in the LRC!
🍩 Donuts with Grown-Ups sign-up deadline is tomorrow! 👉 https://forms.gle/wjD1qMBWJvPm5Zsp7
