It is a wonderful experience for everybody and a great way to get to know each other at the beginning of the school year. It is a fabulous time for students to display to families what they have been doing at school. It is another opportunity for the families to become involved with the staff at Jefferson. November we have a friendship feast when we invite a significant adult to join their children for lunch. Each grade level plans a special lunch with activities for the child and adult.
Themes vary from year to year, but it is always a special time for students and parents.
Many different activities keep everyone entertained. The gym is decorated with art work from every student in the school. The PTA plans our fun night and the art teacher, along with staff and parents, transform our gymnasium into an art gallery. Finally, the students in grades 3-5, show their scientific skills in a science fair. Projects are judged and students are awarded for 'best project'.
