Have a wonderful day!

Our Jefferson staff was treated to made-to-order bison burgers and other treats from Shawnanigan's Food Truck, made possible through donations from our encouraging neighbors at Winona Lake Grace Brethren Church.
We are so, so grateful, especially on this, our last day before Christmas Break. How we love the support of our Winona Lake community! THANK YOU!

The process may have been a bit unconventional, but the Jefferson Spelling Bee DID happen (through Google Meet), and victors have emerged! Congratulations to our winner, Aubrey Bricker (right) from Mr. McClintock's 5th grade class, and to runner-up Judah House (left) from Mrs. George's 5th grade class. Thanks goes out to Mrs. Long (6th, center) for once again coordinating and facilitating the Spelling Bee.

Did you know that you can support our school via the PTO with your Amazon purchases by choosing "Jefferson School Parent Teacher Organization" in AmazonSmile Charity Lists under Account & Lists — Your Lists? It's easy to do! Our PTO funds so many activities for our school. This is another way to help them give back. (AmazonSmile doesn't cost anything extra to participate.)
In case you missed the news, the Jefferson Spartans Girls Basketball Team won the City Championship on Monday. We are so proud of the team's accomplishments but are even more proud of their teamwork and great attitudes. Congratulations, players and coaches!
