Jefferson Elementary School

Our students are diving into the world of Lego Robotics, designing, building, and testing their creations to learn brand-new skills in coding, engineering, and problem-solving. 💡 From troubleshooting mechanical challenges to programming precise movements, they’re discovering that learning by doing is not only engaging—it’s exciting! #WarsawUnites

Plan ahead for a fun two weeks of Kindergarten Color Days! EVERYONE is welcome to participate, as we all can help reinforce the color of the day for our kinder-friends, wherever they are in the school.

#WarsawUnites

By doing so, eligible items will automatically be credited to our Jefferson account, meaning free cash for our school! Your voluntary participation is greatly appreciated!

While Field Day was far from "summer-y" this year, everyone seemed to have a great time. BIG thanks again goes out to Mrs. Monce for all of her planning, not only for this Field Day, but also for those over many previous years. It has always been a day full of smiles (and drenched children), and this year was no exception. 😁 ​ Special thanks to all parent volunteers, Winona Lake Grace Church for the use of their bounce houses and grilling skills, and to our Jefferson PTO for Kona Ice, which was a reward earned during last fall's Spartan Shuffle. #WarsawINSPIRES
