Have fun! Make new friends! Try new things! Community Ed classes are a great way to explore new interests and have fun learning outside of the classroom. Check out these super cool classes coming to Jefferson in October:

FIZZY FUN SLIME!

Jump into the Fizzy Fun and Slime Lab! Kids will create rainbow fizz, erupting ice cream cone volcanoes, water bead stress balls, and an array of ooey gooey slime creations. This hands-on class is packed with science, messy fun, and endless excitement! Presented by KidScientific.

SUGAR SKULLS

Let's delve into Mexican culture and celebrate the sweetness of life as we paint a ceramic skull in the style of Sugar Skulls! Students will learn about this bright and beautiful tradition and take home their own ceramic "sugar skull" to cherish for years to come.

Helpful information about many topics from attendance to school hours to parent drop off and pick up can be found in this handbook. These booklets will be distributed during open house.
