We invite all students to join in the fun as we countdown to winter break. Each day has a unique theme that kids can choose to participate in. This is meant to be casual and low-stress. If they don't have something to wear one day- no problem. Tomorrow is another opportunity.

Join us for a night of family fun! Jefferson Elementary will have 2 hours of private ice time.

When: Monday, December 16th

Time: 5:45pm - 8:00pm

Where: Chiller Easton, 3600 Chiller Ln.

The cost is $8 per skater which includes ice time and skate rental

($4 if you are bringing your own skates).

Your child should have brought home an order form, or one is attached, which you can print out.

Cash and checks made out to Jefferson Elementary PTO are accepted.

*Your child WILL NOT bring home tickets. Upon arriving at the chiller, you will check in at the registration table to receive your ice passes.

For safety reasons, an adult must stay with students during the event.

ALL FORMS AND MONEY ARE DUE BY FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13th.

Questions? Contact Mrs. George at georgem@gjps.org

*Tickets can be purchased at the door by cash or check only. However, preordering

tickets gives your family a quicker check-in and a much shorter line!

The PTO has compiled a list of Jefferson Staff's favorite things. It is important to understand the teachers are not asking for gifts. We know that many parents might want to get their child's teacher a gift and this list is to help you select something the teacher would like. Please do not feel obligated to buy a gift for your child's teachers/staff members. A thoughtful note from you and/or your child at any time of the year is appreciated just as much or even more than any gift.

Join our Facebook Group and be part of the community. This group was created for Jefferson families and staff to support and celebrate our students and school. It's also a great place to ask questions of other parents and have support as you navigate the school year.

We are excited to see all the amazing and encouraging ways our families and staff connect with each other! This is a place for positive comments and a helpful resource for families. This is not the place to voice concerns. If you have an issue you would like to discuss, please get in touch with the staff member directly via email or call the school. This is a place to build on the sense of community within our Jefferson Family.
