While the skies may have been a little gloomy and the blacktop a little wet, Parents & Pastries still went off as planned and saw dozens of students with their grown-ups, enjoying donuts and time together before the start of the school day on Friday. Specials thanks goes to our amazing PTO, volunteers from Winona Lake Grace Church, and to Rise'n Roll. ​ #WarsawINSPIRES

Would you consider donating to help our Jefferson PTO provide grade-level grants, STEM resources, and teacher appreciation? If you're not connected to a current student, you can use this link: https://my.raisecraze.com/give/aqgxyaw/ Thank you! We appreciate our community!

Invite your friends! Monday is Jefferson Night at Arby's on Detroit Street/15.

Jefferson has cool stuff going on inside and OUTSIDE! We've mentioned our beehives, but did you know that we also have a vegetable garden?! Mr. McClintock (retired) continues to tend to our garden, along with the help of 5th grade. The crop of the day was potatoes. As you can see, it was a plentiful harvest! ​ #WarsawINSPIRES

We have begun our one and only fundraiser for the year! Maybe you no longer have a student at Jefferson but still feel a connection. Or maybe you're a community member who wants to show tangible support. During our fundraiser, we’ll be paying your generosity forward by completing Acts of Kindness for others. If you are interested in donating to help with grade-level grants, STEM resources, and teacher appreciation, here is the link for you! https://my.raisecraze.com/give/aqgxyaw/ Thank you for loving on Jefferson in this way. #WarsawINSPIRES

Parents & Pastries is this Friday from 8:00am–8:45am. Please park at Winona Lake Grace Church across the street. #WarsawINSPIRES
