🎉 What an amazing 75th Anniversary Celebration at Jefferson Elementary!
From past students, teachers, staff, and principals to our current Jefferson community — generations came together to celebrate 75 years of memories, learning, and legacy. 💙
A heartfelt THANK YOU to all the alumni who traveled from near and far to be part of this special day. It was truly heartwarming to see everyone enjoying the carnival fun, reconnecting with old friends, and reminiscing about their time at Jefferson.
This unforgettable celebration wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of our PTSA and dedicated volunteers — we are so grateful for everything you did to make the day a success.
Here’s to 75 amazing years… and many more to come! 🏫

🌿 Exciting news from Jefferson Elementary! 🌟
Thanks to some incredible and generous donations, our students will soon be learning in a brand-new outdoor classroom! 🏫🌳
Today, our staff got a sneak peek and some inspiring ideas on how to bring learning to life outside the four walls of the classroom. From nature explorations to reading under the sky, the possibilities are endless!
We can’t wait to see our students thrive in this beautiful new space. 💚📚
