When it comes to school spirit and someone who will go to any lengths to promote his cause, Mr. Atkins is pretty tough to beat. 😉
(Maybe we should have a Mime Day at SJES??? 🤔 It WAS awfully quiet in the front hall this morning! 😂)

Our Fine Arts’ event, showcasing our 2nd and 3rd graders, was a fun evening! Thank you for attending and sharing along with your children. They had a blast, showing off for you. Thank you to Mrs. Shearer and Mrs. Fiolek for all of the “behind the scenes” work that you put into this evening. 🎶🎼🎨🖼️
What a delightful (and delicious!) surprise from Girl Scout Troop #15053! These lovely students donated 80 boxes of Girl Scout cookies to our staff, to thank the staff for all of their support. Everyone, from our bus drivers, cooks, teachers and custodians, felt appreciated and grateful for this sweet gesture. Kindness wins every time! 🍪
We “rocked our socks” and celebrated our differences at South Jefferson today on World Down Syndrome Day. Thank you to the Cape family for providing ribbon stickers for every student and staff member to wear today! 💙💛🎗️
Celebrate World Down Syndrome Day on Thursday, March 21st!
Rock your socks on Thursday—-as colorful and patterned as possible—-to honor those with Down Syndrome and to celebrate inclusion, diversity, uniqueness and acceptance.
Author and illustrator, Brian Yanish, taught us about using materials we already have on hand, like plastic bags and toilet paper holders, to invent cool projects. These students took it to the next level in creating fun toys and creatures! Awesome!
What a wonderful day for South Jefferson! We had a visit with author/illustrator, Brian Yanish, who showcased his books, Shark and Bot, Junk Rethunk, Pirate Chicken and his newest release, Sweet and Sour. Our students learned about the process of creating and writing a story and bringing your book through the process of illustrating and publishing. Specials thanks to our SJES PTO, Rainbow Montessori School, Annie Young, Fuzzy Books and SJES librarian, Mrs. Moody, for making this visit possible. We had a blast!
These lovely girls received Positive Principal Referrals for helping out in a classroom without ever being asked! Mrs. Rouchard said that both Molly and Marian are both kind and helpful. I completely agree! Congratulations to both! 🎉
Congratulations to Jaxson Rice for his Positive Principal Referral! Jaxson cleaned up a spill for a friend and helped out when his friend needed it! What a great example for everyone at SJES. Well done!
What an active and engaging day of professional learning! Elementary art teachers participated in hands-on activities today as they continue to grow as professional educators. It was just one of several district-wide training opportunities JCS was proud to offer staff on this professional learning day as they continue to perfect their skills in our schools and classrooms. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to student success!
