We’re kicking off the month with our first FOJ General Meeting of the year on Wednesday, September 2, from 5:30 - 7pm in the Jefferson Library or virtually. Come hear what FOJ is working on for our school and learn how to get involved. Slides and agenda, childcare will be available.

If you missed the first Family Friday, be sure to check out Principal Morga’s Family Friday presentation for a helpful introduction to Jefferson. Learn how our school works, what makes it special, and what families can expect throughout the year.

We hope to see you Wednesday at the FOJ meeting!

📸 August roundup

What a fun and busy start to the school year! Here are a few highlights from activities that FOJ made possible.

💡 Did you know?

At Jefferson, International Baccalaureate (IB) and STEAM are tightly integrated into everything students do, from classroom projects to Pawsitive Panthers.

FOJ helps fund the people and resources that make this kind of integrated learning possible across classrooms and grade levels. Events like STEAM Night on Sept 16 take it one step further, giving students a chance to meet people who use those same skills in the real world.
