Jefferson Elementary School students recently had a fun lesson where they had to use skills such as math, reading, and following directions in order to successfully make a cake. This is a great way to incorporate these skills with hands-on learning!

In honor of National School Nurse Day, we want to thank all of our school nurses for the care that they give to our students. Our nurses fix scrapes, make sure medications are given at the correct time, and reassure students when they aren't well. These clinics are one of the busiest places in the school and they are always kind and compassionate. Thank you!!!!!
Art class is in full swing at Northridge Middle School!
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Our teachers are a positive influence in the lives of our students, work long hours creating lessons and providing feedback for growth, and bring energy to their classrooms every day. In many ways their work with students boils down to the thoughts in this poem:
Special Teacher
What you taught me
in just a few minutes a day
will help me
for my lifetime.
Thank you.
Thank you to our teachers for your work to change lives!
Please consider attending this event and supporting our students!

Peyton Martin was honored at the last board meeting during the Middlebury Moment.
Peyton was nominated by Principal Brickner and teacher Cameron Baber. Peyton started at Jefferson in Kindergarten with challenges related to academics, behavior, and a variety of medical concerns. He has worked incredibly hard to overcome those obstacles and has decided that nothing can stop him from being successful. Peyton has become a student who is a leader at Jefferson Elementary, and he advocates for a school environment where students treat each other the right way.
Way to go Payton! We are so proud of you, and we know you will continue to do great things.
