Administration

Dear Jefferson Families,

As we look ahead to the final weeks of school, I can’t help but look back over the last eight months and smile at all that our students, teachers, staff and families have accomplished together. Winners at all levels of the PTA Reflections competition, hundreds of acts of kindness, the growth of our PBIS program, expanded reading resources, food pantry donations in the thousands, the addition of Archie the therapy dog to our school family, and countless other academic/personal goals reached by our students, families, and faculty. I especially wish to thank this year’s PTA board members and chair-people: President- Laura Havenstrite,  Vice President and Reflections Chairperson - Kim Sanderson, Second Vice President Kristin Pellis, Secretary - Colette Rutkowski, Treasurer - Laura Vonderhey, and Kids Go Shopping Chairperson- Sarah Arcurie.  Each of these parents have given countless hours to ensure that the traditions and programs we have come to know and love at Jefferson have remained vibrant and successful this school year. 

Jefferson Elementary is the area’s top elementary school because we all take such pride in our school and our relationships with one another.  As principal, I thank all of you for the many ways, big and small, that you have enriched the lives of our students this school year.  Whether you have volunteered time, sent in needed items, checked homework folders each night, supported our concerts and family nights, donated toward the Musical Playground, coached teams, or led organizations, you have helped to make our school life richer. We couldn’t do what we do without you!

Your partner in education,
