Teachers spent Wednesday afternoon listening to Mr. Kruse, the Watertown School District's current technology Director and former Intermediate School Principal, share information and application of the Boys Town Model.  Teachers also used the time to develop norms and commitments for our Professional Learning Teams. Teachers met to analyze writing, phonics, math and other areas of the curriculum.  We thank you for allowing them work time during the busy week!

Mrs. Stemwedel's class got a grant from our wonderful PTO for some engaging activities!

It's National Lunch Week! Jefferson's Lunch Staff geared up for a fun week! Thank you for preparing and serving lunch to our students!

Miss South Dakota Teen, Evian Johnson, came to read to Mrs. Nelson's 2nd grade class today and teach them about dyslexia! 💙 She shared her own experiences with dyslexia, the challenges she faced with reading, and how she overcame those struggles. What an amazing opportunity for students to learn that everyone’s journey is different and that with perseverance, you can overcome challenges! ✨

Retakes are tomorrow at Jefferson!
