Jefferson Elementary

Jefferson Families, You have far exceeded our fundraising expectations. As of today, our school has raised $6459. We have met our goal of $5000 which means students have earned a GLOW PARTY during PE. BUT, Mr. Heiser and I thought we would extend a new challenge to students. We set a new goal of $7000, we will add the Dunk Tank at our End-of-year picnic. For every $50 a student raises, they will receive a dunk-tank ticket, meaning they get a throw at the target to dunk Mr. Heiser, myself, or special guests. BUT wait, if we raise $9000, students will receive pie-tickets for every $50 raised. Meaning students will get a ticket to throw a pie in Mr. Heiser, myself or a special guest at an all -school assembly. WE CAN DO IT. Please register, send out those text and e-mails, take Finn's challenge. Thank you for supporting this great cause!

On Monday, January 8th, the Watertown School Board will hear a presentation on the plan for our elementary schools. This will be for discussion only with no action taken. The School Board meets in the administrative office at 5:30 PM. You can watch a live stream of the meeting at https://www.youtube.com/@watertownschooldistrict14-74.

There will be a PTO meeting at 12:00-1:00 in the Jefferson Conference room on 1/3/24. Also, we are looking for a night custodian from 3:15-7:00, M-F. If interested contact Mr. Decker, 605-882-6390.
