Thomas Jefferson School students in Mrs. Michael’s First Grade class recently participated in a “Me and My Family” art contest. Students were tasked with illustrating what their favorite thing to do with their family is. These included, when they’re having a picnic, at the bookstore, at the beach or at the mall. Afterwards, Mrs. Michael submitted their artwork to the contest and their artwork was chosen to be published! Each student got a certificate of excellence as well!

Thank you to the Union Hill Middle School for visiting our Jefferson School's Chess Club! Union Hill Middle School students joined Jefferson School students to share their ideas and strategies in chess. Chess leads to higher retention skills, problem solving, and calmness under pressure.
