Miss Molly, Jefferson's soon-to-be-certified therapy dog, has been working on specialized training! We are so excited about the opportunity to have a therapy dog with us on our campus. She is working on continuing her training where she will be working, and we have loved getting to know her! She only visits the building for small amounts of time each week, but we cannot wait until she becomes a full-time staff member!
Last week, Mrs. Fondren's entire class enjoyed shopping at the book fair! Each student was able to spend $10 due to a generous donation to her class. The joy of the students was priceless! Thank you to our anonymous donor!
This week, third-grade students participated in a special CBPU program called the Monster Detective Collective that brought awareness to public power and career paths and taught the importance of making smart energy choices. Students were able to learn from our local utility heroes, explore the trucks, and touch the equipment. Students loved learning and exploring!
The attached link will take you to the Booster newsletter detailing the upcoming Fun Fair, raffle and silent auction.
The Silent Auction will consist of donations from surrounding businesses, as well as other donated items. Each teacher-team will receive a theme from the Boosters and anyone can donate to that themed basket.
The Boosters will have a meeting on Wednesday, October 16th at 5:00 in the Jefferson library to further discuss fundraising opportunities and Fun Fair details.

Good Afternoon, Jefferson Families,
This is a message regarding bus #8, the driver of which is Jess. We had to evacuate the bus this afternoon due to mechanical and smoke issues. Students were placed on bus 14 to continue their ride home safely. We appreciate the students exiting the bus quickly and listening for directions. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Again, this is only bus 8, and the driver is Jess.
Check out our Title One Video.

Here is a letter explaining tonight's events
Third graders got to experience the farm today at the Branch Area Career Center! What an amazing experience! We learned a lot, and got to pet some of the animals. We learned how bees are kept, what all sorts of farm animals eat, and we learned how to care for the animals.
This week we welcome Jill Hardway to Coldwater Community Schools as our new principal at Max Larsen Elementary School. Jill has extensive experience in the elementary classroom as well as administration. She will be in the building starting Thursday (Sept 19th).

We were all excited about our first popcorn day at Jefferson!
Jefferson Families,
We had our first fire drill this morning. Students did an amazing job following our safety plan and listening for instructions. Students practiced the county-wide expectations to pause, evaluate, and evacuate.
