From the desk of Mrs. Wyman...
Dear Patriot Parents,
As we embark on the beginning of our Christmas Holiday Break, I am reminded of the many gifts you have been given at Jefferson. We have the gifts of...
- Amazing teachers and staff who work tirelessly to ensure your child is safe and learning.
- Wonderful students who come to school and try their best.
- Great parents who support our efforts to educate their child(ren).
One of the very special gifts at Jefferson is our secretary, Mrs. Grace Nessler. Mrs. Nessler has worked as the secretary of Jefferson School in the Morton School District for the past nine years. She is always willing to help, always has a smile, will go above and beyond - doing things without being asked, has an amazing lego collection that helps her build connections with students, and is sincerely kind to all she meets. Mrs. Nessler's time at Jefferson is coming to an end on Friday, January 14, as she has the distinct privilege of becoming a grandma for the first time. Mrs. Nessler plans to move out of state to be close to her new grandbaby and is very much looking forward to soaking up all the grandma snuggles. Though Mrs. Nessler will be sadly missed, we wish her the absolute best in her adventure as grandma!
In honor of Mrs. Nessler, we are planning a special day on Friday, January 14. More information will be sent home upon return from Christmas Break.
We wish you and your family the absolute best Christmas season! We look forward to welcoming our Patriots back to school, after a much deserved break, on Monday, January 10, 2022.
Sincerely, Mrs. Wyman
