❄️ Wreath Fundraiser
Did someone say Happy Holiday's already?!
This will be the third year that we are fundraising with a beautiful 24" wreath dressed in decorative pine cones and a luscious red velvet bow. These wreaths come from Whitetail Woodlands in Wisconsin Rapids and we will be the only organization in Stevens Point selling this top quality product!
The proceeds will help us continue to grow our beautiful new outdoor space. Sales start on September 20, and will run through October 11. The pick-up date is in November, just in time for all of your holiday parties! Place your orders now with any student, staff member, or feel free to call the main office at (715) 354-5418.
**Checks can be made out to 'Jefferson Elementary'**
🎻 5/6 Orchestra
Beginning in 5th Grade, students have the opportunity to learn how to play a string instrument! The 6th Grade students who were in orchestra last year or who missed out last year are strongly encouraged to continue or give Orchestra a try.
Orchestra consists of four string instruments: Violin, Viola, Cello, and Bass. You do not need to be a certain size to play ANY of these instruments. Orchestra instruments come in different sizes for different students and we can accommodate everyone. The most important thing is to choose an instrument you really like the sound of and really want to learn!
Please take the time to go through this packet and discuss what you saw at the orchestra presentation to make a good choice as to which instrument you’d like to play.
