Dear Jefferson Families,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our Jefferson families for the kindness and generosity you have shown our school community. Over the last couple of months, you have volunteered your time as mystery readers, at our Halloween carnival, PAC meetings, blood drive, and presenters on holiday traditions.
Because of your kindness and generosity during parent teacher conferences, we were able to purchase an additional $900 in books from the book fair sales. Teachers were able to purchase the remaining items from their wishlist for their classroom libraries and our speech and language pathologists were also able to purchase some books to help support language and literacy development.
At our blood drive last week, we surpassed our goal of 27 donors. In fact, we had 42 scheduled donors, 35 registered donors, and 31 first time Versiti donors. This event will potentially help 75 patients in need of blood. In addition, we collected 3 large boxes worth of toys that will be delivered to Lurie's Children Hospital on December 5th.
I am so very appreciative and honored to be part of this school community!
