Upcoming School Closure Dates
There will be no school Monday, January 21 in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Additionally, there will be no school for high school students on January 30. There will be no school for all grades January 31 and February 1. These days were reserved for possible weather make up days. Because we have not had any weather closures, these make up days will not be used and there will be no school.
No habrá clases el lunes 21 de enero en honor al día que celebra al Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Adicional a éste día, no habrá clases para estudiantes de preparatoria (High School) el 30 de enero. Por otra parte, no habrá clases en todos los niveles ( primaria, secundaria y preparatoria) los días 31 de enero y 1ero de febrero, debido a que éstos días se reservaron para la posibilidad de recuperar días perdidos por mal clima. Ya que no ha habido cierres de escuelas por éste motivo, éstos días no se utilizarán y no habrá clases.

Jefferson Jog-A-Thon 2019 - February 12 and 13
Would your student like to see Mrs. Harder in a tutu? Or Mr. Phillips? How about all the teachers in tutus? Our annual Jog-a-thon is coming in just a few short weeks, and we have some new, fun incentives for our classes this year, including tutus, extra recess, and a special lunch with Mrs. Harder!
The Jog-a-thon is the biggest annual fundraiser for our school, but more importantly, one that the students feel a pride in creating. The money raised helps fund a variety of programs that sustain our school community, including band, Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB), the 5th grade musical, and over 16 other clubs. And the students have a blast participating in it!
We do need volunteers to help count laps and cheer on the students. At least ten volunteers are needed for each class. Come for one or two sessions, or more! Sign up is available at: http://signup.com/go/rLAbhfg or contact Meagan Johanson at nutmeagan27@gmail.com. We couldn’t do it without you!
Your Jogathon Team,
Paul Jacobsen

Dance of the Decades - February 8
Come join us for an evening of dancing, dress up (optional), and fun at the Jefferson Elementary Dance of the Decades on Friday, February 8th from 6:30-8:00pm.
The dance still features MC Mr. Yeh on the music but the theme has been changed from the 50s Sock Hop to a dance featuring music and fun from the 1950s into the 2000s. Different name, same venue, more music and more fun!
Light snacks will be served. Please feel free to bring a snack to share (gluten-free options labeled).
Volunteers are needed to help decorate, set up, assist at snack tables, and clean up.
If you would like to help or for more information please contact Kristy Johnson at 541-990-3044 or email: kristy.johnson09@gmail.com.
Thank you!
