Jefferson Elementary School

While Field Day was far from "summer-y" this year, everyone seemed to have a great time. BIG thanks again goes out to Mrs. Monce for all of her planning, not only for this Field Day, but also for those over many previous years. It has always been a day full of smiles (and drenched children), and this year was no exception. 😁 ​ Special thanks to all parent volunteers, Winona Lake Grace Church for the use of their bounce houses and grilling skills, and to our Jefferson PTO for Kona Ice, which was a reward earned during last fall's Spartan Shuffle. #WarsawINSPIRES

Get all the info you need about starting kindergarten at Jefferson (if you missed Kindergarten Kick-Off).

Tomorrow morning! Don't forget! We can't wait to see you! Once a Spartan, always a Spartan! #WarsawINSPIRES

Friday night's Retirement Party was a lovely celebration of many decades of service to Jefferson.
