Jefferson Families, we need your help! Would you host a table for our upcoming Cultural Heritage Night on October 5th? Are you from another country? Have you visited another country? Are you an expert on another country? Then you can host a table! When you host a table, you get to decorate it with pictures, souvenirs, garland, posters, etc. and share a tiny sample of food from your country. (Remember, you do not necessarily have to be from the country of the table you host).

For the second year in a row, the Jefferson Library has become home to an assortment of native lake fish, thanks to the school's partnership with Lilly Center for Lakes and Streams at Grace College. This year's tank, which was installed earlier today, contains two yellow perch, one channel catfish, a redear sunfish, and a largemouth bass. The tank's central location in the school's library allows all students access, and during the week prior to Fall Break, each class will receive guided lessons from Lilly Center staff.
Mrs. Propp, Jefferson's Digital Learning Specialist, is excited about the return of fish to the library. "Students have been asking since the first day of school when the fish will be back, as they really got attached last year. I think the experience provided an amazing opportunity for our Spartans to see the fish tank as an extension of our 'lakes community.' It helped them want to care for our lakes and streams, because our 'library fish' made it more personal for them."
The fish tank is cleaned regularly and fully maintained by Grace College students, who work with Lilly Center. Mrs. Propp is responsible for facilitating the feeding schedule. #ExperienceWCS

Via Credit Union will open a Student Branch at Jefferson Elementary on Friday, September 22. The Student Branch will be run by Jefferson students, who will be able to open new accounts and take deposits each Friday before school.
The purpose of the Student Branch is to help students establish money management skills and a habit of saving while having fun! Via Credit Union will be offering various incentives throughout the year, plus each time a deposit is made, students will be placed into a weekly and monthly drawing. During October, students who make a deposit can spin the prize wheel for school supplies!
If you would like your child to start saving at the Jefferson Student Branch, please complete a permission slip and return it along with their initial deposit. Permission slips will be sent home but are also available at the school office.
