Jefferson Avenue School

The rainy weather didn’t dampen our spirits- fun stories and garden tasting at JA today! Don’t forget you have one more chance to join us for a read aloud this summer (August 19 at 10:00) 🥳

Such a great turn out on this gorgeous day for our first read aloud and garden experience of the summer! Hope you can join us for the next one on July 30th at 1:00 😎

We hope to see you on Monday for our 1st read aloud and garden experience of the summer! 😎

We have extended the JA Logo Deadline until the end of the day today, Friday, July 10th! Please see below for the specific details. We hope your child will participate and share their creative perspective!

Next Year's Theme: "Be good. Do good. Go JA!"

That’s our theme. Now we need a logo. The contest is open to all JA students who will be in Grades K-5 during the 2026-2027 school year. Here’s what you should do if you want to submit a design:

On a white piece of paper use a pencil to draw a simple logo--draw large and use the whitespace! Your design doesn't need to include the words necessarily. We can add the title later if needed. However, if you want to use words, that's fine, too. Correct spelling is important here!

Remember, when it comes to logos, simpler is better. Less is more. The image should be one that is easily recognized and, when people see it, they know at a glance the essential message it is trying to convey. Once you have your design the way you like it in pencil, trace it with a dark marker, and carefully add color.

Scan or take a photo of your artwork and email it to Mrs. Wielandt [email protected] with “logo contest” and your name in the subject line.

Entries are due by Friday, July 10th, 2026.

The winning design will be voted on by the entire JA School Staff and will be our LOGO for next year!

Happy last day of school to all of our 🐆s but most especially to our 5th graders! Wishing you all a safe, FUN-filled summer! 🥳

Lots of fun new games coming for our youngest 🐆 thanks to Mrs. Metcalfe and her vision and talent! 🐆 were so excited to try out the areas that were done and to watch (and question!) the artists at work 🎨

Today was a gorgeous FUN-filled day for our 🐆! We began our day celebrating an amazing year with Claudia and Ryan, we got to cheer for the seniors from FHS during the graduate parade, and there were 🐆 playing outside everywhere this afternoon! What a great day 🥳

Congratulations to our youngest 🐆! They did an amazing job at their Kindergarten Celebration today!!
