Grandparents’ Game Night was a HUGE Success!

Today, Jefferson County Elementary and We Are Community 21st Century Community Learning Center After School welcomed our amazing grandparents for an afternoon filled with games, laughter, fun, and quality time with our students!

We were thrilled to see such a large turnout and incredible family support. Our grandparents showed up, joined in the fun, and helped create memories our students will cherish. From a little friendly competition to lots of smiles, our grandparents definitely understood the assignment!

Thank you to every grandparent who joined us and helped make today so special. Your presence means more to our students than you know!

Making memories. Sharing laughter. Having a PAWSOME time!
