Did you know bears eat about 130,000 calories a day to prepare for hibernation? FAT BEAR WEEK was a blast at Jefferson! We had so much fun learning about the food chain, hibernation, animal habitats, migration, and types of bears. We are so thankful to the rangers from Katmai National Park for the live virtual meets with our third grade classes. Rangers Lian and Tegan helped us learn all about why these bears need to gain weight before winter, the amazing migration of salmon, and how coastal brown bears and grizzly bears are the same- just live in different places. Many of our students studied the different bears to determine which ones were best prepared for winter. Congratulations to Backpack for winning Fat Bear Week!

Thank you to the Muscatine Art Museum and Quad City Arts for bringing Leland Faulkner to Jefferson today. Mr. Faulkner is a member of the Chippewa tribe and brought his amazing Dreamcatcher story telling to our stage. He shared stories about how we are all connected and how even the ones perceived as weak have strength and courage. Mr. Faulkner's message was a perfect connection to our theme Together, We Create Magic.

Today, our 6th grade students took the stage to deliver their campaign speeches as they ran for Mayor of BizTown! 🎤🏙️

We heard thoughtful ideas about lowering prices, being fair, making a difference, making sure everyone feels included and has a voice, and taking chances—even when something feels a little scary or uncomfortable.

Most importantly, students practiced using their voices, sharing their ideas, stepping outside their comfort zones, and thinking about what it means to be a leader.

We are so proud of the confidence, courage, creativity, and community-mindedness our students demonstrated today! 👏

Picture day is coming up on September 29th. Retakes will be October 27th.
