As the school year has come to a close, the Home & School Board would like to extend our deepest thanks to our incredible Patriot community for your unwavering support. Whether you stayed connected through our newsletter, attended meetings, contributed to our annual fundraiser or monthly restaurant nights, donated treats, volunteered at the Bunker, or helped bring the 8th Grade Gala to life — thank you! Your involvement made all the difference.

A special thank-you goes to our outgoing Executive Board members, Jennifer Riordan and Heather Huether, for your years of dedicated service to the students, staff, and families of Jefferson. We are also grateful to our amazing committee chairs for the countless hours they spent organizing staff appreciation events, vision and hearing screenings, spirit wear, the lost and found, school supply kits, the holiday and end-of-year staff gift card drive, social media, 8th grade yard signs, and so much more!

To our 8th grade families — congratulations! We wish you all the best as you begin this exciting new chapter. Remember: Once a Patriot, always a Patriot!

Wishing everyone a safe, relaxing, and fun-filled summer. We’ll see you in August!
