The corner with the outdoor games tends to get a little dark once the sun sets, and we don’t want the fun to end early!

If you have a light we can borrow, sign up here. Thank you! https://m.signupgenius.com/ #!/showRSVPSignUp/10C0E45ACA828A2FAC43-65103937-jefferson?useFullSite=false

A quick, easy way to support our PTA is by becoming an official member! 💙💛 Sign up here: https://jeffersonwauwatosa.givebacks.com/shop

What does it mean to join the PTA? It doesn’t mean you have to attend all the meetings or dedicate a bunch of time to volunteering (…although we’d love some more volunteers 😉).

Even by simply joining PTA, you will help fund field trips, fun assemblies, school yard signs, teacher conference meals, Teacher Appreciation Week activities, school snacks when needed, and make events like High Interest Day, the Spelling Bee, the fall parent social, Harvest Fest, Cookies Cocoa & Crafts, Jefferson Jog, 5th grade Promotion, etc. happen!

Your membership and support can make a BIG difference for our kids, the school, and our community.

Come to a meeting and check us out! We’d love to have you.

PTA meeting dates, all at 6 pm in the school library:
-Oct 8 (combined with family Movie Night, stay tuned for details!)
-Nov 10
-Jan 12
-March 9
-May 11
