FROM THE JEFFERSON P.T.O....

On behalf of the Jefferson Parent Teacher Organization, we welcome all students, parents, teachers and staff to a wonderful year at Jefferson Elementary School.

The PTO mission is to support the educational activities of our children (library volunteers, field trip funding,   classroom supplies, assemblies, After-School clubs, yearbook, book fair) and their social environment (family events such as Bingo, Roller Skating, Family Picnic, etc).

To meet our needs, we ask your participation as volunteers for our many events and, of course, your financial support. Our main fundraisers this year will be Market Day, the sales of KidStuff and Entertainment books, filled with coupons that quickly cover the book's cost, the Silent Auction and the return of the popular Race for Education in the Spring. These events cover about half our needs; supplemental fundraisers include Boxtops for Education, Basket Raffle, Scrip (gift card) Sales.

.As PTO Board members, we are looking forward to what lies ahead for this school year. We would like to express our deepest Thanks to those that volunteered their time and effort to bring forth excitement here at Jefferson. We are grateful for everyone's past generosity and look forward to your continued time and support. The Board Members are honored to be serving Jefferson Elementary in this aspect.

Thank you in advance for your support anything you can do has a positive impact on our school. Research indicates that students whose parents volunteer at school perform better in the classroom.

We invite everyone to attend our monthly PTO meetings, where we plan activities and vote on proposals. We look forward to meeting and working with everyone this year. At any time, please don't hesitate to contact one of us with ideas or questions or concerns.
