We are seeking volunteers to serve on a School of Excellence Committee, helping our Jefferson PTA achieve a School of Excellence award from the National PTA in recognition of our efforts to make long-lasting impacts for our school community. We need help reviewing the results of the recently distributed School of Excellence survey to increase and improve family engagement in our school community. We anticipate 3 zoom meetings between December-May. Please email Danielle at outreach@jeffersonptarb.org if you are interested in serving on this committee. Thank you for your help!
Jefferson has launched a new Friendship Club at our school in partnership with the Friendship Foundation, the local nonprofit that hosts the annual Skechers Pier to Pier Friendship Walk. Our Friendship Club is a once-a-month lunchtime club using games and activities to help students learn friendship building skills. If you have a student with special needs and/or social challenges who would benefit from extra practice with their peers, or if you have a student who wants to help their peers work on friendship skills, please invite them to check out our club. The club meets the 2nd Thursday of every month. We are requesting that each club member submit an application, but students can complete it after their first visit if preferred. We are requesting that each club member submit an application. We are also looking for parent volunteers to help facilitate the club. Contact specialed@jeffersonptarb.org for more information.
