Staff Shout:
"Big cheers to Mrs. Colleen Sergent, our incredible ELA and Journalism teacher! She launched the Jefferson Junior High Journalism program just last year, and it’s already thriving. Thanks to her vision and drive, The Panther Public has grown from a school paper into a true media outlet—complete with engaging social media pieces on Facebook and TikTok. Colleen turned an idea into something remarkable, giving students real experience in storytelling and media creation. Follow The Panther Public on Facebook and TikTok to see what Colleen and her students create next!"
Foraging into a new initiative like Journalism is no easy task, but Ms. Sergent makes it look effortless!

The gifted eduaction in WLS is TOP NOTCH and our students reaching higher and achieving bigger is PROOF!
6th graders in Ms. Wheaton-Rodriguez's art class at Hiawatha have been busy creating ceramic fortune cookies! Students have reflected on their work and creative process, while also practicing how to respectfully critique their classmates’ artwork using the “Stars & Wishes” method — Stars being what they liked, and Wishes being things they would improve for next time.
To celebrate their hard work, students enjoyed a real fortune cookie treat and compared their handwritten fortunes to the real ones — a fun and thoughtful way to wrap up the project!

PARENT SHOUT:
"Both Mr. Villar and Miss Rupp went above and beyond to ensure my daughters transition to Washington Jr. High was a successful and pleasant one! She and I were very nervous coming into this new situation and they took every concern we had and crushed it. I thought this year would be a very rough transition but due to their overwhelming kindness and due diligence it’s been a successful start so far! I can’t thank them enough! 💙💛
