*INFO ABOUT SUMMER LUNCHES

STAFF SHOUT: "Mrs. Woodward is the definition of a team player! She is always there to jump in and lend a hand whenever anyone is in need. Whether it is in the classroom, before / after school, or just being a positive presence, Anne is always there to lend a hand. We couldn't be more thankful to have her at Jefferson! Her dedication and support does not go unnoticed!" Ms. Woodward is the best of the best!

Shout out to our Junior ushers last night who did an amazing job guiding our graduates over the last few days! These leaders were so valuable to helping keep order in our ceremony! Thank you Leah, Natalie, Felix and Maxwell!

"I need to do a whole school shoutout! My child is special.  Placed his own desk by the teacher so other kids would respect his "personal space" kind of special. He strives for perfection and making mistakes like erasing too hard, paper ripping, paper is broken, can lead to a can't do my homework, crying breakdown. We learned ice can calm him in these moments and I even bought Mrs. Farthing an ice maker so he can get ice when he's frustrated.  Mrs. Farthing was out yesterday, and when Jacob had a meltdown in front of a substitute, his classmates rushed to help and grabbed him a cup of ice and tried to help.    Mrs. Farthing at Monac is an amazing, empathetic teacher who has modeled and taught methods that have become the norm in her room. This kind of empathy is so hard to teach, but so well modeled that instead of panic, these kids thought with their hearts and saw a way to help a kid who could have easily been labeled a problem.   Thank you to all the staff at Monac elementary that took a moment to see my child as someone who needed empathy and not one that needed punishment or shame. That terrible breakdown could have pushed him back into a deep depression. Instead he was shown more tools and solutions to avoid a future breakdown.  (More shout outs to his para Ms. J. Moya, I.S. Ms. Dunno, and V.P. Mr. Aldridge. ) Our experience at WLS has been one of compassion that exceeds any expectations I could have ever asked for. " ************************************************ 💓When adults meet children where they are, beautiful things happen. Way to go Monac Staff. What a gift to know your child is seen! 💓

Some a-maze-ing students in Mr. Steele's class at Whitmer built an actual MAZE for their class pet (Stitch, a blue-tongued skink lizard) during their reptile unit in Biology 2! Stitch is enjoying finding treats placed in it! Shoutout to Cameron, Xzavier, Dionshae and Kaleb!
