T.J.'s Mission:
Our population of approximately 580 encompasses students of many diverse backgrounds and cultures in kindergarten through sixth grade. We strive to provide the kind of individual attention that encourages students both academically and socially and makes our large school seem like a smaller, more personal one. Thomas Jefferson's mission is to empower our students to be self-motivated, world-class learners who demonstrate respect, responsibility, and commitment to academic excellence. Our motto is One Terrific Journey, and staff, parents, and community supporters are all dedicated to making each child's journey at Thomas Jefferson truly terrific!
Hello TJ Parents!
February has been a busy month! We kicked it off with the Fun Fair, partied for Valentine's Day, feasted at Garibaldi's for "Restaurant Night", and bonded over books at TJ's amazing Family Reading Night. A HUGE thank you to all the folks who made these terrific events happen!
Looking ahead to March, PTA is gearing up for a wonderful Multi-Cultural Fair on Friday 3/14! Get involved with all the fun by hosting a country display, donating an ethnic dish, or submitting a recipe for the cookbook. Volunteers during the event are always appreciated as well. Contact the MCF Co-Chairs Belinda Wagner at beliwagner@hotmail.com or Jen Knutsen at mnjknutsen@comcast.net for more information.
....and if after the MCF you are inspired to visit foreign lands, SPRING BREAK starts only a short week later (3/24-3/28)!!!
Before you take off for the warmer, sunnier places, join us for the March PTA meeting on Tuesday 3/18 at 7:15pm - Special Guests will be the 6th Grade teachers!
Our PTA is looking for leadership for next year. There are several Executive Committee positions that are opening as the current officers complete their terms. We are in need of President(s), a VP of Communications, VP's of Ways and Means, and a Treasurer. Please contact our Nominating Committee Chair Belinda Wagner at beliwagner@hotmail.com if you are interested or have questions.
Next year's Open Committees will be posted in the next several weeks, so keep your eyes open for the one that interests you!
So Friends, only a few more weeks til Spring - we can do it!!!!
