ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?
One of my goals as principal is to increase student interest in attending
four year colleges. While college might not be for everyone I believe
it is important to expose students to all options available to them. For
this reason the last week in September will be College Week on the Jefferson
campus. Students will participate in a number of activities to learn about
college campuses, financial aid, applications, and admission requirements.
The culminating activity for this week will be a trip to Stanford on October
2nd to watch Washington play Stanford in football. This will be a Saturday
field trip leaving Jefferson School at approximately 11:00 a.m. and returning
approximately 7:00 p.m. All students and their parents are encouraged
to attend, although parents are not required to accompany their student.
All attendees have the option of riding the charter buses or providing
their own transportation. The tickets to the game are free, but each individual
who will be riding the charter buses are required to pay $10.00 fee for
transportation. This trip will be on a first come first serve basis and
seating is limited.
