Your Jefferson staff is eager and excited to be meeting together today to get ready for the new school year.

From Nurse Cervantes: Parents may drop off student medications at Jefferson on Monday, August 17th from 8:30am–4:00pm. You may bring in medicine for the entire year at this time, if you wish. Students will not be allowed to bring in medications, so if this Monday does not work for you, please contact the Jefferson office at 574-267-7361 to make other arrangements (or if you have any questions).

Head custodian Mr. "J.R." Utter and his staff have been hard at work, getting the building and grounds prepared for the return of students next Tuesday.

How does YOUR garden grow? Mr. McClintock has tended to Jefferson's flower and vegetable gardens all summer. This colorful planter box awaits our students' return next week.

iPad insurance is a very smart decision. https://www.securedtechsolutions.com/plan/warsaw927/

In case you missed the great feature WSBT22 ran on @WCS_District Summer School Partnership w/@UnitedWayKosc here is the broadcast: https://bit.ly/STARTUNITED #ForwardTogether #STARTUNITED #wcsmission

United Way is partnering with Warsaw Schools to launch START UNITED, a summer experience for 1,000 children who need a boost before the first day of school. This partnership provides an on-ramp for students who need to regain any momentum that has been lost since March. Routine is so important for kids. It gives them the security they need to explore and take risks. United Way is ready to take the first step in helping our kids reset their routines. Read United matches volunteers with a classroom where they will share stories via Zoom call. United Way provides books and prompt cards. Volunteers read once a week for 15 minutes for 3 weeks. 100 volunteers are needed. Sign up at United Way’s website, https://www.unitedwaykosciusko.org/ Registration deadline is July 19th. #ForwardTogether #wcsmission #STARTUNITED

WCS is partnering with United Way to launch START UNITED. United Way of Kosciusko County will be supporting the upcoming summer school program for k-5 with a Virtual Reading Resource for teachers to use during the session and again in the school year. United Way is also donating handmade masks in student-size and adult-size as well as Ready-to-Go bags filled with school supplies for ALL students who attend. A BIG thank you to Angela Hopper, WCHS, for setting up the recording equipment, and to Logan Smith, Class of 2022, for volunteering his time this week to videotape guest readers. United Way is working hard to recruit community volunteers, so we look forward to having lots of story tellers on the WCS Youtube Channel. START UNITED is a great partnership that will set up students for a successful school year! #STARTUNITED #ForwardTogether #wcsmission Sign Up Today: https://www.unitedwaykosciusko.org
