School Clubs & Activities:
Jefferson has many activities for our students to participate in. Some of the activities are for specific grade levels, but they are fun for all!
Band:
Allows 6th grade students the opportunity to play any band/musical instrument.
Battle Of The Books:
Students 4th-6th grade participate on a voluntary basis. Teams of four (any grades) read 45 books from a select list. Starting in November during Children's Book Week, the groups begin reading from the list. In February, each team is given 25 questions to answer, and they must identify which book it came from. The Jefferson Team with the most answers advances to the district level.

Peer Mediation/Conflict Resolution:
Peer Mediation is a program in which students are given in-depth training in conflict resolution skills designed to help other students solve their conflicts. This is available for students in grades 5 and 6. Peer mediators meet throughout the year with advisors as well as provide peer mediations for students. Other activities they may be involved in are introducing games outside at lunch recess or providing classrooms with a chance to have mediators visit their classrooms. School-based peer mediation provides a time and a place for students who have a disagreement to come together and "talk out" the problem so that they can resolve it. By setting aside a time and a place for resolving conflict, students learn that conflict is natural and acceptable, and they must make some thoughtful choices about managing their own conflict.
Safety Patrol:
Safety Patrol is comprised of responsible, respectful and civic minded students who volunteer to assist in keeping Jefferson and FRA students safe as they transition home at the end of the day.
School Store:
Run by 5th grade students, a store where other students can buy needed school supplies at bargain prices. Our school store is open daily before school and before classes begin after lunch.
Service Club:
The Jefferson Service Club provides an opportunity for students to be involved in the operation of their school. It provides students the chance to learn about the democratic process and to develop leadership skills. The focus is on planning and promoting activities that foster school spirit as well as providing school and community services. The Service Club meets regularly, is led by the officers and is supervised by a faculty advisor.
The Service Club is made up of representatives from the third through sixth grade homerooms. These students also act as liaisons for each of the kindergarten through second grade rooms by providing information and gathering input. The representatives' duties include attending all meetings, taking part in discussions, reporting regularly to their class, keeping an open mind and setting a good example in and out of school.
Strings:
4th thru 6th grade students have the opportunity to play the Violin, Cello or Bass.
