Our 8^th grade guidance counselor, Mrs. Katie Smith will be visiting 8^th grade classes in the first two weeks of February to discuss the high school registration process.

Don’t forget to check high school websites for upcoming rising 9^th grade and open house events.

TJMS Food Pantry

Many of you have heard that we have a Food Pantry Available to our families in need. Understanding that the government shut down has effected many people locally, we wanted to make everyone aware that we will have the food pantry open on the 2nd & 4th Saturday every month, from 9-11. Please contact Michaleh Snider (mcsnider@wsfcs.k12.nc.us), Mike McDowell (mmcdowell@ wsfcs.k12.nc.us), or Daniel Bryant (dpbryant@ wsfcs.k12.nc.us) if you need more information.

Give A Kid A Coat Campaign

Jefferson Middle School is currently sponsoring the Give A Kid A Coat Campaign

WHICH ENDS ON February 7th.

Students, parents, and staff are requested to check their closet for coats they’ve out grown or no longer wear, and donate gently used coats to help children in need stay warm this winter. 

Baby coats are also needed.

The Salvation Army will pick up the coats and Cleaner World cleans the coats.

The Salvation Army distributes the coats to people in our community.

The homeroom that donates the most coats will receive a dessert party.
