6th graders recently learned about facial proportions. They drew a realistic self-portrait and colored it abstract. Pictured are the awesome artists. Not pictured Alexis and Toby. #JeffersonCUSD1

The 4th graders recently learned how to complete a color wheel. They used their color wheel as part of a collage of their own choosing. Pictured are the 4th grade awesome artists. Not pictured Nico. #JeffersonCUSD1


Robby was chosen as awesome artist for his torn paper cat #JeffersonCUSD1

The 5th graders recently studied the shape of leaves, and complementary and analogous colors. They created 2 identical leaf paintings and wove them together to create a final masterpiece. Pictured are the 5th grade Awesome Artists. Not pictured Makennely. #JeffersonCUSD1

Our students wanted to make sure Halloween wasn’t just about candy and costumes — it is also about appreciation!
They wanted to make sure those who serve our students daily felt seen and celebrated this season. Thank you to our students for showing that kindness is truly the best treat of all 🍬🎃 #JeffersonCUSD1

What happens when you throw a pumpkin off the roof? 🤔 Our preschoolers found out today while learning all about cause and effect and gravity! Nothing like a little hands-on science to make learning stick (and splat)! 🎃 #JeffersonCUSD1





Illinois is the #1 state for growing pumpkins in the world! Kellie Diveley, the Education Coordinator for Coles County Soil and Water Conservation District, helped Jefferson students learn about our state's legacy all while having some fun! Between an educational craft, reading the Pumpkin Ag Mag along with a worksheet, listening to the story of Pumpkin Jack, and a pumpkin trivia game that included tossing a blowup pumpkin around the room, students learned all about the lifecycle of a pumpkin and that there's more to pumpkins than meets the eye! #JeffersonCUSD1









What an amazing night! Our Student Lighthouse Team had a spooktacular time at Scare On The Square this past Friday! 👻🎃
We loved seeing all the creative costumes, handing out candy, and sharing the 7 Habits with our community. A big THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by our booth — and to our Lighthouse members for showing such great leadership and school spirit! #JeffersonCUSD1

Last week, we had the privilege of recognizing our outstanding principals during National Principals Week. Our crew took time to celebrate them with balloons, thank-you cards, and plenty of appreciation!
A huge thank you to our principals Mr. Ulm and Mr. Marlo, for everything you do each and every day to lead, support, and inspire our students and staff. #JeffersonCUSD1

Our Friday at JES got off to the BEST start thanks to a special visitor… Billy the Panther from EIU! 🐾💙
Billy surprised our students by roaming the halls, stopping by the gym, popping into the cafeteria, and even greeting students out front. Everywhere he went, he spread Panther spirit with high-fives, hugs, and plenty of smiles. Thank you, Billy and friends! #JeffersonCUSD1

Mrs. King’s class had a great time creating craft projects! With supplies generously donated by Home Depot, the students made flannel pumpkins using pool noodles and flannel shirts. 🍂🎃
The students then ran their own booth, selling the pumpkins they created! While having fun, they were also practicing important skills—fine motor skills, money skills, public interaction, following directions, and working toward a goal. #JeffersonCUSD1
