Jefferson School Spots Top October Students
Jefferson Primary School students are like their peers all across the world. They love to get a pat on the back. Recognition for demonstrating safe, responsible and respectful behavior brings a smile to the young faces in the building.
Jefferson formally honors students each month with Spot Awards. When a Jefferson student exhibits a commendable behavior, teachers and staff members “spot” the youngster. A school-wide assembly is held each month to recognize the students who have been “spotted” the most.
Why a Spot Award? Well, the Jefferson School mascot is a jaguar, an animal known for its spotted appearance. Every Jefferson student is trying to get spotted so they can be an award winner, too.

Kindergarten: Ali Brady, Jonathan Balcarcel Veliz, Hanna Boyle, Nehemiah Curtis, Katherine Duke, Katheryn Escobar Ramos, Christopher Maldonado Acosta, Aydan Marroquin-Moto, Anniston Mata Gomez, Sarai Vanegas Benitez
