🌟 Celebrating One of Our Own
A huge congratulations to Ms. Lisa Wolin for receiving the Phoenix Award! 🏆
Nominated by our BHR provider, Hallie Ingraham, Ms. Lisa was recognized for being a trusted, caring adult—so many of our students name her as someone they feel safe with, which truly speaks volumes. 💛
This award celebrates individuals who show resilience and those who lift others up with compassion and support. We are incredibly lucky to have Ms. Lisa as part of our Jag family!
🏃♂️ Track Season is Almost Here!
📅 Sign-ups open May 2nd
⏳ Registration closes May 8th
Families can sign up through FinalForms—don’t miss the chance to get involved!
Thank you for all you do to support our students and school community. We love seeing our Jaguars stay involved, connected, and thriving! 🐾💙
Go Jags!
Warmly,
Jefferson Middle School
