Jeffrey School Parent Teachers Organization

Cultural Assemblies: The PTO sponsors 2 to 3 cultural assemblies throughout the school year, chosen together with the principal. The goal of each is to introduce the students to cultures and traditions from around the world and to teach empathy and compassion towards others and themselves. The assemblies are for the entire school and are typically split up between Kindergarten/First and Second/Third so that the students have a more personal experience.

Science Month: A tradition that has been ongoing for many years, Science Month is another opportunity to engage all students in multiple different workshops and assemblies all focused on the different areas in science. The PTO works closely with the faculty to incorporate hands-on experiments, engaging assemblies with the goal to get students excited about science. Some of the different programs we have had in the past include a visit from a traveling zoo, Mobile Steam Lab, and a local scientist who leads experiments within each class that are chosen by each grade level.
