Jefferson Parent Organization aims to enhance both the educational and social aspects of the middle school experience by gathering, organizing and providing volunteer hours and monetary contributions from parents and the local community. We strive to make the educational experience enjoyable for the students and to facilitate the pride, honor and dedication of the Jefferson administration, teachers and staff.

• Teachers were awarded funds to support mini grant proposals that purchased supplemental educational materials that were not covered by the school budget.
• Four newsletters were mailed to the home of every Jefferson family keeping them up to date on JMS activities and academic progress throughout the year.
• Hospitality was provided for those professionals participating in Jefferson's Career Day.
• Teachers were treated to a breakfast at the beginning of the year, quarterly lunches, and dinner prior to both parent conference evenings.
• Funding was provided for the students' End-of-Year-Picnic.
• Spirit Week was funded and organized for Jefferson students, including a pep rally.
• Appreciation Week was funded and organized for Jefferson teachers, administration and staff.
• Snacks were provided to every student during FCAT testing.
• Monthly student activities (such as dances, game nights, and karaoke events) were funded, organized and chaperoned.

There were many additional occasions for which JPO provided financial aid and/or volunteer hours to Jefferson's teachers, administation, staff and students throughout the year; many more than there is room to list here. More is planned for the 2009-2010 school year than ever before!
