It is with pleasure that we announce that Jefferson School will have the addition of two new Clubs coming to our school for the 2011-12 school year. Early Act, an extension of the Rotary Club, will start an inaugural year at Jefferson School for this upcoming school year. Early Act is a school-wide service club that was developed for elementary students’ ages 5 to 13. It will be sponsored by our local Rotary club and will provide our students with knowledge on the basic ideals of Rotary and provide a foundation to entry into more advanced Rotary sponsored clubs. The mission of Early Act is to promote goodwill, understanding, and peace through active participation of its student members. The skills acquired from Early Act will develop committed citizens and effective leaders with the ability to improve the quality of life of their school, local, and global communities. Jefferson is also proud to welcome the Kiwanis sponsored club, K-Kids. K-Kids is a “student-led” community service club, which operates under school regulations and draws its members from the student body. Members will learn character building, inclusiveness, caring, and leadership.  Mrs. Vanessa Rubright, Jefferson School nurse, will be the school sponsor for the K-Kids program. Information on the faculty sponsor for Early Act and how to sign up for each of these clubs will be forthcoming. Preliminary plans are being made to have representatives of both clubs in attendance during school registration. These student opportunities are a welcome addition to our school.
