jefferson sunflowers

Like children, sunflowers need time, nurturing and love to blossom. That was one lesson, as part of social and emotional learning, in Aimee Ferguson’s fifth-grade class at Jefferson Elementary School Tuesday. The class was visited by Superintendent Jonathan Raymond, who frequently shares the story of sunflowers, and the importance of patience, while advocating for our children and students. Students wrote a thank-you letter to Raymond for his visit, and student Brener Vasquez drew these flourishing sunflowers as well!
