Our Jefferson Elementary third graders are getting hands-on with coding this week!

As part of Hour of Code, students in Mrs. Pulliam's library class learned the basics of programming and used those skills to guide tiny robots through a festive gingerbread maze.

Watching them test, adjust, and celebrate each successful run is what joyful learning looks like. Great job, Knights!

As temperatures drop this week, the City of Farmington has shared information about local warming shelters available to anyone who needs a safe place to stay warm.

If you or someone you know may need assistance during the upcoming cold front, please take a moment to review the shelter options and share this information with others who might benefit.

Staying informed helps keep our community safe and supported.
