š©Who's hungry? WE BROUGHT DONUTS!š©
Our Farmington 4th graders took a delicious field trip to the Farmhouse Bakery this morning! And who doesn't love a donut?? Kids got a great lesson from Kristy Vandiver from learning what she makes, how she got started and which items are her best sellers. Our students got a firsthand look at the inside of the business world and the art of baking.
A massive thank you to Kristy and her amazing team at the Farmhouse Bakery just off the courthouse square for welcoming us, answering a million questions, and (of course) providing some incredible treats!
Check out some of our future bakers in action! š

āļø āļø ANOTHER BUSY DAY OF FIELD TRIPS! āļø
Our amazing summer school crew traded the classroom for the ultimate Farmington adventure today! We packed in a full day of learning, teamwork, and a whole lot of splashing.
Here is how our epic day went down:
š Farmington Public Library: Shhh... 𤫠actually, scratch that. Things are about to get LOUD! Our 5th and 6th graders got a lot more than just a quiet day of reading as the library was transformed into a massive, live-action Escape Room! šµļøāāļøšOur students cracked codes, solved riddles, and used some serious teamwork to try and escape! They also had a crafting session and another group area where they learned all about how the library functions. Huge shoutout to Travis and the incredible team at the Farmington Public Library for creating such an immersive, hands-on learning experience.
š Farmington Firehouse: A massive thank you to our local firefighters! The 4th graders got an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour at the Firehouse today as they checked out the trucks, their gear and learned all about fire safety from our hometown heroes.
š¦ Farmington Water Park: Our 2nd graders got a chance to beat the early summer heat with a trip to the Farmington Water Park! From the slides to the lazy river, there were smiles and splashes all around.
Check out some of the highlights from our day and stay tuned to see where we go next! ššø

These students have taken an active leadership role in the school and community in the following ways: monitoring hallways, collecting mail, creating video announcements, serving Veterans breakfast, ringing the bell for United Way, caroling downtown, working the school store, creating gifts for Teacher Appreciation Week, and being model ambassadors to all students. Jefferson is proud of them and their strong character. šš¤
