Jefferson Middle School - 712 Girard N.E. - 255-8691
Principal: Monica Olmstead
Comments:
Neighbors are welcome to walk/jog along the track, but please close the gate when you leave.
A friendly reminder from the principal: Neighborhood kids are using their bikes on the track when their parents are either walking or running the track. The use of bikes on the track will damage the track. Please - no bikes on the track. Thank you.
When you walk your dog on school grounds, PLEASE pick up the poop, so students and staff don't have any surprises. The city will not fund or install a doggie poop bag on site because they will only do that in a city park.
A music building can be seen as you drive along Girard. Robb Janov, who teaches "Rock 'n Rhythm", has formed a non-profit organization so he is now able to expand his music program to students throughout Albuquerque. Of course, he still is a full-time teacher at Jefferson. Jefferson is now officially designated a "Community School". You can check the school's web site to learn more about that. One initiative will be the creation of a community garden. Another project, already in place, is called Jet Care. Jefferson families in need were asked what would be most helpful; the answer was "toiletries". Project Jet Care provides toiletry items to families in need, whose children attend Jefferson. For more information, or to make a donation, contact the school. Also, the school is looking for community members who can volunteer some time between 2:00-5:00 p.m., one or more days per week. One other thing - we talked about having the neighborhood association sponsor/be involved with some sort of student performance (e.g. band) at one of our parks. We'll keep you posted.
