Preview (while eating District Doughnuts!) some of the items to be auctioned off at the Spring Gala tomorrow morning from 8 am – 9 am at the school.  The class banners, designed by your children earlier this year, will be some of the items offered.

Come get a tour of Jefferson Academy Middle School and talk to the administration and current students at one of two upcoming open houses:

• Monday, April 18:  6-7:30 pm (*babysitting available)
• Saturday, April 23: 10-11:30 am (*babysitting available at Jefferson Academy; please contact Alina Banu or Sarah Carr if you will be using the babysitting).

The first ~45 minutes of both open houses will be a discussion with representatives from the administration and current students.  This will be followed by a tour of the school.  Prospective students and siblings of all ages are welcomes at the open houses.  Members of the Brent PTA Middle School Committee and other Brent families will be present at both open houses.  If you are interested in hearing more about Jefferson Academy, please let Alina Banu or Sarah Carr know.  They will be coordinating some small social events to talk more about Jefferson Academy. Alina is mom to 6th and 8th grade students at Jefferson Academy as well as 3rd and Kindergarten students at Brent.  There are also shadow days where your child can spent a portion of his/her day with a current Jefferson Academy student.  Those are being held April 12, 19, and 21 from 9:15-11:15 am. You can sign up by calling the Jefferson front office at 202.729.3270.
