*CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR SHOW CHOIRS, Jefferson JIVE, Jefferson Connection, and our amazing Show Band for a wonderful season! Jefferson JIVE did great this year placing in three out of five competitions, including a 3rd place award this weekend at Totino Grace. The Show Band was recognized as the "Best Band" for their excellent support of the show choirs. Lastly, the varsity CONNECTION choir accomplished something remarkable that hasn't happened in 15 years: they made it to the finals and placed in every competition for two years in a row. Great job, show choirs and band!

If you’d like to see any of these groups in action, you are invited to attend the annual SHOWCASE on March 14 and 15.

*CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SPEECH TEAM FINALISTS from the Shakopee Tournament on Saturday! Charles Lindstrom finished in the Consolation final. Freya Nafziger earned a spot in the Merit final and also secured her first invitation to the national tournament. In the Next-In final were Kerris Vaupel and Charles Lindstrom. Great job, everyone!


*CONGRATULATIONS TO KYLIE JONES who has been announced as Jefferson’s 2025 ATHENA AWARD winner. The Athena Award is given each year to the outstanding female athlete in the senior class. She will be honored by the Minneapolis Athena Banquet committee along with other metro Athena recipients this spring.
