Well, we are thrilled that the snow only decides to fall on weekends around here, even though it means a lot of time indoors on those days! We hope everyone is shoveled out and stayed safe!

What a turnout last night at Jazzy! With over 350 people, it is the most we've had in at least 4 years! A lot of hot dogs were eaten, a lot of songs were sung, and 13 families went home with some great raffle basket prizes! Thank you to everyone who came out and enjoyed the time with us! It is definitely appreciated! Today, we have a 2-Hour Early Out since it is Friday! Let's have a great day, Jefferson! #WeCanDoHardThings! #Yes!WeCan!
