The 6th annual Alabama State Department of Education's Thank Alabama Teachers Month
begins on November 1, 2025!

Emily Hutto from Jefferson County Greenway visited third grade this morning and brought some of her friends that are native to Alabama. Students got to meet a millipede, a salamander, a box turtle, and a rat snake. We enjoyed learning about these animals today!








A fun day of learning about the human body for first grade? It's just what the doctor ordered!






Red Ribbon Week is next week!

A teacher inflatable race is just the thing to PUMP UP our students for learning!

Congratulations, Mrs. Brasher!

BIG thanks to the Kimberly Fire Department for showing us their fire truck and teaching us about fire safety!



Don't forget -- recipe submissions are due THIS FRIDAY!

We appreciate each student who attended our first Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council meeting of the year! During these meetings, student representatives from throughout our district participate in thought-provoking conversations with Dr. Gonsoulin. These discussions are invaluable and allow us to continue growing as a district. Thank you again to everyone who participated!




Today is School Custodian Appreciation Day, and we hope you'll join us in celebrating our outstanding custodians here at JEFCOED!🎉
These heroes not only ensure students and teachers spend their days in clean, safe environments, but also spread positivity throughout their schools. We appreciate all they do to help our district thrive! When you see your school custodian today, be sure to tell them thank you!

Our homecoming pep rally was so much fun! Big thanks to the MJHS band and cheerleaders!

First grade is learning about plants and have planted seeds (Lima beans). On Friday, Mrs. Wakefield read the book, The World’s BEST Class Plant, to all of the first graders! She also donated a spider plant (from her own spider plant) to each first grade classroom. The spider plant is known for producing “babies” or spiders. The students will help to care for the spider plant with hopes that by the end of the school year there will be enough spiderettes for each student to carry home!









Anxiously waiting for the start of Open House…



Moments like these!🥹💙
Last week, Mortimer Jordan High School hosted kindergartners from Warrior Elementary and Bryan Elementary for a pep rally! One of our favorite interactions from the day happened during a new tradition, where seniors and kindergartners exchanged letters. The 12th graders gave words of encouragement and advice in their letters, and the kindergartners shared precious notes filled with drawings! This was such a touching moment. Thank you, MJHS for creating unforgettable memories for these students!
