Jefferson Elementary Kitchen Staff
Our kitchen staff are simply amazing! They serve hundreds of breakfasts and lunches each day in short time. They accommodate a variety of food needs with smiles on their faces. Students frequently comment about how tasty the food is. We have a special crew here who takes great care in seasoning our lunches so students will enjoy them even more! We are so lucky to have such dedicated, positive, and caring kitchen staff! Thank you for ALL that you do to serve the Jefferson community!

RPS Staff at Quarry Hill
I want to celebrate all of the work our RPS staff out at Quarry Hill Nature Center have done to create and redesign lessons for our students that align to the new Minnesota Science Standards! They have thought critically about creating engaging lessons that center local phenomena, engage students as scientists, and allow students authentic opportunities to make meaning of the world around them. Their passion for their work is contagious and is such an asset to RPS community as a whole!
