I can't even imagine the pain and grief the family of George Floyd is going through right now. No verdict will bring back the man they love and loved. His murder will always be an injustice in and of itself. If nothing else, the verdicts are at least an act of accountability.

Happy #waterconservationwednesday ! thanks for sharing Ms. Jenks 💙💛🐝 #tjmsrocks #APSGreen

Happy Earth Day 🌏🌍🌎 It's also #upcycleThursday ! There's lots of great examples of reusing and up-cycling here at TJMS, stay tuned! #APSgreen #EarthDay

The Jefferson Garden is all about #upcycleThursday! We reuse plastic jugs for Winter sowing, cardboard boxes for weed control, and the ultimate upcycle: yard waste to compost! 🌱🌎🌍🌏 #APSgreen #tjmsrocks #EarthDay2021

I want to rec the Pride and Prejudance ep of The Great North to any other teachers who run GSAs! It is a great intro to the hidden history of our #LGBTQ community and it has a very sweet message about a girl becoming an ally to her gay brother. My #GSA kids LOVED it 🏳️‍🌈

Vaccines now available for 12 and up! Go get yours now for you and your Jefferson student!! arlingtonva.us/covid-19/vacci…

Kids haven’t spoken to each other in forever! So Ms. Leonberger decided to hit ‘em with a Socratic Seminar right out of the gate. Science, Ethics, the story Henrietta Lacks and some awkward silences. Gotta love middle school 👍#tjmsrocks @APSGifted Jefferson IBMYP

Finished compost ready for mixing with soil! This was the 2nd batch this calendar year for the #JeffersonGarden #TJMSRocks #APSGreen

This week more than 20 TJMS students came together to clean up TJ Park for their Community Project! They collected more than four 5-gallon buckets of litter #TJMSRocks Jefferson IBMYP #APSGreen

Last week students investigated vermicomposting and practiced their experimental design skills! Hope some of these students come to #TJMSCompostClub on Tuesday! 🪱🍎👩‍🌾 #APSGreen #TJMSrocks

The TJMS Compost Club did a great job preparing the compost bins for the Winter this afternoon! #TJMSrocks #APSGreen

Missing the Outdoor Lab today! What an awesome time we had outdoors last week #TJMSrocks #APSGreen

It was an indoor Compost Club due to rain today, but we still had a great time! We made shirts and watched part of the great soil health documentary "Kiss the Ground" ! Thanks for joining us Kip Malinosky ! #APSGreen

These 7th graders used their own free time to start bok choy and collard greens seeds for the Jefferson Garden! Yellow Jackets rock! #TJMSRocks #APSGreen

Penguin students getting ready for College Week at Jefferson IBMYP - our classroom is #RamNation of course! 🐏💛🖤 #TJMSrocks #LetsGoVCU

It's the first day of spring! Today is also the March equinox, when the Northern and Southern hemispheres receive roughly equal amounts of sunlight. Warmer weather is forecast for this week in Arlington, so take a stroll and enjoy the blooms around your neighborhood.

Dozens of Yellowjackets participated in the #GreatGlobalCleanUp today to celebrate Earth Day! They gathered trash from around TJ park and deposed of it properly. #APSGreen #TJMSRocks EARTHDAY.ORG
