ACTIVITIES:

*For the 100th year anniversary of Bloomington Public Schools, Jefferson is going to bury a time capsule that will be opened in 25 years (2042). This is your chance to submit something for that time capsule and be remembered!

We are looking for written submissions and photos.  Written submissions could include short essays, stories, letters to students in the future, tweets, and anything else that might shine a light on life in 2017. Photos should demonstrate life in 2017 and have a short caption on the bottom or back.

You can email your submission to Principal Anderson (janderson3@isd271.org) or drop them off with Ms. Clark in the Main Office.

Submissions are due by Wednesday May 24th.
