Parent Chloe Whiddon says everyone, from Principal Lori Turner to the lunch staff, has done an incredible job of supporting three of her children, including one who is now in the 8th grade. Whiddon says, “They love everyone at Thomas Jefferson. They deserve a big spotlight for how awesome they are, and how much they mean – not only to my family, but also to a lot of families.”
