Jefferson City students finalize new flag designs for community vote

The Jefferson City Schools Board of Education meeting on April 10, 2025, highlighted several noteworthy student achievements and upcoming community events. A significant focus was placed on the students' involvement in designing a new flag for Jefferson City. The students showcased impressive research and creativity in their designs, which are now set to be narrowed down to three options for a community vote. This initiative aims to engage the public in selecting a flag that represents their city.

In addition to the flag project, the meeting also celebrated the success of a recent coding day, where students explored the world of programming. The event was well-attended, demonstrating strong interest and participation from the student body.

The board also discussed a recent competitive sports event where Cap City faced off against another school. The game drew large crowds, and thanks to standout performances, particularly from player Ryan Ficks, Cap City emerged victorious. The event also served a charitable purpose, raising $7,100 for the Special Olympics, showcasing the students' commitment to community service.

Looking ahead, the board mentioned upcoming events such as Teacher Appreciation Week organized by the JC Schools Foundation, emphasizing the importance of recognizing educators' contributions to the community.

Overall, the meeting underscored the active engagement of students in both creative and athletic endeavors, as well as the district's commitment to fostering community involvement and support for local initiatives.
