Students and teachers at Jefferson Elementary School got a chance to show off their styles in a school fashion show Friday, Sept. 13, 2019, at the school in Cape Girardeau. Principal Leigh Ragsdale said some of Jefferson’s students “love fashion so much” and many Jefferson teachers are “inspired by fashion.” “Why not bring that to light and create a fashion show and an experience that they’ll remember?” she said.
