As we cheer on our Tigers this season, let’s remember what education-based athletics and activities are really about.
Yes, the scoreboard matters. We want our teams to compete, work hard, and win. But the purpose of high school athletics and activities extends far beyond wins and losses. These experiences give our students opportunities to compete, grow, learn valuable life lessons, build relationships, and develop the character and skills that will serve them long after their playing days are over.
Tiger Community, being a Tiger means we. . .
🏆 Win with grace. Celebrate your team without tearing down the other team.
💪 Lose with dignity. Be disappointed, but respect the effort of everyone who competed.
👏 Cheer for our Tigers. Encourage our students with positive energy and enthusiasm.
🤝 Respect the officials, coaches, opponents, and other fans. We may not always agree with a call or a decision, but we can always choose how we respond.
🗣️ Think before you speak. Our words and actions represent more than just ourselves, they represent our school and our community.
Our students are watching. Younger students are watching. Opposing teams and communities are watching. Let’s show them what it means to be part of the Jeff West Family.
The goal isn't simply to produce great athletes. It is to help develop great people.
Let's compete hard. Cheer loudly. Support our students. And, always remember:
WIN WITH GRACE.
LOSE WITH DIGNITY.
REPRESENT JEFFERSON WEST WITH PRIDE.
Go Tigers!
We'll see you, Tiger Stadium, tonight @ 7 p.m.

Ozawkie, KS - The Jefferson West Preschool received a $3,000 competitive grant from the Northeast Kansas Library System (NEKLS).
"We’re excited to share that our preschool received a grant to fill our library with new books for students to check out, take home, and enjoy with their families! The grant will also help supplement our classroom curriculum. We’re grateful for this support and excited to grow a love of reading in our students!" -Mrs. Lloyd
"Jefferson West Preschool is excited about growing our preschool library with the NEKLS grant. Preschool is foundational in making academic progress and a great library is an important "brick" in that structure. Our Tiger Cubs will benefit from this grant and the reading opportunities it brings. Thank you NEKLS for helping us grow our preschool program." - Mr. Sturgeon

Calling any and all Healthcare related occupations. Are you a Doctor, nurse, CNA, Med Tech, SonoTech, or anything Healthcare related? (too many to list)
JWHS has two Introduction to Healthcare classes this year. Each student will research a healthcare career of their choice and present the information to the class. Students will reach out to a professional (in September or January) to ask them questions about their duties, education and advice as they consider the career. All we need is you and your expertise.
Please click on the google form link and input your information and the information will be shared with students. Here the link : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfGBRW7cZrdX87U4JsWpylugKwtnJLFAID1hfFficjrHgA1WQ/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=112770430766925089209
