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).

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
