From the Jeff West Booster Club....Middle School and High School Teachers

Our amazing teachers pour so much love, energy, and heart into our kids every single day. This holiday season, we have a wonderful way to give a little of that love back! ❤️

The teachers have put together a Christmas Wishlist of items that would truly make a difference in their classrooms — from fun learning tools to everyday essentials.

If you’re able, we’d love your help to clear their wishlists and show them just how appreciated they are! 🎁🍎

Our FFA members head to Lawrence today for Horse Judging. Good luck to our competitors!

The horse evaluation event fosters interest in equine science through experiential learning and practical application. It recognizes participants for their skills in horse evaluation, instilling leadership, critical thinking, and communication. By participating, students develop a competitive spirit, build career foundations in the equine industry, and advance their knowledge in horse care, selection, and management. This event offers both individual and team activities, including knowledge tests, selection classes, oral reasons, and practical scenarios, all designed to enhance equine science education and prepare students for future opportunities in the field.
