The Kansas City Metro Challenger Football league wants you! It is an organized flag football league for boys and girls ages 5 and up who have special needs. They play in the fall and spring with open enrollment throughout the year. Players from all over the Kansas City Metro and other nearby areas are welcome and accommodations will be made for anyone who wants to play. There is no fee to play or equipment to buy. As long as the parents are willing to travel to the Heritage Park Football Complex, they will have a wonderful and safe place to play football.
Check out their website: www.kcmetrochallenger.org to register online, see league details, game schedules, and find contact information. There is a DVD available that showcases the kids participating in the games. Check out the video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yn0pKB2nvE.

Tiger community, our Jefferson West FFA Chapter is looking for sponsorships for their Affiliate Membership Program. The program provides an FFA membership to every student enrolled in an agricultural class. Because of the membership, the chapter isn’t able to collect dues from members, and are asking local businesses if they would be interested in donating to the program and the chapter. Any leftover money would then be used to pay for National Convention, FFA Blue Jacket grants, and leadership development opportunities. Below is the flier explaining the different divisions of donations and what they include. If you have any questions or would like to donate, please contact Steve Buss at 785-484-3331 or steve.buss@usd340.org.
Congratulations to the Lady Tiger Varsity golf team. They won the Jefferson West 18-hole Scramble we hosted yesterday.
