Jefferson West Elementary School

Thank you to everybody for the overwhelming amount of love and support that we received today and everyday for that matter. The days are long, but the school years fly by, and we couldn't ask for a better community of children and parents to spend the years with. We love you all so much, and appreciate every single one of you! Jeff West really IS the best!

Jefferson West AG Ed Greenhouse is preparing for their annual plant sale. We are taking pots to fill for you any time now. We refill them and hold them until the end of the month so you are ready to place them out, ready to display but letting us do the work to make them beautiful. Mr. Buss is in the Ag building daily from 8-11 and 12:30-3:30 for you to drop them off. The FFA Greenhouse will be opening soon!! The first day of sales to the public will be Saturday, April 20, from 1-4pm. We will be open during school hours (8-11am and 12:30-3:30pm) after that point. If there are plants still here, we will have another Saturday sale on April 27 from 9am-12Noon. We will have both annual flowers and vegetable plants for sale.
