The Principals of USD 340 work tirelessly to support teachers, motivate students, and face the many unpredictable challenges which land on their desk. On this day we recognize each of you, Mr. Wes Sturgeon, Mrs. Brenna Dooley, Mr. Matt Stapp, and Mrs. Rhonda Frakes, for your hard work and commitment to our schools, students, and profession.

What does Earth Day mean to you? This is a question worthy of reflection for each of us.
In the spirit of Earth Day, USD 340 Jefferson West encourages all of us to learn something about the environmental conditions in our neighborhood, city, or region. Creating opportunities to remain knowledgeable about surrounding environmental conditions may inspire individuals to pursue solutions that address specific environmental issues closest to home.
