The second most common response...they genuinely want to become better face-to-face communicators.
Enter: Speed Dating (no real dating involved)
Students rotated through a series of short “dates,” each lasting 90 seconds per turn. Armed with a list of prompts, they practiced eye contact, asked clarifying questions, and paid close attention to nonverbal cues...all with the goal of having intentional, meaningful communication in a very short window of time.
It was loud. It was chaotic. And it was incredibly eye-opening, for all!
Osiris has been selected to play in the 2026 Shrine Bowl!!!
Message from Osiris...
I’m super honored to be selected to represent Jefferson West High School in the 2026 Kansas Shrine Bowl. Being only the fourth athlete in school history to play in this game means a lot to me, and I’m proud to represent my school and our Tiger community.
This opportunity is about more than football. The Kansas Shrine Bowl supports Shriners Children’s Hospital, and this cause is really special to my family. My great grandpa, Marvin Sedlacek, was a Shriner with the Arab Shrine Center in Topeka, and he spent a lot of time driving kids to Shriners Children’s Hospital in St. Louis so they could get the care they needed. Getting the chance to be part of this game also feels like a way for me to honor his legacy.
As part of playing in the Shrine Bowl, I’m helping raise money for Shriners Children’s Hospital. If you’re able to donate, I’d really appreciate the support as I work toward my goal of raising $2,000 to help kids who are going through really tough medical situations get the care they need.
If you are a business owner, another great way you could help support my efforts is to place an ad in honor of me in the Shrine Bowl program.

Thank you so much to the Jeff West Community and to everyone who has supported me along the way! It truly means a lot. ❤️🏈
Why the jump on fundraising? Because it takes a lot to feed our boys. Last year the bulk of our money went to feeding our players pregame meals and post game meals on away games. We know it made a difference!
Check out these Jeff West Blankets we have in stock! We have a limited supply and once they are gone they are gone! These are great for upcoming Valentine's Day, Easter Baskets, Graduation Gifts, outdoor events or just a good blanket for keeping warm on the couch!
If you order there will be a quick turn around in delivery. We have some stored at the high school to be delivered and picked up. We will continue to sell until they are gone. We hope you consider purchasing one. Thank you in advance for your support. We are already excited about the 26 season!
On another note, anything you order from the following website a part of the proceeds go to support the Jeff West Football team.
