Just a few photos from FFA's day the Western Farm Show.
Our Tractor Troubleshooting Team competed last week. Great learning experience. Thank you AGCO and KanEquip for sponsoring this event.
On Thursday, two of our FFA chapter members, Chase and Everett, toured HME in Topeka. Thank you Clint Lee, Jefferson West FFA Alumnus, for an awesome tour highlighting future career options for our Jefferson West Ag students. We hope to continue to bring students out to show employment opportunities and strengthen our relationships business and Agriculture Education.
Thank you to all of you who came out today as a part of our FFA Cowboy Coffee event on Monday. It was our way for members of our community to take time to visit with some of our officers and share. By the way, it might be good for you to locate your FFA jacket as we will have a “Blue & Gold” Event during FFA week. Our advisor knows his high school jacket has shrunk but will still try to put it on. 😉.
At Tuesday night's high school basketball games, the Jefferson West Education Foundation awarded their annual contribution to a few of our amazing teachers and staff for continuing to create incredible opportunities for our students! We were honored to award over $11,000 tonight. Thank you for all that you do!
Jefferson West High School SADD brought ThinkFast Interactive to the high school on Thursday, February 19th. Thanks to a grant from KDOT/Kansas SAFE (Seatbelts Are For Everyone), ThinkFast visited Jefferson West to promote teen driver safety and cover Kansas' rules, regulations, and driving penalties, while providing current information on speeding, racing, and fatalities. It was fun, competitive, engaging, and reinforced a lot of information about being SAFE on the road.
