It was an incredible day for Jefferson West FBLA!
👏 Brenna Leuty & Brodie Bahr presented a challenging case in front of judges and a full room of spectators. They impressed with their ideas and presentation skills, earning 6th place in the State of Kansas—even surpassing teams that placed ahead of them at Districts. Outstanding work!
🥇 Kylie Allison, Paisley Emanuel & Carsyn Wellman dominated in the Business Plan event, earning 1st place with high marks across the board!
📊 Their written project scored an impressive 170/190, and their presentation was their best yet.
🎉 This 1st place finish qualifies them for FBLA Nationals in San Antonio this summer!
We are so proud of all these students for their hard work, professionalism, and representation of Jefferson West.

April Fools' Day has been celebrated for several centuries by different cultures, though its exact origins remain a mystery. Traditions include playing hoaxes or practical jokes on others, often yelling “April Fools!” at the end to clue in the subject of the April Fools' Day prank. While its exact history is shrouded in mystery, the embrace of April Fools' Day jokes has ensured the unofficial holiday’s long life. No foolin'!
