Ozawkie, KS - The Jefferson West Preschool received a $3,000 competitive grant from the Northeast Kansas Library System (NEKLS).
"We’re excited to share that our preschool received a grant to fill our library with new books for students to check out, take home, and enjoy with their families! The grant will also help supplement our classroom curriculum. We’re grateful for this support and excited to grow a love of reading in our students!" -Mrs. Lloyd
"Jefferson West Preschool is excited about growing our preschool library with the NEKLS grant. Preschool is foundational in making academic progress and a great library is an important "brick" in that structure. Our Tiger Cubs will benefit from this grant and the reading opportunities it brings. Thank you NEKLS for helping us grow our preschool program." - Mr. Sturgeon
