Jefferson West USD 340 joins all Kansas schools in observing Oct. 6-10, the first full week of October, as Kansas Anti-Bullying Week, part of National Bullying Prevention Month.
This week is an important time to amplify conversations about bullying, raise awareness and promote anti-bullying discussions and strategies in the community. It’s also a time to recognize the responsibility to safeguard schools to ensure physically safe and emotionally secure environments for all Kansas students and school staff.
Encourage Positive Actions
• Be a buddy, not a bully
• Choose kindness over cruelty
• Kindness is cool, bullying is not
Speak Out
• Stand up, speak out, stop bullying
• Don't tolerate bullying, speak up
• Be an upstander, not a bystander
• Don't let bullies win, stand up for yourself
Cyberbullying is Bullying Too!
• Don't be mean behind the screen
• Think before you click
• Your keyboard is a weapon, use it for good
• The internet is a no-bully zone

Welcome Fall - 22 September 2025 – Fall Equinox
On this day, our planet reaches a perfect cosmic balance: day and night are nearly equal all around the world.
For those in the Northern Hemisphere, this marks the beginning of astronomical autumn - a season of golden leaves, crisp air, and longer nights under starry skies. Meanwhile, in the Southern Hemisphere, spring awakens with longer days and new life returning.
Equinoxes have been celebrated for thousands of years as symbols of harmony and renewal. From ancient monuments aligned with the Sun to harvest rituals, they remind us of our deep connection with the cosmos.
Take a moment today, September 22, 2025, to enjoy the balance of light and darkness.
