West Jefferson Alumni, Kevin Summers, recently visited our school and brought with him a Robotic Welder. He helped the Ag students create programs on the computer and then the next day, he demonstrated how the welder works using those programs. Kevin generously gave away five welding helmets and approximately twenty pairs of gloves to the students.
(Side note: Kevin originally brought in three welding helmets to give away, but when he witnessed our students saying the Pledge of Allegiance at the beginning of school and learned that West Jefferson students say the pledge every day, he went back out to his car and brought in two more helmets with a Patriotic design on them that he added to the giveaway.)
A big thank you to Kevin Summers for sharing this with our students!

We are using a new photographer this year! We are excited to have Josh Petersen Photography here to take school photos.
See the attached image for pricing information.
Please note: The order form says that you need to order a package in order to purchase add-ons. After clarification from the photographer, you can buy items off the add-ons list WITHOUT purchasing a package. Just indicate that on the form. Also, if you have more than one child, you can write one check for all children, just write it on the order form. The more you communicate, the less confusion.

Bus message for parents and students using the bus stop near Sage Junction.
If parents are not at the bus stop on time in the morning, they will need to drive their kids to school.
If parents are not at the bus stop in the afternoon, Nyla would need to keep the students on the bus and meet the parents somewhere else on the route.
West Jefferson High School and Jr. High:
Monday will have a shortened class schedule to give secondary students a chance to meet teachers, get information on their classes, have time to reconnect with each other, and meet new classmates.
Each school will be having an assembly, doing an activity in the gym, and having some water activities on the hill.
The high school and junior high will be doing similar things, but will be at different times.
Come dressed for school and bring modest swimwear and a towel for the water activities.
Welcome back! We can't wait to start a great year!
