West Jefferson K-12 students had the opportunity to attend an anti-bullying assembly that was presented by Bikers Against Bullies. The men and women of this non-profit organization take time from their jobs to volunteer at school assemblies and other events to spread their message against bullies. They told personal stories about their own experiences with bullying while they were growing up. They gave the students ideas of what to do if they ever encounter a bully, but more importantly, they encouraged everyone to be nice and to say something kind to a different person every day. Their trip to West J is captured in more photos and videos on their Facebook page:. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2327538660854189

Anti-Bullying Assembly, Monday, May 8th

Last year's Mr. West Jeff, Creed Jacobs, passed on the cape to our 2024 Mr. West Jeff winner, Branson Neville. This annual event is a fund-raiser organized by the Junior Class to raise money for their class fund as they prepare to be Seniors! It's always a night of laughter and fun as the boys compete against each other in similar categories as the girls in the DYW program.
