Our kindergarteners had a blast at the Job Jamboree on Thursday, May 1st! It was an exciting day filled with curiosity and learning as students explored a variety of important jobs that help our community thrive. One of the highlights was discovering what some of our very own kindergarten parents do for a living! A huge thank you to our amazing parent volunteers who shared their time and talents with us:
Jay Johnson – Farming
Alex Myers – Welding
Lyndsey Koehler – Day Care
Cody Weiland – Endpoint Management Engineer with Park Hill School District
Kristin Yurth – Esthetician
Kelsey Clary – Nurse
Denise Thomas – Behavior Specialist
Your contributions made this day meaningful and memorable for our young learners. Thank you for inspiring the next generation!

Dear Doniphan West Elementary School Families,
Exciting news! We are partnering with Books Are Fun and their Book Blast program to help build our students’ home libraries. For over 30 years, Books are Fun has been a trusted partner in promoting literacy.
Today, our students learned about the Book Blast Program and the importance of having their own books at home. Tonight, we are asking you to take 7 minutes to support our Student Home Library initiative. Click Here: https://app.booksarefun.com/DoniphanWestES66017
Here are the steps:
1. Click the link above.
2. Register your student(s).
3. Send invitations to at least 10 friends or family members to support our students (Don’t worry, all the information you provide is secure and only used for this program.) 4. Need help registering? Watch this short step by step video: https://www.bb.booksarefun.com/how-to-complete
Win a trip to Disney!
Our school has been selected for an incredible opportunity! For every supporter who clicks your student’s contribution link during Book Blast, you’ll earn one entry for a chance to win a trip to Disney! For example, if five different people click the link, your family gets five entries into the drawing!
*Pro Tip: After sending invitations, follow up with a phone call to make sure they received the message.
Why I love this program:
· It’s guaranteed to put new, age-appropriate books into the hands of every student!
· 100% of all contributions go toward new books and classroom supplies.
· The book list is fantastic! It’s attached, check it out.
· It will take you less than 10 minutes and there is NO financial requirement from you.
More books in your homes equals more pages being read! That’s the goal. We’re hoping for 100% participation. Want to see Book Blast in action? Watch this news clip from Fulton Elementary: Fulton Elementary News Clip
Thank you for helping our school and community.
Doniphan West Elementary students earn attendance awards. Great job Mustangs!
The elementary students enjoyed watching the SpongeBob Musical at HCC today.
Update: Tree limbs caused fuses to blow at the power line on the east end of the playground. Evergy is on their way to fix the issue. Hopefully we will be up and running with electricity soon. The students are actually enjoying not having power.
The power is out at the elementary school due to a downed line. All students are safe, and learning is continuing as planned. Buses will run at their normal times.
Phone lines at the elementary school are also down. If you need assistance, please call the high school at 785-442-3286, and we will relay messages to the elementary staff.
The BOOK BLAST program by Books Are Fun kicks off on April 1st! Students will receive all the details that day.
Ask your students if they remember last year’s prizes—three individual rewards for submitting 10 emails, treasure chests for four students, an iPad, and free books for everyone at the end. This year’s prizes are different, and the staff can’t wait to see the excitement on the students' faces!
