Introducing the Doniphan West Class of 2038.
Have a great summer!

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!
