Bluestem USD 205

The Lola Lee Jackson Foundation presented Bluestem Ag Academy with another generous check. The Foundation awards groups that promote animal health, safety and well being of farm animals. They also hold a top priority to educating students about animals and their proper care. Bluestem Ag Academy will use the funds to upgrade their goat and sheep pens as well as the cattle crowding pens that lead up to the tub and chute. Thank you very much Joel and Annie for the generous donation.
