After hearing from JAHS students about the impact of Agricultural Education & FFA, our district leaders toured the Madison County Fair on July 7th!

They met amazing Alder students who shared their fair roles — from animal care to leadership duties. So proud of their dedication and hard work!

Thanks to everyone who made the visit meaningful.

Jonathan Alder is more than just a school district — it's a FAMILY. In recent days, several of our families have faced incredibly difficult circumstances. In moments like these, let’s surround one another with care, compassion, and the comforting strength of our community. #alderFAMILY #PioneerTogether
