Why Now, Bond Issue November 2025

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.
