Dear Community Members,

This year, we are excited to offer our seniors the opportunity to participate in the Jae Foundation Senior Boots Program. The initiative is aimed at supporting High School Seniors to provide each student with a pair of Jae Boots along with a powerful message of mental health awareness, suicide prevention and resilience. This transformational approach provides the ultimate Boot-Check for these students, reminding them that they are loved, valued, meant to be here and that they have a community around them. You can learn more about the program here: https://jaefoundation.com/high-school-senior-boots/.

The cost of the program is $200 per senior, and we have 20 seniors in the Class of 2026. We are asking for your support to help us raise the $4,000 needed this year to make this possible.

We would also like to continue this tradition for years to come. If you or your business would like to make a multi-year commitment, or donate a larger lump sum, we will ensure it is set aside specifically to support future graduating classes.

Your generosity will directly impact our students, giving them a meaningful and lasting reminder that their community stands behind them as they step into their future.

If you are interested in donating, please contact Katherine Kruse or send contributions to Niobrara County Middle & High School, 702 West 5th Street, Lusk, WY 82225.

Thank you for your continued support of our students. 

Sincerely,  Katherine Kruse
