Mankato West is now taking applications for Link Crew Leaders for the 2025-26 school year.

Current Sophomores and Juniors are eligible to apply. Important dates are highlighted in the application form (Link Crew Leader Application).

If you have any questions, please email Mr. Patenaude (dpaten1@isd77.org) or Mr. Degner (mdegne1@isd77.org). Applications are due by April 4th.

Please come out and support the East and West VEX Robotics teams on April 12 from 9am to 1pm at Snell Motors at 1900 Madison Avenue.

We will receive $25 for each EV test drive. VEX Robotics teams will be showing off their robots. There will also be local exhibitors and food trucks.

On April 16th, 2025, our 10th graders will be attending the annual Career Expo at the Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center in the morning. The purpose of this event is to provide students the opportunity to interact with area business and industry experts and participate in hands-on experiences that demonstrate the skills, strengths, tools, tasks, and traits used in specific careers to foster an awareness of the variety of career options in Greater Mankato and the region and understand what each career involves.

The event will have over 1,500 10th grade students attending from across the region. We are fortunate to be part of this interactive exploration event. Please take time to ask your student about the event and any of the interest inventories through Xello that they have completed.

Are you interested in making an impact to the Mankato West school?

The Mankato West Booster Club has openings for the 2025/2026 school for President, secretary, Raffle coordinator, membership coordinator, and at-large members. We meet monthly for one hour. Over the next month, more information will be posted on the Mankato West Booster Club website.

Please reach out to the current West Booster club president, Cheryl Emery at cbeatyemery@gmail.com for your interest and/or questions.
