Due to the high school track meet being cancelled this week we were able to find another meet to replace it on Monday April 7th in North Platte. Events start at 12:30.
Marcia with Creative Printers came to school yesterday to deliver Kid Scoop News to the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students. We all want to say thank you!
It’s been reported by multiple parents with phone plans through Verizon that calls from the school are coming across as SPAM/Blocked. We contacted Verizon to resolve the issue and were advised that it isn’t possible, instead Verizon Customers need to open their Verizon Call Filter App and mark the school’s numbers (308) 636-2252 and (308) 636-2631 as allowed. If you need any assistance, please call Verizon at 1-800-837-4966.
Today we had a young man that came in and read to Mrs. Isom. He is doing a fantastic job with reading. He has worked hard and is accountable for his own success.
Last week we had a group of 6th grade students who had exceptional behavior when a guest teacher in their room for the day. They did an amazing job. They earned RARE Awards from Mrs. Jones for being Respectful and Accountable.
This week marks the start of the 10th Grade's chapter on WWI. To start it, they all chose a flag, at random, and had to fill out a placard that explained their nation's role during WWI.
As we go through the years of WWI, flags will be moved to the different walls of the room based on what alliance they were in at that time.

We had 2 second grade students earn RARE Awards yesterday. They both earned their awards for reading a play and paying attention during class while reading their part or listening to other read. They both did well.
Yesterday we had an entire class earn a RARE Award. The entire class worked very hard during reading class when they had a lot of work to do. Mrs. Klosen was very proud of them.
NO PRACTICES TODAY: Due to the range fire and smoke, we are canceling all practices today after school. Currently the buses are running accordingly.
Last week we had a 4th grade student earn a RARE Award. She is very responsible and brings her work back on time. This week we have had 2 students earn RARE Awards already. One is a first grade student who is responsible. He held the dust pan for another student without being asked. The second student is a third grade student who consistently brings his planner back signed and his folder cleaned out. We have amazing, responsible students.
We are very proud of these young men!
