Thank you Mavericks for representing us all in and out of the classroom!
This young man is very helpful and considerate. He helped a classmate clean up after she spilled food on herself at lunch. He was very sweet to her. He received a RARE award for being Responsible and Empathetic. Very Nice!
On Tuesday December 12 our Meal Service and Food Operations was audited by the Nebraska Department of Education Coordinated Student Support Services. The Inspection went smoothly, but one change we are required to make is how we process 2nd and 3rd helpings during meal service.
Historically both free and chargeable items were made available to students through the kitchen. Per State guidelines, we are required to charge for all food items taken from the kitchen. Like before, students will be permitted to make multiple trips to our Fruit & Veggie Bar at no additional cost.
This was explained to students in attendance this past Tuesday and Wednesday. Second helpings are .75c and thirds are $1.00. If a student takes multiple items from the kitchen in one trip, this will be considered as a 2nd and 3rd helping.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know, we will be happy to answer them! As a friendly reminder Free and Reduced Meal Applications are available in the office and can be mailed or emailed upon request. If you are unsure if you would qualify, we encourage you to fill an application out. Most people are not aware that free and reduced numbers help our school with financial aid.
Today we had a young lady in the 6th grade earn a RARE award. Her teacher said that she always makes good choices when she is waiting or finished with her work. She also makes sure all her work is done on time. Great Job!

The students continue to have school spirit. Tomorrow is Flannel day.
The 7th Grade Career Exploratory class has been working feverishly on their final project of the semester.
Their mission was to choose a career that they are interested in, and then research the following:
*Education and/or training needed
*Potential salary
*Appropriate work attire
*Tools or equipment used
*Special skills needed
They have also evaluated their own strengths and weaknesses and were to apply these to this particular career. What are they already good at that could help them in this field? What do they need to work on?
The students could then choose whether to present this information in report form, a google slide presentation, or a poster.
For bonus points, they were encouraged to interview someone in their chosen career.
Don't forget... The Senior Auction is tonight! The baskets will be displayed in the commons area, and will be available for bidding by silent auction. The live auction for the work teams will be during halftime of the girls varsity game.
Come out, cheer on the Mavs, and support the Class of 2025!!!
This young lady earned a RARE award for being kind and helpful to her friends. Mrs. January presented her with this award for being empathetic. Great job!
