During the magazine sales fundraiser for the elementary school, Rayden Starke learned he was the winner of $100. With the help of this brother, Brecken, and his mom, Mindie, they decided that half the money would go to his bank account and with the other half they would donate fun chairs to Rayden’s kindergarten class. It was a proud moment when they opened the box and pulled out the chairs.
Kindergarten had a busy Halloween week. First, we were construction workers pounding golf tees into pumpkins and then adding rubber bands to finish them off. Next, we constructed houses for ghosts using blocks. Then,we became engineers that made ghost houses out of toothpicks and candy pumpkins.

3-5 grade attended the local Fire Station during Fire Safety week. Craig Housh and Matt Anderson took the students on a tour of the fire hall, explained how the equipment worked, and what to do in case of a fire or emergency. Remember to check your fire alarms for Fire Safety month!
4th grade was invited by the 8th grade Science class taught by Mr. Rotherham to learn about systems. The 8th graders did a wonderful job through posters and slide shows. Learning and fun was had by all!
4th grade attended a wonderful field trip hosted by the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies. We took a bus to Chadron State Park and met up with Chaley Jensen, the Nebraska Wildlife Education Coordinator. Chaley and her assistant took us for a walk showing the students how to net birds, how to use binoculars, and then how they process, band, and release the birds. This was an extremely informative trip and was enjoyable for all. The 4th grade received a grant to help us learn and build an ecosystem that is friendly to our community and will help beautify our school. We are looking forward to working with Chaley in the future!
