On Thursday, April 25, Elementary HAL students spent the afternoon at the CSC planetarium and geocaching after studying the night sky and orienting this year.
4th graders participated in March BOOK Madness. This year the books were Past Champions vs. Newbies. Our winner was a past champion called Rescue and Jessica: A Life Changing Friendship. It was about a young lady that had both of her legs amputated and how a service dog supported her. See if you agree with us, is this the best book?
Peg Gilbert presented “The Life and Drive of Mari Sandoz” to 4th and 5th graders. They had read “Mari Sandoz A Wild Flower” by Evelyn B Hisel earlier this year. Peg dressed as Mari and talked of the hardships and challenges of the Sandhills, as well as, Mari’s accomplishments as an author. Peg’s presentation was brought to us by Humanities Nebraska. Humanities Nebraska provides major funding for programs. Humanities Nebraska receives support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Nebraska State Legislature, the Nebraska Cultural Endowment and private donations.
Our kindergarten and first grade students teamed up with 7th and 9th grade math students to participate in some Leap Day challenges! Challenges included measuring how far a frog can jump, building a shelter with base-10 blocks with a value of 366, and graphing, just to name a few!
Today, with the help of Mrs. Olsen’s cupcakes, 4th graders celebrated Nebraska’s 157th birthday…a day early!

Today(Feb. 22) is our 100th day of school this year! For those of you who have not experienced the 100th Day with us before, the entire Elementary eats breakfast with their class instead of before school. Breakfast today was a sausage link (for the 1) and two pancakes (for the two zeros)!
4th graders got to try their hand at hand sewing. They each made a quilt sampler with their favorite part of the Oregon Trail. Thank you to the ladies from the sewing club who came to help out.
Yesterday the Freshmen paired up with the First grade and Kindergarten classes to spread a little holiday cheer. They made reindeer food, played cards, and read stories together.
