Conservation Festival
On Tuesday, May 4th, the fifth graders attended the Conservation Festival in Chadron hosted by UWNRD. Students visited 8 different presenters who set up hands-on stations to teach about conservation. A few of the stations students experienced were the GPS Scavenger Hunt, Weed Watchers, Migratory Birds Game, Tree Cookies, and always a favorite, the Water Rockets. We had a great day and learned more about how to protect our valuable natural resources. A few students take-aways from the day:
*I learned about aquifers and how water flows through.
*I learned that it is hard for birds to migrate.
*I learned that peeling bark off trees is bad.
*I learned how to use a GPS.
*I learned about different noxious weeds in Nebraska.
*I learned how weeds spread.
*I learned that tree rings will grow bigger if it is healthy.

Elders’ Wisdom Program 2020
Due to health concerns, especially among our older community members, we have decided to try something a little different this year with the Elders’ Wisdom program. We are going to move the program to August 20th, the Thursday before Friendly Festival. We hope this will lead to a larger turnout and hopefully will have better weather for visiting family members. Thank you all for your understanding and cooperation!
Family Math Night
100 Day Breakfast
In order to help celebrate the 100th day of school, the elementary was invited to a special breakfast. The elementary teachers cooked sausages and pancakes for the kids and helped serve. Why sausages and pancakes? Well, if you lay one sausage link on your tray and put one pancake next to it and another pancake next to that one, you have the number “100”!
