Kindergarten through 12th grade students and staff gathered this morning in celebration at our first Quarterly Assembly. The purpose of this assembly was to recognize the accomplishments of students during the first quarter of this school year. We kicked off the assembly with a student vs. teacher game of Hula Hoop Rock Paper Scissors. The teams were the Fifth Grade Class and the High School Teachers. The teachers ended up winning this competition! First Quarter Super Pass recipients were recognized at this time. The middle level and high school students who received Super Passes are: Jaiden Anderson, Hannah Hoos, Bailey Scherbarth, James Scherbarth, Gabe Varvel, Joce Varvel, RyLee Wolken, Noah Kelly, and Ava McKillip.
The PBIS Leadership Team presented a short skit, “The LIfe of a Hawk Buck” showing the journey a Hawk Buck makes once it is awarded to a student caught SOARing.
To wrap up the celebration there was a drawing for invitations to the Breakfast of Champions. At the end of each quarter all Hawk Bucks are entered into this drawing. 10% of Hawk Bucks for each grade level group are drawn. Students earning invitations to the first Breakfast of Champions on October 23rd are:

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!
