Three seniors have more to add to their resumes! Conner Johnson, Danica O'Neal, and Landyn Tuma have all been nominated for the 2026-27 NSAA Believers and Achievers Award at the state level. Wish them luck as they compete to be one the 48 chosen in the state of Nebraska to receive this prestigious award!

The Nebraska School Activities Association (NSAA) and Currency are proud to sponsor Believers & Achievers, a statewide awards program, recognizing Nebraska’s future leaders. The program honors high school students in Nebraska for their excellence in academics, participation in NSAA activities
and their commitment to citizenship, school involvement and their community.
48 high school seniors will be selected as the statewide Believers & Achievers winners by Currency and the NSAA. These individuals will be showcased on a poster sent to all NSAA member schools, presented with an award at an NSAA Championship event and invited to a banquet celebrating their achievements, during which Currency will announce eight $1000 scholarship winners.

Students must have at least a 3.50 GPA and participate in NSAA sponsored activities in order to be eligible for nomination. From there, staff vote on the students who they fill represent this award through:

- Scholastic achievement
- NSAA activity participation
- School involvement
- Community involvement
- Citizenship.

Congratulations to these three DPS seniors!

In this preschool activity, students had the opportunity to sort erasers using tweezers. Sorting and classifying help preschoolers build critical thinking, early math, and language skills by teaching them to notice similarities and differences.

🌟 STAFF SPOTLIGHT: ANDY BRENN 🌟

If you ever needed help with your computer, found yourself in the weight room, checked out a book, or survived Jr. High P.E., chances are you’ve crossed paths with Andy Brenn! 😂

Andy wears a LOT of hats at Deshler Public Schools, serving as our Tech Specialist, Media Specialist, Weights Instructor, and Jr. High P.E. Teacher. 💻📚🏋️‍♂️🏃‍♂️ But there’s more to Andy than his many roles around the school! Our Staff Spotlight gives you a chance to learn some of the fun facts, interests, and lesser-known details that make each member of our school family unique.

We’re thankful for all the ways Andy helps keep our school running, supports our students and staff, and brings his own unique energy to Deshler Public Schools! 💜💛

Thanks for all you do, Andy! 🐉
