The National Honor Society and aRiseUp middle school leadership group volunteered at Hearts & Hands Against Hunger in Hastings. We were told we packaged over 14,000 meals or 2,350 bags to be sent across the world for those in need.

Congratulations to our 2026 High School Quiz Bowl team members!

Deshler FFA had a great day at District Welding on Monday in Lincoln. The team captured 2nd place out of 16 teams, qualifying for State Contest.

Gracie, Carson, and Austyn received a perfect score on their welding portion of the contest!

The kindergarten class has been learning different strategies to help them with addition and subtraction. Today, they learned how a number line can be a useful tool when adding and subtracting!

Good luck to the boys' BB team in post-season action at Nelson on TUES.

Congrats to Carlee Hinz who went 1-2 at the State Wrestling Meet. Four years in a row is impressive! Congrats also to our GBB team who wrapped up their season last night in sub-districts at Sutton.

The hours and hours these kids put into their extracurricular activities puts them at the school for often 10-12 hours a day. We are proud of your hard work!

Drawing in early childhood is vital for development, fostering fine motor skills, cognitive growth, and emotional expression. In this small group, students were able to draw Mat Man.

The Class of 2027 needs your help to support their service project. They will be selling tickets on Friday night at the basketball game vs. Lawrence-Nelson for 50/50 raffle. Take home half of the money in the pot if you win! A winner will be announced at halftime of the varsity game.

Connor's Cuddles has been the recipient of their service project fundraising funds over the last 2 years. The juniors hope to continue to support this nonprofit based out of Belleville, KS.

Congratulations to senior Carlee Hinz and best of luck at state!
