A look at NOVEMBER...there won't be a weekly reminder next week, so we are covering the month of November in this post! Good luck to our JH wrestling/BB teams starting their seasons this week & our HS athletes who are starting conditioning! Next week, the JH/HS quiz bowl & one act competitions begin!
Changes/Updates:
👉 Monday: Arlis' route will make a stop in Hebron before her Chester + Byron drop offs, so drop off times may be altered some!
👉 The music students are selling Jumping Monkey coffee & the HOSA students are taking 4-pack holiday orders as well as selling at Saturday's JH GBB game in Deshler at 10 AM - support our students & your caffeine habits at the same time!
👉 HS sports conditioning starts on MONDAY! We are asking ALL JH/HS PARENTS to attend our NSAA meeting at 8 PM on Nov. 19th in the gym!
👉 School board meetings have been moved to 6:30 pm for the fall/winter season - congrats to new school board member Scott Befort & thank you to Ryan Buescher for his years of service on the board!
👉 TUE, NOV 10TH: Jrs & undecided seniors need BUSINESS CASUAL dress for the College Fair at the fairgrounds
👉 THU, NOV 19TH: We are asking all coaches + JH/HS players/parents to attend our NSAA mtg in the gym on this night at 8 pm
👉 TUE, NOV 24TH: While we are getting out at 2 pm, we are going to run a REGULAR SCHEDULE on this date, and students will check into 6th prd & then go to the gym with you. We will NOT have prds 6/7/8 or HR on this date. Also on this date, we will have our MTSS parent mtg in Mrs. K. Schardt's room so we need YOUR response to our parent perceptual survey (another reminder coming!) - please fill out the survey only once PER FAMILY.

The NSAA is launching a one-year pilot program giving Nebraska high school students (grades 9-12) hands-on experience creating sports and activities video content at select state championship events. Selected creators will receive NSAA orientation and media training, event credentials, and the chance to post content on NSAA’s official social channels — plus the ability to use their work in personal portfolios.
Danica submitted a portfolio and two letters of reference in order to be selected and will attend orientation on Wednesday, November 11th in Lincoln.
Congratulations, Danica!

This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Mrs. Amber Johnson, our 6th–12th grade intervention teacher! ✏️✨
Mrs. Johnson plays an important role in helping our middle and high school Dragons navigate challenges, build skills, and find success in their learning. By meeting students where they are, offering extra support, and encouraging them to keep growing, she helps remind our students that everyone’s path to success looks a little different! We’re grateful for the patience, encouragement, and dedication Mrs. Johnson brings to our school community.
Thank you for helping our Dragons build confidence, overcome obstacles, and continue to Challenge, Grow, and Excel! 💜💛🐉
