🧷 Round 1 update from NSAA Girls' State Wrestling Tournament:
Carlee Hinz with the PIN!
The Thayer Co. Spelling Bee has been rescheduled to Monday, Feb. 24th at the Thayer County Activities Center on the county fairgrounds in Deshler. Please note the location change due to the courthouse being unavailable.
The event will run at the regularly scheduled time. The 5th/6th graders will start at 9:00 AM with the 7th/8th grade to follow (plan for approximately 10-10:15 AM).
Our plan is to use the 4-H room for the Spelling Bee and the American Legion Room for grading/administration of the event. Park on the south side of the building for best access.

Deshler JH boys will not be participating in today's JH BBB tournament in Nelson due to icy road conditions.
DPS Kindergarteners are teaming up with the 4th graders to earn some AR points and work towards their goals! The 4th graders read to the Kindergarteners and then helped them take their AR tests. When they were done, the Kindergarteners showed off their reading talents by reading to the 4th graders!
Advanced Algebra and Geometry students were challenged with sequence and pattern puzzles today in class as we discussed Mathematics around the world. Students used numbers, colors, and shapes to determine the solutions to the different puzzles.
