FREE DUAL CREDIT! Incoming sophomore Makenna Freitag didn't meet the age requirements to take SCC classes as a freshman, so she did her research & found Metropolitan Community College offered FREE tuition if you met their requirements - which she did! We are sharing this information out in case there is another HAL student that would like to take advantage of this!
Apply & learn more at: https://www.mccneb.edu/getting-started/secondary-partnerships/kickstart-online

Day 2 of FFA Officer Retreat was jam packed! The day started by finishing the chapter program of activities for the year. The officers are excited for another busy year. The team also identified their strengths as individuals and grouped them into categories to discover their team’s strengths and weaknesses. The afternoon was spent tubing and exploring on the beautiful Niobrara River. In the evening, officers planned a meal and had 10 minutes to shop for it, while staying under budget. They made supper as a group. In the evening, they worked on planning several of the events FFA hosts throughout the year. Day 3 has started at the beautiful Frederick Peak Golf Club in Valentine before we start the treck home.
Band lessons start tomorrow!
THIS FRIDAY...Dragon Youth FB Camp!
🛑 No registration!
🛑 No fees!
Just fundamentals and fun!
Day 1 of FFA Officer Retreat was a blast! Our team hiked the Valentine Wildlife Refuge. They were tasked with taking a photo and then relating that photo to one of the 3 components of the FFA mission: premier leadership, personal growth, and career success. Then, students drew a tree to represent their leadership and FFA journey this year. The roots represented the foundation that has helped them get to this point. The branches are their goals for themselves this year. The fruit or leaves are the outcome they want to have as leaders. These trees were used to make a team vision board they will hang up in the ag room.
The night ended with some healthy competition! Officers competed in a relay to see what responsibilities each officer has on the team. They enjoyed catching up with each other and playing games.
Day 2 started early this morning as students work on the Program of Activities for the year.
