Last week, our 6th-grade students had an incredible opportunity to collaborate with our arts integration program and the Lied Center of Lincoln, exploring how creativity can be woven into everyday learning.

To make the experience even more special, students worked alongside Heather Henson, daughter of Jim Henson, the visionary creator of the Muppets, who shared her expertise and inspired our students in unforgettable ways.

It was amazing to see their creativity come to life! Experiences like this remind us just how powerful the arts can be in helping students express themselves, think differently, and grow with confidence.

🍀 St. Patrick’s Day Bluestem Special 🍀

Corned beef & cabbage… but make it irresistible 😏
Served up with baby potatoes, carrots & onions—and yes, we’re throwing in a sweet treat because we’re nice like that.

Never had it before? What are you even doing??
This is the kind of meal people think about later. The kind you suddenly crave at random. The kind we could eat once a month and not get tired of.

Go on… treat yourself. You deserve it. 🍀

On February 23, 2026, students interested in the Health and Human Services Pathway participated in a site visit at the Woodbury County 911 Communication Center. During their visit, students had the unique opportunity to listen to active 911 calls and observe firsthand how emergency communication professionals respond in real time.

Students learned that the CPR skills they are developing will be especially valuable in emergency situations. Dispatchers often need to guide callers through performing CPR until first responders arrive, highlighting the importance of remaining calm, knowledgeable, and clear under pressure.

The Woodbury County 911 Communication Center answers local and surrounding emergency calls and coordinates response efforts by dispatching the Sheriff’s Office, local law enforcement, fire departments, ambulances, and air rescue services when needed. This experience provided students with a deeper understanding of the critical role emergency dispatchers play in saving lives and supporting the community.
