Field Study Day at the Omaha Zoo! 🦍🌿🐠🌵 Our UMÓⁿHOⁿ Nation Public School 5th graders took their exploring skills to a whole new level at the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo! We sharpened our eyes to notice details, stretched our minds to create vivid descriptions, and expanded our understanding by learning about food chains and food webs and how it’s all connected. 🌍 We explored four incredible worlds: 🦍 The Gorillas : strength and family connections 🌧️ The Rainforest :life overflowing with color and sound 🐠 The Aquarium: the power of teamwork and flow 🌵 The Desert : resilience and adaptation That’s some pretty awesome learning! A big shout-out to the amazing Zoo educators for bringing the lessons to life, and to the teachers who made this experience possible. It’s these kinds of experiences that stay with a student for a lifetime. 💫 #UMÓⁿHOⁿNationPublicSchools #DreamBigLiveTall #BeTheBuffalo #FieldStudy #ZooLearning #CuriosityInAction #StudentExplorers #ConnectedByNature

Every home game day, Coach Hudnall and our players take time to read with the elementary students. It is inspiring to see our athletes step up as role models and show our younger Chiefs what leadership, teamwork, and community truly look like. Proud of our team on and off the court! ❤️💙 #ChiefPride #RoleModels #FutureChiefs

🍌 Shoutout to our amazing kitchen team! 🍌

Today, they went above and beyond by writing positive words of encouragement on the bananas for our students! 💛 Not only do they fuel our bodies so we can perform at our best, but they also play a huge role in supporting our students’ emotional well-being.

Thank you for spreading positivity and making a difference every single day — one meal (and one smile!) at a time. We appreciate you! 🙌✨

Law Enforcement has confirmed that the SECURE status is over Transportation routes will begin at 3:30pm. There may be some delays due to the security measures in place and transportation starting late.

2 months ago, Kevin LaHood-Burns

Due to an incident in the community, the school is on SECURE status. School operations remain normal, but entrance security is increased and remain locked and preventing access from in and out of the building. Classes remain normal. Please avoid checking students out early unless totally necessary until law enforcement can confirm that the community is safe.
