Great games by both varsity basketball teams tonight!
Lady Chiefs hold off a second half comeback by Bancroft-Rosalie to secure a 67-55 win.
Chief boys end up on the wrong side of an absolute classic that went to overtime, 90-85. Dason Romo and Akesha Starlin both put up heroic efforts on both sides of the floor in the loss. Romo puts up 40 points and Starlin poured in 14. Red Eagle Grinnell-Lovejoy also chipped in 14, and Kane Sheridan 12.
Both teams will be back in action Thursday at home against Winnebago.

Students in 7th grade are learning about how to select tables that show a proportional relationship between x and y. To select tables showing a proportional relationship, students should calculate the ratio of \(y\) to \(x\) for each row; if the ratio is constant (the same for every row), the table shows a proportional relationship. An alternative check is to see if the relationship can be expressed as \(y=kx\), where \(k\) is a constant, and the table must also include the point \((0,0)\).

Public Notice: Transportation, Rural Pickups, and In-Town Pickups
Please be advised that our school transportation drivers will use their professional discretion when completing student pickups. In some locations—particularly rural properties—drivers may only be able to park and wait at the end of driveways. We kindly ask families to watch for the school vehicle at these locations.
Due to the roads remaining ice-covered, pickup and drop-off times may be affected both before and after school. Delays are possible as drivers take extra precautions to ensure the safety of all passengers.
To further support student safety, we would greatly appreciate if younger students are escorted to the school vehicle, especially when surfaces are slippery, to help prevent falls.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work to keep all students safe.

Important Transportation Reminder
The safety of our students is our top priority. To help us make sure every child gets home safely each day, please note the following transportation guidelines:
· Students can only be picked up or dropped off at their regular stop.
· We cannot drop students off at a different location unless arrangements have been made ahead of time.
· If you’d like your child to be picked up or dropped off at another address that’s already on a bus route, please contact the front desk or the Director of Transportation to make those arrangements.
· Please do not contact your child’s teacher to request changes.
Without prior approval, your child will be brought to their regular stop. These rules are in place to keep everyone safe and to make sure each student is reunited with their parent or guardian at the end of the day.
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe!

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. 💫
