Next week is homecoming for our Omaha Nation students. Below are the daily themes for our students to participate in as well as other activities going on.
Due to the weather and the standing water the cross country meet scheduled for tomorrow in South Sioux City has been cancelled.
Mr. Pierce has been working hard to take the middle school students on a college visit to peak their interest in a career. This week he received this letter:
On behalf of EducationQuest Foundation, thank you for applying for an 8th Grace Campus Visit Grant. We had a record number of applicants this year, and I’m pleased to inform you that Omaha Nation Middle School has been selected to receive a grant.
This will allow the 8th grade class to take a class trip to a college this year. Congratulations!!!
The high school has been averaging almost one hundred students in attendance so far this week which is awesome. If you have a friend who is enrolled at the school but has not been coming, We encourage you to have them come. Tomorrow is officially BRING A FRIEND WHO IS ENROLLED AT OMAHA NATION BUT HAS NOT BEEN COMING DAY.
