Coach Nelson and Mr. Ariza escorted a group of students to watch a Creighton University men's basketball game this past weekend.

Thanks to the administration for helping make this happen.
Mr. Wanning was the celebrity reader for third grade. Thank you to Mrs. Gibson, Mrs. Collins, and Mrs. Kerber for inviting everyone to read to their students.
Congratulations to Taria Wolfe's family!!!
A family from our Shinga Zhinga Child Development Center was selected to take a trip to Washington D.C. for "Strolling Thunder". Strolling Thunder is an event where families and babies go to Capitol Hill to help bring national attention to what babies and families need to thrive. Taria and Cethan Wolfe will head to Washington D.C. to educate members of Congress about why it is important to invest in the first three years of a child’s life. We are excited to have Taria involved in this event. She will advocate for her family, the Umonhon tribe, and the state of Nebraska. This is a big honor for Taria and her family because only one family is selected per state. Safe travels! We are proud of you!
