Our fifth grade students recently attended the SAC museum for a fun day of learning. Thank you to all of the chaperones and teachers for organizing the field experience for our students.

Last week, the elementary celebrated Read Across America, and the birthday of Dr. Seuss. The students enjoyed guest readers, building reading stamina, and reading with students from the opposite elementary hallway.
Thank you to all of the parents/guardians that showed for conferences last week! We had a great turnout, and heard more about our JAG Nebraska programming. If you were unable to attend, please feel free to schedule a time with teachers for an update on student progress.
Coach Nelson and Mr. Ariza escorted a group of students to watch a Creighton University men's basketball game this past weekend. The basketball players who finished the season and students from our new IJAG program were able to watch history being made when Mitch Ballock of CU was 11 for 12 from the three-point line. 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!
