Congratulations to this week's students who CHARGED into Reading!

The 10th-12th grade students attended a Career Exploration Day in Kearney today where they learned about various careers. In addition, they sat in on a panel of professionals who shared learning curves, career paths, and the importance of developing soft skills for the work place. Favorites that students mentioned were the military arms, the helicopter, truck simulator, and the booths specific to programs of study like art and pre-law.

Congratulations to this week's ⚔️ Noble Knights ⚔️ Students were honored for many noble traits such as persistence, kindness, responsibility, and hard work.

A big thank you to Darr Feedlot South for allowing Mrs. Rexing’s ag math classes to tour the facilities today! 👏 Shout out to Garhett and Scott Nielsen for taking the time to discuss the feedlot with the students, and to all the employees (and family!) who welcomed us in. The students got to observe the flow of a well-run operation and even stepped out some measurements for their next project — creating their own to-scale blueprints for a feedlot of their own. Our community continues to be incredibly supportive of our hands-on adventures that bring real-world math to life. We can’t thank you enough! 🙌🐄📏

The National Honor Society organized an assembly focused on how 7-12th grade students can get involved with service and other activities at school and in the community.

Big congrats to the students who earned a book from the vending machine this week! It's the best feeling watching those big smiles as you pick out your next great read. Keep it up — you're rocking it! And remember... 📚 Reading isn't just the reward — it's the adventure!

Apply2College Day is always an emotional rollercoaster of an event for EF seniors! Excitement, anticipation, uncertainty, bitter-sweet, overwhelm, anxiety, happiness, relief, ..... the list goes on. This group got so much done. There favorite parts of the day may have been playing volleyball, coffee, and pizza, but they did admit it was a relief to be so productive. Each senior completed at least three college admissions applications which gets them in the running for many freshmen scholarships at those colleges, FAFSA IDs in hand, many got their portion of the FAFSA done, resumes updated, and several other college and career prep tasks. They finished the day off by sharing with the sixth graders their future plans and wisdom- Listen and respect your teachers, don't procrastinate, study and get the best grades you can, and get involved were just a few. A special thanks to the UNK and UNL admissions reps who attended to help us out. It was a great day to be a Knight!

Mrs. Rexing’s Ag Math class has been busy this week exploring how technology supports the ranching world. Students used onX maps to analyze pastures and calculate how many cow-calf pairs could graze for a set period of time. Along the way, they worked through “what if” scenarios, best- and worst-case situations, and discussed how management decisions can impact both cattle and the land. In the end, students agreed that following best practices is always the top priority!

Congratulations to this week's 🛡 Noble Knights 🛡
