KNIGHTS UNITE RECAP:
Knights Unite: A Day of Service was held on Thursday, April 24. This event was formerly known as "Sod House Day" but in recent years has been revamped as a day of community service and is now titled as such.
Our 6-12th grade students spent the morning in various community service projects across both Eustis and Farnam, giving back to the communities that support them in their many activities.
We then had student volunteers and community volunteers band together to create a fun afternoon for our elementary students to learn about all the different ways that community members serve. A huge shout out goes out to our many volunteers and donors who made today possible.
Mrs. Rexing deserves an abundance of thanks as it takes an incredible amount of planning and organization to pull off a day like this and have it go smoothly.
We are so proud of the work that our students and staff put in to give back to their communities!

Tuesday, 7-11th graders spent the morning MAPS testing. Everyone either hit benchmark or their growth goal and was awarded a trip to the Fox Theatre in Cozad thanks to the EF Booster Club. Thanks for a great day, students, teachers, admin, Fox, and Booster for making it happen!
9th graders attended the South Central Career Fair in Holdrege today.
🏫They learned from Education Quest that pathways to careers can include apprenticeships, college diplomas, and certifications.
🧮UNL Extension helped them to make the connection between STEM and careers and career clusters.
🔬Reps from the Banisters Leadership Academy organization challenged students to have courage as they invented something new from an everyday item and create a sales pitch.
🕴️Finally, they visited several business booths to learn more about job opportunities in our area.
