Today K-5 students had a visit from the Eustis Fire Department to learn more about fire prevention and safety. Thank you to the volunteer firefighters for all they do year round for our community, and for taking the time to talk to the kids today!
All seven of the seniors from Eustis-Farnam Applied to College on Wednesday, October 11, 2023. College representatives from MPCC, UNL, and UNK were in attendance to assist in the application process and give general information and insight on their colleges and the scholarship process. Donuts, Coffee Tree drinks, and pizza kept them energized to successfully submit a total of 24 applications, continue on their scholarship searches, submit scholarship applications, create FAFSA accounts, and create or update their resumes. Thank you to everyone who made the day a success. The seniors are feeling relieved and motivated to keep moving towards graduation day!
Kindergarten has been working on rules and laws in our community and at school, we use the acronym ROCKS to help us remember our rules at school. We also have been talking how community members work together. As a school community we worked together with the seniors to talk about how we can show “ROCKS” in the hall, cafeteria and on the playground. The kids had a great time and loved working together while learning!

And this doesn't include all those who donated to get books into the hands of children that otherwise wouldn't have had that opportunity. Thank you all for your generosity and your support!

You may notice that we turn comments off on many of our posts. This is not because we do not want your feedback! We try to do this on our posts because unfortunately, school pages are popular sites for scammers to spam posts with links.
In an effort to protect our patrons- we most often turn off commenting to prevent these links being shared on our page. If you do see a link posted in our comments that doesn't come from a school account, please DO NOT click it.
Thank you!
