This Thursday, 7-12 students had the opportunity to join a handful of Mental Health and Career Exploration activities following our winter MAP testing.
National Honor Society members planned and organized the afternoon. Sessions included coding and drones, STEM projects, a healthy snack station, and two sessions provided by volunteers.
Tara Niles (The Alternative in Cozad) and Patty Bean (well.being) offered a sound bath session for relaxation. Rachel Gentzler offered a session on breath work for stress management. Both of these sessions also provided an opportunity for students to see some less conventional career paths.
A huge thank you to these volunteers for their time and willingness to provide our students with new opportunities! Another thank you to NHS for their work and desire to serve their peers by planning this afternoon!
Unfortunately, we weren't able to get pictures from every session, but there are a few shared with us from the sound bath.

For letter 'C', PreK met the character Cookie and author Yvette Mannon this past week. She shared both of her books about Cookie with us and let us pet Cookie!
Yvette is becoming a familiar face around EF with regular visits to various classrooms and participating in our Literacy Night earlier this year. We appreciate her sharing her stories, time, and beloved Cookie with us!
🚨 TIME CHANGE: There will be no girls JV basketball tomorrow and only 2 quarters of boys JV starting at 5:00.

Out of an abundance of caution and as part of our ongoing commitment towards transparency, we are reaching out to let you know about a cyber security incident. Eustis-Farnam Public Schools learned on Tuesday, January 7, 2025 that PowerSchool, a global student information system provider used by Eustis-Farnam and many other districts across the country, was the target of a cybersecurity incident discovered on Saturday, December 28, 2024. We have been informed that some staff and student data from our school and other schools was downloaded by an unauthorized user, and an analysis is being done by PowerSchool on the type of information accessed.
PowerSchool has told us the situation has been contained, and they have taken actions to prevent the information from being used. If there are any important updates, we will notify you.
Nick Hodge, Superintendent
There will be NO SCHOOL for EFPS on Monday, January 6th due to weather and road conditions. No practices or activities.
CALENDAR UPDATE:
Tomorrow's home basketball games in Eustis will be played as follows:
Girls JV @ 2:30
Boys Varsity @ 3:30
Girls Varsity @ 5:00
Today we honored our 2nd Quarter CHARGE Students and Mentors. These students were recognized for their RESPECTFUL behavior here at school!
A wonderful thing about being a PK-12 school is the many opportunities for relationships. We have a number of high school students who volunteer to meet with a mentee from the elementary grades once a week. These older students serve as mentors, leaders, and safe places for our younger students by helping with homework, talking about problems, or just playing a game!
A big thank you to all of our mentors for their time and willingness to meet with younger students!
Congratulations to our last Noble Knights of 2024!
Ralston R, Cheyenne C, Beckett K, and Rowdy M
