Our High School XC team showed true grit and competitiveness today at the Nemaha Central Meet in Seneca. It rained before and during both races. It was a sloppy, slick, and chilly mess, but our kids did great. Atticus was our top finisher at 14th with a time of 18:41 in the varsity race. Lyle won the JV race with a 19:42. Collin battles through with real shin splints. On the girls side, Nora and Madison were our top finishers at 41st and 42nd in the varsity. Bella was one place out of medaling in the JV race. Atticus, Lyle, Dallas, Angel, Addy, Susy, Aubri, Nora, Bella, and Madison all ran season best times today!

Our High School STUCO Leadership team traveled to Minneapolis HS today to take part in the Regional STUCO Conference. The team was treated to key not speaker Dustin Galyon and then broke out into small groups for more ideas to unite our student body, get ALL our kids involved in community outreach and service projects, and of course come up with new ideas to make our school events more interactive, engaging, fun, and exciting! Their favorite quote from today "Leadership is not about the small world in you, it's about the large world of other people you can help". It's a great day to be a Tiger.

Yesterday, the Industrial Arts program was grateful to have Jim Bohling, Rod Stewart, Kannette Stewart, and Bill Lahodny spend the day helping our students mill lumber.

Their generosity went far beyond their time. They donated logs, equipment, and their expertise to help us produce quality lumber while keeping the cost of our woodworking projects as low as possible. Their willingness to share their resources and knowledge provides our students with valuable hands-on learning experiences that they may not otherwise have the opportunity to experience.

I cannot thank Jim, Rod, Kannette, and Bill enough for their tremendous contribution and continued support of the Industrial Arts program. I also want to thank Hayden E, Karsen, and Gavin for staying after school until late so we could finish milling the last logs. I am blessed to teach at a school where the kids are willing to lend a helping hand until the job is done. I also want to thank the students for helping in this process, and hopefully they learned a bit about milling lumber.

We were able to produce some beautiful ash and hackberry boards, as well as mill pin oak, elm, mulberry, and walnut. We are excited to put this locally sourced lumber to good use in future student projects!

Thank you again for investing your time, resources, and expertise in our students and our program. Your support is truly appreciated!

The Industrial Arts program is incredibly grateful to those who continue to think of our students and invest in their learning. We have been fortunate to receive several thoughtful donations over the past few weeks. A special thank-you to Hayden E. for donating two sanders, and to the Milam family for their generous donation of mirrors, a level, and C-clamps. Our students will put these tools and materials to great use as they develop hands-on skills.
