Boys Basketball with a 65-46 win over Conestoga in the first round of the NCC Tournament!
Mustang wrestling was at the conference tourney today. The girls finished 5th and the boys 2nd. It was a great day of wrestling capped off with a huge throw by Owen K. with mere seconds to go in the final match of the tournament to help secure one of our individual championships.
Viewer Discretion but coolness alert as well. Anatomy Class was dissecting sheep hearts. This is so relevant and relatable. What a lesson. Great job Mrs. Aylward.

The Junior High Student Council is hosting our very first Wish Week next week! We are partnering with Nebraska Make-A-Wish to raise funds to create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Our district goal is to collect over $1,000.
The 7th and 8th grade dance will kick off the event with a portion of the proceeds going to Nebraska Make-A-Wish on Friday, January 24.
Next week (January 27-30) the elementary buildings will team up against the junior/senior high building to see who can bring the most money for a coin drive. Donations can be dropped off in the building offices.
We will also have a donation jar out at the athletic events on January 26, 31, and February 1. There will also be a QR code for online donations. Posters for the coin drive & QR code are attached to this email.
All proceeds from the coin drive and QR code will go to Nebraska Make-A-Wish.
Thank you for supporting our first Make-A-Wish event and making it a success!
