Congratulations to these Junior High Honor Roll Students for Quarter 3!

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our Scholastic Book Fair this past week! Your generosity made it possible for every one of our elementary students to receive a book of their own. A special shout-out to The Salvation Army of Broken Bow, Nebraska for their incredible support. Reading is one of the best ways to develop literacy, spark curiosity, and build background knowledge, and we’re so grateful for a community that values the power of books!
