Thanks to the small bunch that came to our end of the year get together for our Arapahoe TeamMates Chapter. We had a very good year and established some new activities. We are always looking for positive role models to become mentors to our students. If you would like to become a mentor, please go to www.teammates.org and click on "Become A Mentor". If you have any questions, please call Mr. Perez (308) 962-5458

Having fun at 5th/6th Picnic in the Park!
Our year in 3rd Grade! Thank you to all the students and families who have made this year a blast!
The cast has auditioned and been chosen for One Stoplight Town, a story about people from a town so small that you might drive through without taking a second look. ... filled with fun characters, lots of humor, plenty of heart and the theme that change comes for us all, whether we are ready or not.
At Elementary Awards Day, Mrs. Helms recognized our Elementary Quiz Bowl team, Invention Convention participants, and those who competed at the Furnas County Spelling Bee.
Way to represent our school Warriors!

Grace Andrews
Arapahoe had a great showing at the JH State Track Meet in Gothenburg on Saturday. The Girls 4x4 of Grace Andrews, Ruby McCune, Sawyer Shafer, and Desi Farner placed 6 out of 16 qualifying teams from all classes across Nebraska. They ran a 4:21.67 which bested the old record of 4:24 by nearly 3 seconds. The old record of 4:24 had been held by Carley Polston, Kaylea Watson, Stephanie Paulsen, and Rochelle Wendland since 2010.
Grace Andrews also placed 10th and 13th in the 1600m (5:35) and 800m (2:33) respectively. She shattered her previous 1600m record set a few weeks ago by 8 seconds!
Maybe we will see some of these girls at Burke next year in Omaha!
Another great day for Elementary Field Day!! Thank you to all the teachers for helping get kids to where they needed to be. Thank you to all the parents for coming out and cheering these kids on. So cool to watch all of them compete today. Thank you to all the HS kids that came back to help today and the JH kids that filled in where I needed them. Today doesn't work without ALL of you and your help. Thank you!! The track was fast today as there were numerous records broke today.

Utilizing those thinking skills at lunch!
Things got a little "crazy" in the art room today! 🧑🏼🎨🎨 6th grade students learned about artist Jackson Pollock and the Abstract Expressionism Movement, then worked as a group to create an "Action Painting" inspired by Pollock! Luckily, hardly any paint got on the floor or on the students😊😅
