Senior 'Sneak' Field Trip
Last Wednesday, the Seniors and their sponsors went on their Senior 'Sneak' trip. We started by eating breakfast at Tornado Alley before heading to Holdrege where we visited the Nebraska Prairie Museum before heading to Grand Island to the Trampoline Park. Of course, we had to eat an early dinner at Texas Roadhouse too before heading home!
Graduation is in 10 days and the Seniors have less than 1 week left of High School!










Excited to announce a great opportunity for our kids to take their skillset to the next level by bringing in one of the best basketball skill trainers in the Midwest, Shane Hennen! He's been a skills trainer for 7 years. You can check out his social media @hennen_workouts. This is for ALL girls and boys in grades 5th-8th of the 2023-24 school year. This will be a 2 day camp on June 16th & 17th. Forms have been sent home with the students. Any questions, please contact Coach Blackmore.
