Middle School Families,
As we head into the final stretch of the school year, we want to remind everyone just how important it is to be at school each and every day. These last weeks are filled with valuable learning, chances to improve grades, and meaningful time with teachers and friends. Every day your student is present helps build the skills and confidence they need for success—now and in the future.
To make things even more exciting, we've launched a special attendance incentive! Students with strong or improved attendance from April 14 to May 21 will earn entries into a grand prize drawing for awesome items like a PlayStation 5, AirPods Pro, and an iPad. The more days they're here, the more chances they'll have to win!
We appreciate your partnership in helping students finish the year strong. If there's anything we can do to support your child's attendance, don't hesitate to reach out. 402-494-3061
Let's show up, work hard, and end the school year on a high note!
Go Cards!

2025 Tolerance Week Winner
Yaretzi Curiel-Perez won this year's Tolerance Week Essay Contest with her poem "Throughout the Ashes." Her poem was chosen out of hundreds of student entries from the Siouxland area. Congrats, Yaretzi!
Throughout the Ashes
The world was bright,the sky
was blue
Before they came
and took us too
Mom cried while father prayed
But no one came, no hand was laid
They packed us tight in
Mental trains,
Faces pale and full of pain
No space to breathe, no room
to stand
Holding tight to mom’s hand
The air was cold, the ground
Was stone
I've never felt so alone,
they cut my hair, they stole
my name
To them we all just look the same
The days were long the
nights were worse
Every breath I took, I
feared the worse
But I won't break, I won't let go
Through fire and ash my hope
Still grows
One day soon, this war will end
And I will walk free, I will ascend
The stars will shine,
the world still turns
Through homes are lost,though
Hearts will burn
I'll tell my story, I will stand,
A mark of hope upon this land

Congratulations to our Middle School Students of the Month!
We are so proud of these incredible students who are setting a beautiful example for their peers by choosing kindness, working hard, and making choices their future selves will be proud of.
Middle school can be a tough time—there's so much learning, growing, and discovering who you are. That’s why it’s such an achievement to stay true to your values and lead with heart.
👏 Let’s celebrate these students for their resilience, positivity, and leadership. Keep shining—you inspire us all! ❤️

The algebra and geometry students celebrated Pi Day by learning how Pi was discovered. They were given several circles to choose from and had to measure the circumference and the diameter. They had to figure out how to measure these with very little guidance. The geometry students did the same activity last year. This year they were able to use their geometry skills with their compass and straightedge to get more accurate measurements.
