We met with the Senior basketball players this morning to see what we could do since the last game was cancelled. We have decided that we will honor the senior basketball players and parents during Coronation. We would like to thank the Coronation committee for offering to do this.
The Girls Basketball team will take on Mitchell in the first round of sub-districts at Chadron Stare College. Tip off is at 5:00 pm CT.
The basketball games with North Central have been cancelled. We looked at several different options to try to get one last home game for our seniors but we just couldn’t get it to work.
Due to board policy we are unable to have our games tonight. We are working to see what we can do to get a game scheduled for our senior night. We will continue to work on this today.

Today, at PTC, the elementary administered a parent survey. If you weren't able to make it to conferences or didn't have time to fill out the survey while there, please follow this link and complete this survey. It is only for parents of an elementary student--only one person per household needs to complete the survey. Thank you!

VES celebrated 100 days of school last week. Kindergarten had so much fun rotating to different stations that all had the theme of 100!




Some of our badger paw recipients this week! The focus this week was on keeping things clean, especially our hallway. Your students are bringing things home from their cubby/shelf area. It’s a good weekend to give the winter coat, hat, and mittens a good wash while kids play in the beautiful weather this weekend!

Every year, Valerie comes to school to help predict the weather. She feels she does a better job than some little ground hog in Pennsylvania. As you can see, she saw her shadow, but... she is a day early. Happy Groundhog's Day from 2C!
