It was a beautiful day for a Nature Scavenger Hunt at Friday ELITE today! 🍂

Kindergarten has the cutest little pumpkins in the patch!! 🧡 October here we come!!🎃👻🐈‍⬛

Kindergarten had some special furry guests come and visit us after a student filled up their " Longhorn Pride" card! 😃♥️ Thank you, Kimber, for letting us meet a few of your fur babies!🐈🐈‍⬛

Turned the calendar to October 1st today, can you even believe it?! The end of math class this week turned into a spontaneous, clubhouse decorating party. Students had to solve part 1 of the math problem before getting their strips to construct paper chains. (They didn't know what they were for yet.) Ms. Hinton kept adding to the word problem while students constructed--stretching ALL of our thinking 😉 A reading round up break, followed by recess, then we came back in and crafted for the season! All we had was paper and scissors. The only requirement was to use imagination and creativity and clean up the mess when finished. Club H demonstrated the definition of teamwork this afternoon, making their teacher VERY proud 😊👻🎃🦇🕸️ Happy fall y'all!!!

JH Volleyball walks away with 2 wins tonight against Bayard! Keep it rolling, girls! A great day to be a Longhorn! 🏐❤️😊

It was a busy week for Kimball Jr/Sr High School JAG students as we travelled to Chadron to tour Chadron State College. Let's just say the Eagles rolled out the red carpet for JAG students with a tour that included all of Chadron's Majors, a planetarium exhibit and lunch!

Keyanna Alexander and Elaina Sweigard attended a special University of Nebraska-Kearney tour of the campus on 9/28 and then capped off the higher education tour by attending the Governor's Youth Summit on 9/29 hosted by Governor Pillen and to many Nebraska employers to mention. Also in attendance were most Nebraska institutions of higher learning all vying for our students attention. Nebraska and Jobs for America's Graduates are working together to keep Nebraska Grads in Nebraska doing exciting careers!

Check out the menus for Powder Puff Volleyball!

Thanks Dirty Lil Swigs!
