Happy Thanksgiving!
More balloon creations!
After reading "Balloons Over Broadway: The True Story of the Puppeteer of Macy's Parade" by Melissa Sweet, the Kindergarten and 1st Grade students began to plan and build parade balloons of their own. Today, they marched through the hallways with their creations while the other grades watched from the sides.

Friday ELITE today: Popcorn Science! 🍿 We did a dancing popcorn experiment using baking soda and vinegar. Then the kids got to make popcorn in the microwave 😋
The Jr. High wrestlers showed up and worked hard today in Morrill! Great job, boys! 🤼♂️🔥
🏀 Junior High Basketball Update!
Our Longhorns traveled to Ogallala tonight and played with heart across all teams!
✨ A Team brought home a great win!
💪 B Team came up short but fought an incredibly tough game.
📈 C Team continues to grow—lots of great experience gained on the court tonight!
Proud of our athletes and the effort they bring every game. Keep it up, Longhorns! 🤘
A fun, hands-on treat that was just as adorable as it was delicious! From cookies to candy (and of course some frosting), Kindergarten loved building their own turkey snacks to enjoy today! 😊🦃💛🍁
In Kindergarten, we’ve been learning all about how things change over time! From record players to MP3s, typewriters to computers, rotary phones to cell phones, and ink pots to pencils! Our learners loved seeing how the tools we use have grown and changed! The biggest hit? Practicing how to dial on a real rotary phone! ☎️ Watching their faces as they spun the dial was pretty great...of course followed by lots of questions! 😊
Today is a special day for the Longhorn family as we celebrate Addy Olson and her commitment to compete at the next level!
Addy’s journey has been defined by leadership, resilience, and an unwavering work ethic. She sets the standard in our programs—showing up every day determined to improve, lifting up the people around her, and competing with heart in everything she does. Her dedication on and off the court has made this milestone truly well-earned.
We are incredibly proud of Addy and can’t wait to see all she achieves in the next chapter of her athletic career.
Congratulations, Addy!
Once a Longhorn, Always a Longhorn.
