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! 🤼♂️🔥
Today is National Substitute Educators Day, and Mary Lynch would like to send our appreciation to the numerous substitute teachers who come in and out of our building. We appreciate you!
🏀 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.

Our sophomores hit the road yesterday for the Career Cabs trip offered in Sidney- an exciting opportunity to explore the wide range of jobs available locally! Students visited multiple workplaces, asked great questions, and learned firsthand what different career paths look like. Trips like these help our students discover their interests, make real -world connections, and take meaningful steps toward choosing the right path- whether that's college, career, or both! We're proud of their curiosity, professionalism, and excitement for their futures! #SophomoreSuccess #CollegeAndCareerReady

🎉 3rd Annual Supermarket Sweep Success! 🛒❤️
Today was one of those days that reminds us just how special our community is. Our 8 Ranches each selected four student representatives to take on the Supermarket Sweep Challenge at Main Street Market — and they showed up ready to race, think fast, and give back.
Chellie Autrey from the Kimball Food Pantry prepared a list of 60 high-need items ahead of time. When our students arrived, each Ranch received the list, a grocery cart, and the all-important countdown… and then they were off! 🏃♂️🏃♀️💨
Teams zig-zagged through the aisles, hunting down every needed item as quickly and accurately as possible. Once all Ranches crossed the finish line, Clean Harbors generously stepped in and purchased every single item - a total of over $1300. The items were then delivered to the Food Pantry — carts full of food and hearts full of pride.
This event continues to be a favorite because it blends competition, teamwork, and service in the best way. Our students had a blast, and our community benefits from their efforts. The Speed Goat Ranch won the event with Callow Cattle and Whispering Winds coming in hot on their trail in 2nd and 3rd place.
A huge THANK YOU to:
✨ Clean Harbors for their incredible generosity
✨ Chellie Autrey and the Kimball Food Pantry team for preparing the list and welcoming our students
✨ Main Street Market for hosting and supporting this event
✨ And our amazing students for representing their Ranches with energy, kindness, and community spirit
Kimball is stronger when we serve together. 💛🐂❤️
