🗳️ YOUR VOTE. YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR FUTURE.

The Senior Civics students at Kimball Jr/Sr High School invite the entire community to attend the 2026 Kimball Community Political Forum on Wednesday, October 21, at 6:00 p.m. at The Sagebrush!
This is your opportunity to hear from candidates, learn about the issues, and become a more informed voter before Election Day. Whether you are a first-time voter, a longtime voter, or simply interested in what is happening in our community and state, your voice matters, and being informed is the first step!
🎤 Meet the Candidates
Candidates attending will represent a variety of local, county, state, and congressional offices, including:
U.S. House of Representatives — District 3

County offices
📋 More Than Just Candidates!
Our Senior Civics students will also present information about the other issues appearing on the ballot, including propositions, constitutional amendments, and citizen initiatives.
These decisions affect Nebraskans across the state, not just those living in Kimball. Come learn what these measures mean and why they matter!
🍽️ Make It a Night Out!
A meal will be available for $15 per person, featuring a pulled pork sandwich, two salads, and coffee or tea.

Kimball High School Welding class is in need of your help!!
Welding students are in need of donations and project ideas!! Why not get rid of old metal that you've been hanging onto by donating it to the high school for students to practice their welding?
If anyone has scrap metal lying around that is usable please help your local agriculture students out! Mainly what is needed for small projects includes horseshoes, horseshoe nails, washers, and round steel rods, but any donations including square tubing, angle iron, pipe and any other metal that is usable you want to get rid of is accepted!
It is also project season and the students need ideas! If you want something built and just do not have the time or need something fixed please let us know!
These students are willing and in need of hands on welding experience and real life situations to improve their skills and knowledge.
If you or anyone you know can donate to the welding class or has project ideas please let us know it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your continued efforts within the community to support your local high school agriculture program and giving these children the opportunity for real hands on learning!
