🗳️ YOUR VOTE. YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR FUTURE.

Join Us for the 2026 Kimball Community Political Forum!

Who will be making decisions that affect you, your family, and your community? Come hear directly from the candidates and learn about the issues on your ballot!

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

Nebraska State Legislature — District 48

Kimball Mayor

Kimball City Council

Kimball School Board

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.

📍 Where: The Sagebrush, 615 E. 3rd Street, Kimball, Nebraska
📅 When: Wednesday, October 21, 2026
⏰ Time: 6:00 p.m.
🎟️ Admission: Free; meal available for $15

🇺🇸 Support Our Students. Strengthen Our Community.

This nonpartisan forum is organized by Kimball Jr/Sr High School Senior Civics students as an opportunity to learn about our democratic process, hear from candidates, and better understand the choices voters will make.

Bring a friend, invite your family, and join us for an evening of civic engagement! Come show your support for our students and take an active role in the future of our community.

We hope to see you there!

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!

Come to Mrs. Walker's room, Room 7A at Mary Lynch Elementary during Parent-Teacher Conferences. You can enter a drawing for a gift basket. All you need to do is go through a powerpoint on a computer. This powerpoint is the Annual Meeting for Title I. It is for all parents/guardians of students grades K-6th. It only takes 2-5 minutes and will give you a better understanding of Title I and what Schoolwide Title I is. Hope to see you there!
