On Tuesday, the McPherson County yearbook class conducted yearbook ad sales in North Platte. Appreciation is expressed to the businesses that listened to their pitches and backed their efforts.
On January 12th, McPherson County High School partnered with McPherson County, Logan County and Custer County Sheriff's Departments and worked on Standard Response Protocol (SRP) as these departments used working K-9s through our school. This also helped these departments to become familiar with our school layout in case of an emergency. The Junior high and High school students had a brief discussion with the handlers and witnessed a dog working. Thank you Sheriff Stump for arranging this opportunity.

Brody had the privilege Sunday of presenting his Patriot Pen essay at the District 4 American Legion meeting in Wauneta. He ended up placing 2nd in the District contest and was awarded $75. He was very nervous about reading his essay in front of a bunch of strangers but he powered through and did a great job. Public speaking is definitely out of his comfort zone. We were told that Brody is the first participant from the Stapleton American Legion post to place at the district level. We are so proud of him!
Another full week for our students. Remember to eat healthy and get plenty of rest.
It is that time of year to be thinking of the future Longhorn and Maverick! Kindergarten Discovery Day will be February 25th. If you know any eligible kiddos in your area, please share this information with their families. We would love to have them come for the day.
The junior class completed their novel unit on The Hobbit by creating movie posters and presenting key themes to the class. They are now working on their Of Mice and Men unit.
