The sophomore just finished up studying King Arthur. Their favorite part of this unit was making their coat of arms to represent their family.
Things are moving right along this final quarter. Testing is starting, so please make sure your child is getting plenty of rest and good nutrition to boost that brain power!
Another hands on day of learning about embryology for 5th, 6th, and 9th! Thanks Amber Willard!!

Congratulations to Saije on your speech season. Keep growing and working hard.
Into to Ag students have partnered with the 5th & 6th grade classes and we have had Amber Willard with the NE 4-H Extension provide lessons about embryology. Each classroom has been incubating eggs. Today students had the opportunity to learn about embryo development and then were able to candle the eggs.
A reminder that tomorrow, March 17th, we will be doing a State Speech Send off for Saije, Coach Gaedke and Coach Weideman at 12:50 p.m. in the gym. Everyone is welcomed to come and wish her good luck! She performs at Kearney High on March 18th at 8:30am, 10:30 am, and 1:00 pm.
Ag education students had the opportunity to meet and network with Gracie Schneider, a 2021-2022 Nebraska State FFA Officer. She led a variety of workshops with students about FFA, CDEs, LDEs, employment skills and teamwork.
The seventh-grade class is reading "The Lightning Thief" in English.

The McPherson County Speech Team competed in the 2022 District Speech Tournament yesterday. We should be proud of all our students and their perseverance. This year, these students had a rough start dealing with sickness and other obstacles along the way. Every team member medaled except one this year, and the student who did not medal worked extremely hard and just missed it by a couple of points. Saige Phelps received third in serious prose, and she will be representing our school and speech team at the state speech competition this year.
District Results:
Serious Prose: 3rd place- Saije Phelps
OID: 5th place- Katherine Anderson, Brooklynn Fisher, and Isaac Goosey
