McPherson County Schools

The McPherson County One-Act Team kicked off their first festival of the year today in Elm Creek. I’m really proud of everyone for getting up on stage and giving it their all so early in the season. We brought home three outstanding performer awards: Jackson Fisher, Hannah Goosey, and Brody Connell.

The students might have had the day off on Friday, but our teachers are continuing to improve themselves to help our students be the best they can be!

Monday night, Kylee Albrecht stepped into her role as Student School Board Representative. Congratulations Kylee!

Students are off and going for the second quarter! Good luck in all of your events and activities. Play Production will perform at Elm Creek at 3:00 p.m.

Junior High boys and girls 6th-8th wrestling will start on Wednesday, October 21st. North Platte students will be able to ride Stapleton's North Platte Route bus after practice. They drop off in the north parking lot at the softball fields. They are there around the same time as our drop off. If you have questions please reach out to Mrs. Florea. If they don't have a physical, they will need one before they can practice.

Then we headed back to UNK campus and had a lesson on aerodynamics and then the students flew in the Redbird Simulator. Thank you UNK and Retired Lt.Col USMC Dan Smith.

Connecting Chapters is a program that equips high school FFA members to connect with elementary students and peers to increase agricultural literacy – awareness, knowledge, and appreciation, in their communities.

Parents/Guardians of 5th and 6th Graders:

There will be no band in the morning on the 13th of October (Tomorrow!) because of the early dismissal.

Please drop them off at the elementary in the morning.

Thank you!
