We are proud to accept a grant to support our backpack program that was made possible by Land O' Lakes and Farmers Cooperative: Dorchester. Thank you Mrs. Terra Blecha for your work and coordination on this grant.
A great night for football as Jesse McLaughlin, Jett Farwell, and Anthony Kling represented Pawnee City in the Nebraska vs. Wyoming 6-Man All-Star Game at Chadron State College. Nebraska came away with a big 68-28 win! A perfect way to cap off their outstanding high school careers. We’re so proud of everything these three have accomplished on and off the field.
Huge thanks to the awesome cheering section who made the long trip to support them—your energy made the night even more special!

#MentalHealthAwareness Month
Physical challenges and serious health struggles in friends and family can impact their mental health. Although we might not be able to change someone’s illness, we can change how they experience it. During #MHAM2025, take the time to share a meal, take a walk, or just listen—it can make a world of difference. 🌎💖samhsa.gov/find-support/helping-someone
The eighth grade careers class ventured into the Arts and Manufacturing career cluster today! Students learned how to thread a needle and how to sew a basic running stitch! Some even attempted to sew a button on! Lots of good hands-on career exploration!
In working with Southeast Community College and Pawnee County Memorial Hospital/Rural Health Clinic, we are thrilled to offer a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) class again this year! The class will run August 18 - December 12.

They encouraged the students to set high goals, show up every day and to lean on their support system.

Eighth grade careers students are working in groups to design and build arm casts that won't feel itchy for patients. Using just a few basic materials, they're learning how to solve problems and getting a fun introduction to what it's like to work in engineering or healthcare. Mrs. Schmit will be judging their creations on Monday to pick the winning design!
Last PBIS pep rally of the year! Students reviewed the sidewoak and restroom expectations playing a game of catch. Hula hoop pants make great fun for catching the correct expactations. A big thank you to the spotlight students for showing respectful, responsible and safe behavior in April.

It was the seniors last day yesterday, but not before we had our final drawings!
The winners of the May FAFSA drawing were Isaac Seitz and Kayla Snyder!
Our second drawing was for the grand prize for completing Senior Passports. At the beginning of the school year, each student got a passport that had a variety of tasks. As students completed tasks, they earned stamps! Eight students completed the passport and received a gift card! One grand prize winner was drawn from the group of eight and Isaac Seitz was the lucky winner again!
