2025 Spring Sports Senior Recognition👏👏







Teaching is more than a job — it’s passion, patience, and purpose. 💼✨ Today we recognize the late nights, lesson planning, extra encouragement, and all the unseen ways teachers shape lives. Thank you for going above and beyond.


"The library is like a candy store where everything is free." Well third grade got to experience art, movies, popcorn and checking out books WITH THEIR OWN LIBRARY CARD on Monday. Opening doorways to learning and possibility! Thank you JH Robbins Memorial Library!

Our students were delighted to have the opportunity for free play, thanks to the mobile lab provided by the Kansas Children's Discovery Center. This fantastic experience was made possible by Marty Hillard's successful grant application to the Dane Hanson Foundation, aimed at enhancing rural schools. The initiative received an overwhelmingly positive response, with students enjoying it so much that they expressed a desire for it to become an annual event. With the support of our community, we can establish this as a beloved tradition for our students.









Moving on up! Soon our third graders will be moving on to 4th grade at KMS! We were welcomed on Thursday by members of the Student Leadership Group, teachers and other staff. Students are nervously excited for what lies ahead! Thank you KMS!







These stunning artworks have graced our halls throughout April, bringing joy and inspiration to all who have seen them. As they soon return home, I want to express how much their creativity and artistic expression have brightened my days. I hope you find as much delight in them as I have!











Our kindergarteners and 1st graders truly shone with their beautiful singing, fantastic dancing, expressive hand motions, and creative props. I found myself singing the songs and recalling all the actions on my way home. A heartfelt thank you to Kelly Clark for creating this wonderful program for everyone to enjoy!

Beautiful day for learning! Third grade kicked off their week with a field trip to Hays, Kansas to visit the Sternberg Museum and Old Fort Hays. We all learned something and were happily tired by the end of the day.







Third Grade parents talked with us last week about their jobs and how they make our community better. THANK YOU parents!
