Mrs. Stichka had the opportunity to spend the day in Brady yesterday with other ESU 16 librarians. As a group, we learned more about collection management including weeding consideration and collection development. We were able to hear from both the Western & Central Plains Library Services directors and the services they can provide school libraries, as well as receive updates from the NDE regarding library legislation. At the end of the day we were able to collaborate and begin planning for the 2027 Battle of the Books!
1st grade has been learning about book awards during library time. This week they learned about the Caldecott Medal which is given each year to the illustrator of the most distinguished American picture book for children. To expand our learning we read "Where the Wild Things Are" whose author & illustrator, Maurice Sendak, won the award in 1964 for his illustrations in the title. Afterwards, created our own "wild things" by drawing AND building them--which turned out to be much more challenging than they thought it would be. Their creativity and problem solving skills were really put to the test!
Today, Maci Walz had the privilege to present 3 mini sessions during the District 11 Leadership Conference in McCook through her role as the FCCLA Nebraska State Community Leader Team Secretary. Students found success through a digital escape room: Mission FACTS (Families Acting for Community Traffic Safety).

Throughout this school year, we will be highlighting all of our staff members. Each person in our district plays a role in making our schools and students successful, and we want it to be known that they are cherished and valued!
Today we start off strong with National Custodian Day, where we honor Justa & Kelley. Both of these women do so much to keep each of our school buildings up and running, and it often goes unnoticed and without thanks but they do it anyway. Thank you Justa & Kelley for all you do! If you see either of them, please let them know how much you appreciate them!
