Principal's Paranormal Activity
Graduation was held on October 15th. We had three young goblins graduate, one from Scottsbluff and two from Gering. Two of the students have already started college classes, one at WNCC and one at Fullens. The other student is working full time. This brings our total to 518 graduates since 1998!
We are still exposing kids to many different things on our Exploratory Friday classes. Students had the opportunity to go through some firefighter training, hike the monument, and learn about the dangers of sexting and online predators from Monty Lovelace from the Nebraska State Patrol.
