We would like to thank UNMC and OPS for allowing us to pilot the Covid saliva testing. The pilot program has come to an end. Thank you to all the students who participated on a weekly basis. Lastly, thank you to all families that are helping out with our STEAM fundraiser. Students are doing an amazing job.
