Even though we often showcase the exciting moments in our classrooms, most of the time learning looks like it does in this picture: students who are focused and working diligently. The highlight moments are amazing and entertaining, but they always come on the heels of weeks of dedication and determination. I love that our students want to grow and be challenged. They are establishing strong foundations for their futures.

Exciting things are happening as we are getting closer to building a greenhouse!Through grant money and the generous donations of our community members, we have raised $120,000. We are so grateful to those who have gotten us this far, but we are still short on funds. Construction on this project will not begin until we raise the final amount of money. We are in need of $20,000 to achieve our goal. If you are interested or know of someone/business that would like to donate please contact Macie Oertle or the Minden Public Schools Foundation.

7th/8th GBB: Due to low numbers for Doniphan Trumbull, next Monday, Nov. 24th our 7th grade will play DT in the CLJ gym at 4:30 pm. Our 8th grade GBB team will not play. We will play an A game followed by 2 quarters of a B game. Go Whippets!
There will be a meeting for parents of girls in 3rd - 8th grades who are interested in playing club volleyball on Tuesday, December 2nd at 7:00 p.m. in the high school commons area. Please contact Coach Ratka at julie.ratka@mindenwhippets.org if you are unable to attend or have questions.

First official day of high school basketball and wrestling! The winter sports season has begun!!
