Congratulations to the March Lifters of the Month.
Our paraprofessionals are the heart of our school 💜 Thank you for supporting our students, going above and beyond, and making a difference every single day. We appreciate you!!
The Minden FCCLA chapter had a blast at SLC in Lincoln. Over the three days, our chapter had one student compete in STAR at the state level, and the rest of our officers/members helped as STAR youth volunteers, where they got to watch and time STAR projects. Our FCCLA chapter "flourished with purpose" this year, and we're inspired to begin planning for next year.
STAR events:
- Fashion Construction Level 2 - Kaylie Lawless - Silver Medal
Don't forget to register for the Minden FFA Student Pickleball Tournament. This is now free for all students in both middle and high school. Register using the QR code on the flyer.
Several parents have inquired about the dates for our high school football camp so that they can plan their summer vacations. The camp will run Tuesday, May 26 through Friday, May 29 from 8 to 10:30 AM. Youth camp information will be coming soon.
Last Friday at our Whippet Pack assembly the middle school students had the chance to hear from members of the girls and boys high school basketball team. They spoke about their season and what it takes to be a member of the team throughout the year. They even showed the middle school students how it's done in knockout! We appreciate them taking the time to speak to our students!
Class B All State Band was in Grand Island today! 5 Minden students auditioned and were selected for the event. Abby and Rebbeca were a part of the jazz band. Jon and Bailey were part of the wind ensemble which performed the premiere of a brand new piece of music written for the group. Frank Kovacs was also selected for the event but was unable to attend due to state speech. Good luck today Frank!
