Our 7th graders had an AWESOME day of learning at the Prairie Museum of Art & History in Holdrege on Thursday, September 24th.

Students got to step back in time and explore Nebraska history through some pretty incredible exhibits. They learned about World War II POWs in the Atlanta, Nebraska area and the local connection to Harold Warp, while also discovering what goes on behind the scenes to preserve history in a museum. 🪖🇺🇸

We also learned about museum curation and preservation, including how museums safely display and care for historical artifacts, artwork, animals, and taxidermy. Students got to see firsthand how history is protected so future generations can learn from it!

And there was SO much to see! Students explored exhibits featuring:
🏠 A replica sod house
🦷 Old dentist offices
📬 Historic post offices
🧸 Toy stores
⛓️ Old jails
🦌 Nebraska wildlife and taxidermy
Historical weapons
🚂 Trains
🚗 Vintage automobiles, including a Model T
…and countless other artifacts from Nebraska's past!

It was a great opportunity for students to connect what we learn in the classroom to real people, places, and objects from history. We had a fantastic day exploring, asking questions, and discovering just how much history is right here in our own community!

A huge thank-you to the Prairie Museum for welcoming our 7th graders and helping make history come alive! 👏

Softball recognized our parents and our seniors for their support and dedication! Addison Norris also hit a towering grand slam! Go Blazers!

⛳️ Cozad Invite ⛳️ Macy - 76 (1st) 🥇 Ceirra - 108 Hallie - 117 Laynee - 130 Team - 431 (4th) We head into post-season play tomorrow with the SWC tournament back in Cozad. Good luck, girls! Please help us congratulate Macy on an undefeated regular season. She has been the individual champion of every tournament we've attended so far. Keep it up, Macy!
