📚 We had so much fun with Guest Reader Day during Read Across America Week!
Our students loved finding spots around the school to sit and read with their guest readers. Thank you to everyone who came and shared a story with our students! ❤️

These sweet preschoolers are rocking their shades and showing off their sunny style because at our school, the future is always this bright!

Ashley Olson is an author of a book about Nebraska. In honor of Nebraska's birthday, Ashley served as a guest reader for second graders.

Look at this fun, creative rhyming writing inspired by Fox in Socks for Read Across America Week!
Yesterday, the high school National Honor Society students spent time reading and hanging out with the second graders! 📚 It was a wonderful chance for the younger students to connect with great role models.
Our second graders have been learning about westward expansion and brought history to life by creating their own covered wagons in class! What a fun way to connect learning with creativity.
Kindergarteners love centers time! Students had fun building, watercolor painting, and working together on puzzles. 🎨🧩
Our third graders wrapped up their light unit by creating shadow puppets with their hands!
🔦 It was a fun way to explore how light makes shadows.
Great work, third graders!
The spring sports posters are ready! Pick up a copy at Minden Exchange Bank or at then MHS office! GO WHIPPETS!!!

In recognition of the Olympics recently, teachers competed in various versions of Olympic events. Pictured is our hockey competition with Mrs. Muller earning gold.




The third graders have been learning all about sound-sound waves, pitch, travel speed, you name it! Students challenged their teachers to name the students using only the sound of the students' voice. Then we did the challenge as a whole school where the teachers had to name each other only using the sound of voices.


Kindergarten and second grade partner reading...building relationships and literacy skills.
