Mrs. Leishman’s Voyager Readers performed The Best Christmas Pageant Ever play by Barbara Robinson. Parents, family, friends, Kindergarten- 6th graders, teachers, and support staff were in attendance. This is a fun tradition that has been happening for at least 13 years. This year we collected canned goods for the food pantry.

Mrs. Benoit’s 2nd grade enjoyed Mrs. JoAnn Jensen from the UNL Extension Office’s visit in November. She taught them how they can learn about science in the kitchen. They learned about how to crush a can using heat and water (pressure) and other experiments that can be done in the kitchen with their parents help. The Extension Office in Blair offers great learning opportunities!
