Girls in Engineering Day
Abigail Russell and Gina Namuth had a fun opportunity to participate in “Girls in Engineering Day” at UNL last weekend with Mrs. Shields. It was sponsored by UNL and the Lincoln Children’s Museum. It was a day for girls ages 7 to 18 to discover what engineers do. They explored hands-on activities and then had breakout sessions where more in-depth topics were discussed. They also were able to tour the UNL lab that is creating a surgical robot. Abigail Russell said she enjoyed learning about the different kinds of engineers and getting connected with professionals in the field.

Crayola ColorCyle Program
Turn markers into energy
The PFE is still collecting used markers that are ready to be discarded. The markers will be sent to a facility, at no cost to us, where they will be converted into clean fuel. This fuel can be used to power vehicles, heat homes, cook meals and more! Please help support our efforts by sending your kids in with any used markers you may have around the house -even non-Crayola brands. Drop off boxes are located in the libraries at both the Elementary and High School as well as the Elementary office.
Thanks to the PFE for organizing his program.
Coaches Vs. Cancer
As we have the past several years we will be doing a Coaches vs Cancer game when we play at Arlington this year. If you would like to order a T-shirt to support the cause here is a picture of the order form. Your child can pick one of these forms up in the office. Forms are due back to the office by January 9th.
