The National Honor Society will be having its Annual Food Drive next week. Please see the details below.
When: The Food Drive will run from December 9th-13th.
Where do you take items? The NHS students will collect items outside the Elementary and HS offices each day.
Goal: 1,400 food items. This year, $.50 will equal one food item if one chooses to donate money instead of food. Please see Mr. Moore if you plan to donate money instead of food.
Possible Change of Dismissal Day:
If we meet our goal, we WILL NOT have school on January 3rd with students. January 3rd will be a teacher in-service and students will start on January 6th.
Blue Hill senior Aidyn Bonifas, daughter of Troy and Melissa Bonifas was awarded the Currency Believers and Achievers award at the C-1 football championship. Believers & Achievers was designed to reward high school students in Nebraska for their excellence in academics and participation in NSAA activities. Those students who show a commitment to citizenship, school involvement and community projects are honored in the Believers & Achievers program. Congratulations Aidyn!
Reminder: Tomorrow junior high and senior high students will have their activity and sports photos taken. Picture packets are located outside the high school office. Please remind your student to bring jerseys and uniforms for the activities they are in.

How to be a great TEAMMATE.

Congratulation to Reece, Ellie, and Avaley for being named to the Twin Valley Conference All-Conference Volleyball Team!
Blue Hill One Act did amazing today! Judges said all good things. Still waiting on results and awards. 🎭👏
After an engaging in several science lessons on solids, liquids, and gases, the students celebrated their hard work by making and enjoying homemade ice cream. As they shook the ingredients in bags of ice and salt, they observed the science in action—watching the liquid transform into a delicious frozen treat. The hands-on activity reinforced their understanding of phase changes while rewarding their efforts with a sweet and satisfying dessert. Learning had never tasted so good!
The 6th-grade class had an exciting semester harvesting fresh, crisp lettuce from their tower garden. After weeks of nurturing the plants, the students picked the vibrant greens and prepared them for all to enjoy. Their hard work paid off as the lettuce was delivered to the school cafeteria, where it was incorporated into healthy lunches for the students to enjoy.
