Motivation Monday! Today, we had the privilege of hosting a guest speaker, Bill Cordes for both our 6-12 and K-5 groups! Each session was filled with energy as students were engaged and inspired by the powerful message on the importance of connection and You Get What You Put In!
It’s a reminder that no matter our age, building strong connections helps us grow, learn, and succeed. This was a great brain break as we prepare for upcoming tests. Let's continue to stay connected and uplift one another!
Shoutout to our amazing high school students who volunteered their time and talent for our littlest Hornets! 18 kindergarten through 3rd grade students showed up ready to learn at the Hornet Connect Basketball & Cheer Clinic. After an hour of fun skill-building, they wrapped up the day with lunch and a special Hornet necklace.
Great job to everyone who made this event such a success — we’re so proud of our Hornet family!
Thank you to Sonic in Nevada for the paper goods donation and the Osage YMCA in Nevada for letting us borrow the smaller basketballs.
Motivation Monday!
Every single one of our seniors completed their FAFSA this year — unlocking access to federal & state aid, grants, and loans for their next steps! (which students can choose to access)
This funding is often first come, first serve, and our students were on it — meeting the Feb. 1st preferred deadline!
Huge thanks to @rootedalliance for the awesome incentives. So far, two seniors have won prizes — including a pair of AirPods and a brand new laptop!
We’ve got ONE more drawing coming before the end of the year — stay tuned and keep celebrating these wins!
Congratulations to Lola Wriston!
She earned All-District honors for Quiz Bowl after scoring the 4th highest overall last Saturday!
Way to represent, Lola!
Thank you to Jeff and Val Fillpot for showing our Greenhouse class their operation and the delicious cookies! Greenhouse class looks forward to future projects of our own.

Congratulations to Paris Brooks!
