Thank-you for a wonderful year!

The 2012-2013 school year was a truly wonderful teaching experience for me.  You were all such a fun, talented, and special group to teach.  Good Luck in the 8th grade and have a fabulous summer!

Congratulations Merrill & Pierse!

Merrill and Pierse were honored at the State Capitol Building on Friday, May 3rd for their outstanding writing in the "Poetry of Place" writing contest sponsored by the Nebraska Writing Project and the Nebraska Humanities Council.  Only five honorees' work were chosen out of hundreds in the middle school division.  Merrill and Pierse were asked to read their poems in front of a crowd of teachers and family members of the honorees in the Warner Chamber.  It was a wonderful showcase and we are proud of Merrill and Pierse's impressive accomplishment!  Below are photos from the experience.
