Just a reminder about the Famous Kansan Wax Museum by our fourth grade classes.

PTO is sending home order forms for the Lion shirts. There was a lot of interest from parents to purchase extra shirts. Order forms and payment must be turned into the elementary office no later than May 4th.

On Wednesday 04/22 the Bluestem FFA traveled to Newton High School to compete in the 2026 Freshman Ag Mechanics contest. The two freshman competitors completed a safety test, a welding test, tool identification, metal bandsaw part identification and a problem solving test. A big congratulations to both competitors on their success, as Kooper Wiseman placed 3rd and received a new Miller Electric welding hood and a bronze medal, and Cole Myers placed 18th out of 125 competitors and received a baseball cap.
Great job everyone!
