One last round of book winners for the 2025-2026 school year!

The 4th grade class ended the school year with a Holes-themed party! They completed a novel study over the book Holes by Louis Sachar over the last few weeks. Today they dressed up as the characters, had snacks based on items from the book, and watched the movie. If you look closely, you can see they were marked by Kissin’ Kate Barlow!

The Bulls Track team had themselves a day today. We had many PRs and some school records along the way while sending kids to Omaha to the state meet. Bristol Kubert broke her own school records today in the 100 running 13.42 and in the 200 running 27.25. Rilee Schutz broke the HJ record today at 4'11, with that jump she has qualified to state in High Jump. She also qualified in the 100 M Hurdles. Girls team had a great season this year. Boys also had a day, Brody Diefenbaugh broke the school record in triple with a jump of 40'1.5. They also had a handful qualify to the state meet: Cooper Knackstedt in Pole Vault, Justin Ervin in the 100 & 200, Kane Cochrane in 200, Traevyn Koch in the 300 Hurdles. Our 4x1 (Justin Ervin, Brody Diefenbaugh, Cooper Knackstedt, Kane Cochrane) and our 4x4 (Gage Rupp, Brody Diefenbaugh, Cooper Knackstedt, Traevyn Koch) they also broke their own school record. Great way to end our season before state! #gobulls
