Starting tomorrow morning (April 3rd), our South side of the elementary building will essentially be off limits from the start of the fenced in playground all the way to highway 121 due to construction starting. This means we will open the East doors each morning to let students in for breakfast until further notice. 2nd and 3rd grade students will also be on the East side for their morning arrival place. Please help spread the word! If you have questions, please call the school at (402) 675-8085 or email Mr. Childers at cchilders@bcpsne.info.
Good luck to the 13 state FCCLA competitors!
