Battle Creek 7th graders are enjoying a day at the YMCA for their Blaze Day. Thanks to the great junior and senior trailblazers for their leadership.
As we approach state testing, our school is preparing students to do their best and show what they have learned this year. State assessments help us understand student progress and guide future instruction. Families can support their children by encouraging a good night’s sleep, a healthy breakfast, and a positive attitude on testing days. We are proud of the hard work our students have shown all year and look forward to seeing their efforts reflected during testing. Thank you for your continued support in helping our students succeed!

We are getting near the start of the awards presentation at district speech in Atkinson. Individual events results will be posted as they are announced. Top 3 in each event will qualify for state next week in Kearney
BC Speech has 18 of 20 events in the finals at the District C1-5 Speech Meet! Finals are starting soon.
We want to extend a huge congratulations to Jaiden Ertzner as National FCCLA announced the Member of the Year Semi-Finalists today!
FCCLA is proud to recognize the Top 15 Semi-Finalists for the FCCLA Member of the Year Awards, presented by the U.S. Army. Selected from more than 260,000 members, these individuals represent the very best of FCCLA and stand among the top leaders across the country.
The FCCLA Member of the Year represent the highest honor that any member can receive. Being named a semi-finalist is a national distinction, recognizing individuals whose leadership, service, and innovation set them apart. These FCCLA Members reflect the U.S. Army’s core values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage, and their impact is shaping the future of FCCLA and communities nationwide.
The second phase of the evaluation process is now underway, and in April, the Top 5 Finalists will be announced. We wish Jaiden the best of luck, and we can’t wait to see what else she will accomplish!
