A huge thank you to 5th-grade students Kaleena and Cecile for visiting 3rd-grade classes to share an important message about bullying. The girls did this as part of their Youth Inspired Philanthropy Project. They led a thoughtful discussion on kindness, inclusion, and standing up for others, helping our students understand the impact of their words and actions. We appreciate their dedication to making a difference in our school community! #CultureOfConfidence

Prairie View first-grade students had a fantastic time celebrating Dr. Seuss’s birthday and Read Across America Week! They enjoyed reading lots of Dr. Seuss's books, creating their own Horton or Lorax masks, and listening to special guest readers from the middle school. It was a fun-filled week of stories, creativity, and learning! #CultureOfConfidence

Michael, a Prairie View 3rd grader, put his PBIS points to great use by challenging Mr. Slama, PV Principal to a game of checkers! Through our PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) program, students earn points for showing respect, responsibility, and kindness—then get to redeem them for fun rewards like this one. It was a friendly but competitive match, filled with strategy, laughter, and great sportsmanship! #CultureOfConfidence

At the February OPSD School Board meeting, the board honored 3 model students and one dedicated educator! These students & staff have shown what it means to do things “The OG Way.” They are risk-takers in and out of the classroom, show grit in all they do, and take ownership of their learning. We are so proud of our February students of the month, Lily Wood (elementary), Adrien Rivas (middle grades), Avery Lowther (high school), and teacher of the month, Kristen Van Velson! Keep up the great work! We greatly appreciate our community sponsors for donating prizes for these individuals to honor their accomplishments! #GoBigO #OGIndians #TheOGWay #CultureOfConfidence

Last week Mr. Skiles' Geography students were climbing to the top of Mount Everest! Each day was a different stretch of the ascent with different challenges. Students faced challenges, such as walking on ladders over giant cracks in the ice, needing their oxygen masks when reaching certain altitudes, climbing the Hillary Step, and finally leaving our marker on the summit. We love to see our students highly engaged in hands-on lessons! #CultureOfConfidence

Parents, Staff, Students and Community, Congratulations to the Ogallala Boys Basketball team and good luck at the State Tournament! Our planned spring break has students and staff scheduled for no school on Thursday & Friday (March 13th & 14th). Ogallala Public Schools will extend the spring break with no school Wednesday-Friday (March 12th - 14th) to accommodate the amount of requests from staff and students to attend the state basketball tournament. As superintendent, I want to communicate the thought process of the school board and school administration when making this decision. A question we get at times is “Why not dismiss for other activities such as state wrestling, state cross country, or state track?” It is simply a numbers issue. With an exclusively team competition such as volleyball, football, and basketball we have the most students participating and spectators attending. We also have band, cheer, and dance invited to perform at these activities. With the number of students and staff attending, it makes it difficult to have a productive school day. We do our best to support all activities & we do encourage students to attend these functions. Aside from these important community-building examples, there are significant logistical issues that the administrative team has to consider. Among these considerations are accommodating the requests of teachers and staff who desire to attend the events, with a limited number of substitutes available, often for the same reason. In addition, the administration anticipates that a high number of students would be absent, making the school day disrupted. There will be no Kids Oasis during the break from March 12th - 14th. Thank you all for the support you give Ogallala Public Schools! Travel safe and have an amazing experience! Go Big O!
