Congratulations to The Cub yearbook staff for receiving the Award of Commendation for the 2024-2025 "Hear the Year" yearbook! This is the second highest level awarded in the All-Kansas Yearbook Critique presented by the Kansas Scholastic Press Association. The staff members all worked diligently to create a compelling yearbook design. So proud of everyone who played a part in last year's yearbook creation!

Attention Class of 2026 senior parents/guardians/families:

Please let Mrs. Phillips know if you would like to purchase a yearbook advertisement for your senior before we leave for Christmas break (Thursday, Dec. 18). Emails were sent out previously to notify parents of this and a reminder was sent out this morning.

If you did not receive the email, would like to purchase an ad or if you have any questions, please email hailey.phillips@usd258.net.

Yearbook space is limited, so we need to know as soon as possible if a senior ad is desired.

Thank you!

November is Kansas Reads to PreK month! This years book is Little Nitas Big Idea. Dr. Wheeler read to our classes this week and then each kid received a book to take home and share with their families. Did you know? "Children who are read to at least three times a week by a family member are almost twice as likely to score in the top 25% in reading compared to children who are read to less than 3 times a week."
