my version of march madness

Sometimes I was more like the Mad Hatter in Wonderland.

This year we hosted Panhandle Conference Quiz Bowl.  (The day after Parent-Teachers conferences, and middle of book fair) After many weeks (months) of planning, recruiting, etc it all came together.  Over 100 participants and coaches from six school, 40+ volunteers, and we made it though the day with only a few bobbles.

I was proud of my Middle School team.  They took First Place!! Two days before they had participated in a warm up competition at Chadron Middle School.  The high school teams did well. Kate Roberts make the All-Conference team. Yeah! Kate.

I really don't like doing all this in one month.  Fortunately hosting only happens once every five or six years.

For Read Across America and into Parent Teacher conferences the elementary participated in a Decorate Your Door contest.  A book was the theme.  Most chose a Seuss book.  The fifth grade had a red Readbox with each student contributing a book cover.   Next year we'll invite the Middle School and High School to join in.  I think they did a great job.  Some are still up, some are down.


  Yes, those are all the doors - sixth, first, third, Title, first, PreK, fourth, Kindergarten.  We are a very small school.
