Discussion:
The board heard a celebration of excellence for Kynlee Encinger who won NDOT's snowplow naming contest. They awarded her at the school on November 20th. She named it Billy Nye the Frosty Guy. The elementary students will be having awards on the 19th and celebrating the 2nd quarter with a trip to the Golden Husk Theater. The Bluejay Buddies program had their first meeting and it was awesome. We have 23 high school basketball players and 24 buddies participating. At our first get-together, the buddies met, came up with some unique handshakes, and decorated basketballs to decorate a Christmas tree at school. The preschool had fun visiting the fire department to look at the firefighters' tools and equipment and, of course, the fire trucks and ambulance. The kids did great walking there and back. Also, the preschool was 100% for parent-teacher conferences with 19 completed! Blake Barg was sworn into the Army on December 2nd. Congratulations to the FFA Jr. High Quiz Bowl team for winning at Ansley on December 8th. They won all 6 of their rounds, competing against 34 other teams. Also, congratulations to Bladen Rathman and Garrett Wells on placing 6th in Ag Demonstration.
