Who: Everyone is welcome to attend!

Mike has come to understand that so many teen issues are directly related to how students view themselves. If a student believes they have high intrinsic value and identify with that high value, they make life choices that match their perceived value identity. Students who value and respect themselves make positive life choices and show greater value and respect to others. Value Up was created to amplify value in every student, resulting in strengthening a positive school culture.

The 3rd-5th graders had a combined PE/Music Snowtravaganza. They practiced their scooter skills and safety while also identifying various rhythms in an exciting set of "sled" rhythm races. The first team to race to the end of the gym, find the correct rhythm, and race back won a point! Team Red and Team Yellow dominated the day with their running, scooting, rhythm reading prowess. A snowball fight (with fluffy cotton "snowballs") finished off the festivities.

In addition to the Regular Meeting Agenda.

Real Property Bids for Kilgore Tract 1 & 2

I just wanted to share a few details about the Special Meeting scheduled for Friday. This is an annual event for our district where teachers and Board Members collaborate and discuss district priorities. It provides an opportunity for administration and the board to hear directly about staff and student needs and consider adjustments to district priorities to better support them. Because the entire board will be present, it must be formally noticed as a meeting.

Congratulations to the MS quiz bowl team on their 5th place finish at the Kadoka Acalympics competition.

6th and 7th graders would like to thank Blaire Speck for her excellent "egg-sperimental" engineering workshop!

Good Morning! Congratulations to the Cody-Kilgore Cowboys as they defeated the Hyannis Longhorns 58-47 last night in the Sub-District semifinals. The Cowboys will be taking on the Mullen Broncos on Thursday February 26th at 5:30 p.m. for the Sub-District Championship. It would be great to have Cowboy fans their being loud and proud. School will be dismissed at 2:00 p.m. on February 26th to allow for students to get home and go with their families.

Go Cowboys!

Congratulations to Gunner Ford for placing second, and Fiora Moreland for winning the Cherry County Spelling Bee! How about that Cody-Kilgore Cherry County Spelling Bee Sweep!?! Congratulations Fiora and Gunner! We are so proud of you two!

After careful consideration and a review of the forecast, we will be keeping students and staff home tomorrow, February 19th.
My primary concern is not whether we can safely begin the school day, but whether we can ensure everyone returns home safely. With the potential for significant snowfall and strong winds, travel conditions could become unsafe.

Please stay warm and stay safe.

First grade students worked on their cooperation and team work skills this week!
