CCMS: Students had the exciting opportunity to take on staff members in the annual Students vs. Staff volleyball game. The staff started strong, defeating the seventh graders in three games. The eighth-grade girls then won a competitive match against the eighth-grade boys. The boys bounced back and ended up defeating the staff. The staff and eighth-grade girls went head-to-head in the final game and split wins. This fun, exciting tradition is one that students and staff look forward to every year.  

Numa: Jeremie Sorensen's 5th-grade art students designed their guitars inspired by Pablo Picasso. From 1901 to 1904, Picasso entered a period of his life called the Blue Period. All his paintings from this time were primarily blue mixed with other colors. Students mixed the hue blue with white and black to make different shades. They also added pastel chalks and embellished their guitars with yarn and plastic gemstones, adding a unique touch to their projects.

E.C. Best: Students had an exciting opportunity to participate in Agriculture Day on Wednesday, February 19. Hosted by CCHS FFA, the event allowed students to learn about various aspects of agriculture. Angies Heck's students were excited to learn how to milk a cow and how milk gets from the cow to the grocery store. Students got to milk "Moolissa," making it a memorable experience. A special thank you to the CCHS FFA members for dedicating their time and to E.C. Best teacher, Melissa Humphrey, for organizing the event. 

Lahontan: Crystal Cabral's LES students recognized Presidents' Day by learning more about the holiday. They wrote speeches on why they could be president and then presented their speeches to the class. "It also got students thinking about leadership and what it takes to be a leader, all while learning about some of the great leaders of our country," Cabral said.
