Challenge Days

Wednesday, April 4th Chadron Primary students went up to Chadron State College and enjoyed Challenge Days.  Students in the Health, Physical Education, and Recreation department host our elementary students to a morning of fun with different stations and activities.  It is a wonderful opportunity for the CSC students to get exposure to teaching and our little birds get extra opportunities for fun and physical activity.  A HUGE thank you to Chadron State College for this event, our children have such a GRAND time!!

Cardinals of the Month - March

These students were able to have breakfast in the Teachers' Lounge with Ms. Uhing and as always it was a big treat for our Cardinals of the Month.  These students have gone above and beyond following our Cardinal Rules of 1)Be Safe 2)Be Respectful and 3)Be Responsible.  We are so proud of these students and are so excited to watch them continue being wonderful role models.  Congratulations on the recognition!

Poison Prevention with Pinky the Elephant

Chadron Community Hospital staff members along with Pinky the Elephant visited Chadron Primary School to talk about poison prevention.  The children were treated to coloring books and magnets with the visit and we want to thank Chadron Community Hospital for the coming to the "Nest".

Perfect Attendance

These Primary students celebrated perfect attendance for the first three quarters of school.  We are so proud of these children and their families for making attendance a priority.  It is not easy to make every day of school so when you see these students please make sure you congratulate them for a job well done!!

Cardinals of the Month - February

These students were chosen by their teachers as wonderful examples of students who follow the Cardinal Rules of 1) Be Safe, 2) Be Respectful, and 3) Be Responsible so they were able to party in the teachers' lounge with only Princessipal Uhing.  As Cardinals of the Month they are great leaders within their classrooms. It is always so much fun to visit with and enjoy the company of these outstanding students.  Way to go kiddos and thank you for making such good choices!!

Read Across America FUN

The students at Chadron Primary School had a variety of activities to help celebrate Read Across America.  Kindergarten students enjoyed the Q and U wedding while older students had visitors from the Pine Ridge Job Corps and other students did some reading of Seuss books on their own.  It was a wonderful day to celebrate literacy and enjoy our guests.  Thank you to everyone who visited and participated in our fun!

Second Grade Field Trip to First National Bank

The second grade classes were able to visit First National Bank of Chadron for a field trip a few weeks ago.  First National Bank of Chadron sponsored a math curriculum - "Saving with Mandy and Randy" in which the students learned about saving and spending along with deposits and withdrawals.  The children were excited to see how the bank operates and we thank all of the employees of the bank for welcoming our students.  Thank you!

Raffle Winner!!

Congratulations to James Hardy the winner of our Lego Raffle - his guess of 240 was only two off from the actual amount of Legos at 238.  James, his wife Mandi, and son Damian were all on hand to accept the winnings and pose for a picture.  James said he had help in guessing from Damian so they will take part of their prize money to buy a Lego set for home.  Congratulations James and thanks to everyone who came and supported our Penny Carnival.  We took in cash donations and a total of 4,483 pennies!  This money will be used to fund next year's event; again, thank you so much for your suppo

Thank You Board Members!

Chadron Primary School would like to send a special thank you to Board Members Amanda Bannan, Tom Menke, and Sandy Roes for taking time out of their busy schedules to come read to our students.  Media Specialist Cathy Kaus organized the event for the night of Parent/Teacher Conferences and we were certainly excited to have board members in our schools interacting with our children.  Again, thank you to Mrs. Kaus and board members for all you do to make Chadron Public Schools such an AMAZING place!!
