First Grade Art Work
Mrs. Ferguson's First Grade students created some wonderful pictures of a farmer with a hay rack. They had an example; however, this was all done free handed. Such creative work from these hard working first graders.
Cardinals Committed Visit Again
Chadron Primary students were treated to a visit from Cardinals Committed softball players. The players took time out of their lunch hour to come have lunch and visit with our students. The little Cardinals want to wish our softball girls GOOD LUCK at districts which are hosted here in Chadron today (10/5) and tomorrow (10/6). We hope families can go and support our Cardinals.
Battle of the Box Tops!!!
Chadron Primary School will have a contest to help collect Box Tops for Education. We will do two contest one in the fall and one in the spring. The Battle of the Box Tops will run from Oct. 2nd through Oct. 26th.. The classroom that collects the most Box Tops during this time period will earn a Pizza Party.
Thank You all so much!!!
"I wanted to take a moment to send out a quick and HUGE THANK YOU to each and every person who made the Penny Wars Fundraiser a success! Without the help from the CPS staff, principals, students, parents, and community members, we NEVER would have raised $2814 for the Kubo family. I know without a doubt that the money you all raised has not only lifted a piece of the financial burden that they are feeling, but it has raised their spirits knowing that they have a community that is backing them in the battle that Barb and the family are currently going through.

Todd Green Musical Performance at CSC
Primary School Students were treated to an amazing musical performance sponsored by Chadron State College. Todd Green plays over 30 string, flute, and percussion instruments from all over the world. His custom-built electronics system allows him to layer instrument sounds as he plays and in effect turns him into a high-tech one-man-band of World Music. His concert features original music inspired by more than a half dozen cultures in the Middle East, Asia, South America, and Africa. We hope you can join us for his public performance:
Good Citizens in 2nd Grade
Mrs. Page and Mrs. Sandstrom took their students out and about last week to help pick up trash. The students found a great deal of trash to pick up around the football stadium and were able to help out by cleaning up. A HUGE thank you to these two 2nd grade classes for excellent citizenship ~ a job well done!!
Ozobots
The August 21st eclipse may be over but the 2nd graders used their library time to further explore the event by programing Ozobot robots to demonstrate how the eclipse occurred. Students used OzoCodes to create the elliptical orbit of the moon. Students were engaged and inspired when the topic came alive after successfully programming the Ozobot robots!

District Students Lead Fundraiser for Kubo Family

Steve Kubo is a long time employee of Chadron Public Schools and works in all four buildings as well as drives bus for many of our student activities and field trips.
Patriot Day
Patriot Day happens every year and is observed as the National Day of Service and Remembrance. It lands on September 11th of each year in memory of the 2,977 killed in the September 11th terrorist attacks in 2001. A bill to make a national day of mourning on September 11th was introduced in the U.S. House on October 25, 2001, but it wasn’t actually declared as Patriot Day until 2002. Today, the American flag is flown at half-staff at the White House as well as at all U.S. government buildings.
Solar Eclipse Viewing
On Monday, August 21, 2017 Chadron Public Schools will host a Solar Eclipse Viewing and Sack Lunch for our students. A signed permission slip is REQUIRED for participation in this viewing so please look for the permission slip in the packet of information sent home on the first day of school. We look forward to sharing this experience with our students!
