Our next College & Career Monday trip is scheduled for November 9th for students interested in the medical/healthcare field.

Congratulations to our 2026–2027 West Nodaway Honor Society Members! Students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.7 or higher to apply and then must demonstrate excellence in scholarship, leadership, service, and character. New members were offically inducted on Sunday, October 18th. We are so proud of you all!

Please continue to save your tabs! Something so small makes such a big difference. The Ronald McDonald House recycles these tabs and uses the money raised to help families with children receiving medical care. One tab isn't worth much, but when we have thousands, that makes a difference! Tabs will be collected for 1st quarter on Thursday, October 28th. Thank you for your support!

Two high school students traveled to Kansas City with Mr. Downing to the Berlin Wall Exhibit at Union Station and then lunch at Fritz's Railroad Cafe! Students explored an important chapter of Cold War history, learning about the division of Germany, the struggle for freedom, and the lasting impact of the Berlin Wall.




Four high school students traveled to Kansas City with Mrs. Clayton to learn about trade apprenticeship programs at The Builders AGC. It was an interactive day with many activities from window installation to tile setting.




Congratulations to the students below for earning a "Perfect First Quarter!" These students had perfect attendance, no discipline referrals, and no tardies for the entire first quarter! They will be treated to a special lunch next Thursday, 10/22 of pizza, pop, chips, and cookies. Congratulations!🌟



First graders were listening to Autumn by Vivaldi and pretending to rake and play in the leaves (scarves) to match the different parts of the music!
