The archery numbers for elementary and JH are outstanding! This group has their t-shirts in hand & all 4th - 12th graders should wear them to their upcoming meets (if competing) on March 3rd (in Nelson) and March 19th (in Lincoln). Good luck to our archery students!
Reminder… group archery picture this morning at 8:15 AM for the yearbook. T-shirts will be handed out prior to the picture. This is for grades 4-12. Archery practice starts next week and will be held during PE time. We will get everyone worked in even if they don’t have PE!

Haley Webber, president of the Deshler Chamber of Commerce, came in to talk to the Independent Living class last week.
She spoke about how the Chamber tries to help existing Deshler businesses and tries to welcome and help new businesses as well. Chamber sponsored activities such as breakfast with Santa, Easter Egg Hunts, Trunk or Treat, and Deshler Daze were highlighted as potential ways kids could get involved in the community. She spoke about the Chamber's desire to have our youth be involved and about things that our youth have helped with in the past. Thank you for keeping our community strong, Haley!
