Deshler Public Schools

Our State FFA Range Judging Team enjoyed a beautiful day near North Platte today! We were on the edge of Nebraska's beautiful Sandhills, which means these members learned a whole new list of plants to prepare for the contest. We are excited to announce that the team of Makenna, Danica, Chloe, and Peighton captured 11th in the State! Makenna and Danica both placed in the top 25% individually, earning them Green Ribbons. We're proud of all these students for competing at the state level.

Kindergarten students have been working hard to make different types of patterns. They started by building AB patterns and then had to work together to finish patterns that had missing parts. Now the students are working to build ABB and ABC patterns. Way to go, kindergarten!

Congrats to Deshler Public Schools 4th grade classroom from the Nebraska Trout in the Classroom Program! DPS teacher Emma Henderson is the recipient of a 2026-2027 Trout in the Classroom New Teacher Scholarship Award in the amount of $1,300. The Nebraska Game and Parks and the Trout Unlimited Chapter #710 are providing this interdisciplinary environmental education program to our DPS students.

Help us earn the coffee canner we so desperately need for our HOSA chapter and student run coffee business! We have received a $500 matching grant (thank you, Deshler Community Fund!) and just need YOUR HELP through coffee sales or donations to make this happen! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1HL1jNddVJ/?mibextid=wwXIfr This will be a great student run business that will also benefit the community...and the coffee is AWESOME! Pick yours up on Wednesday mornings between 7:45-8:15 am in the main lobby! Buy one for a friend or coworker while you're at it! Starts tomorrow, Wednesday, September 23rd!

🌾 Good luck to our FFA members competing at State Range Judging! 🌾
Our FFA members are headed to Lincoln County on Wednesday, September 23, to put their knowledge and skills to the test! 💜💛

We’re proud of the time, preparation, and hard work they’ve put in. Go Dragons, and good luck to our FFA competitors! 🐉🌱

Help our HOSA group raise money to purchase their coffee canner - so that YOU can purchase canned coffees from them in the future!

In the meantime, the group is selling both hot and iced coffees! And those of us involved in the taste testing will assure you that they are DELICIOUS!

WHEN: EVERY WEDNESDAY!

So many great things happening at DPS, and those on the outside are noticing ittoo!

Check out the American Leader, Volume 1 Issue 1, for Thayer County, where not one, but TWO of our staff members are recognized for their hard work.

The cover feature and story is about Juliana Kroeger, DPS ag teacher and FFA advisor, and there is an additional story on our MS/HS science teacher, Shannon LeFave, and his work with Boy Scout Troop 305 on page 16. Read about their work here: https://americanleadermagazine.com/volume-1-issue-1/?shem=isphe,

The American Leader of Thayer County is available through subscription. You can designate that half of your subscription dollars go to either the Deshler FFA or to the American Leader Scholarship for Thayer County high school graduates.

Congratulations to Mrs. Kroeger and Mr. LeFave - we are so fortunate to have both of you teaching here at DPS!
