Dundy County Stratton Schools

Today, our 4th grade class had a special visitor, former volleyball player of Mrs. Zoltenko, Cayce Barry! Cayce is a Nebraska native who is currently studying agronomy at K-State. She did a great job helping us learn about all of the amazing things agriculture and farming have to offer in Nebraska. We were able to see so many different things, learn about agriculture, and ask all sorts of questions. It was a great opportunity for our students to learn from someone who grew up right here in Nebraska and is continuing her education in a field that is so important to our state. Thank you, Cayce, for taking the time to come visit our classroom and share your knowledge with us!

Last week, our ELA 9 class put their teamwork and problem-solving skills to the test! They practiced productively struggling through a challenging activity, communicating with their peers, and working together as a group. Along the way, we learned an important lesson about integrity: success means doing your own work and respecting the work of others. A fun (and sometimes chaotic) way to build our classroom community!
