Boyd County Schools

The Boyd County School held their annual Veterans Day program on Monday, November 11th at 2:45pm in the MS/HS gym. The gym was full of the young and old who came out to honor our Veterans. The Color Guard was in attendance for the Posting of the Colors, followed by the singing of the National Anthem by the Boyd County MS/HS choir. After the Pledge of Allegiance Gary Conroy told a story about the only Nebraskan to receive a Medal of Honor. The choir than sang, under the direction of Mrs. Hausmann, "Song for the Unsung Hero".

After the choir sang, Seniors Joseph and Heather Atkinson read the poem "The Ragged Old Flag" by Johnny Cash. Hear the poem by clicking here. 

Following the poem, it was time for the Boyd County bands to show their appreciation for our Veterans. The Junior High Band played "God Bless America", followed by the High School Band playing "American Pride", both under the direction of Mrs. Hausmann.

Finishing up the program was the K-12 choirs joining together to celebrate every branch of the military by singing “Armed Forces-The Pride of America”. The Veterans were asked to stand when they heard their branch's song. In attendance we had Veterans from the United States Army, Marines, Navy, and Air Force. 

Thank you to everybody who came out today to honor our Veterans on this important holiday!

Congrats to all the students who worked hard all quarter and made the Honor Roll!

Freshman Natasha Zeisler competed at the Nebraska State Cross Country Meet hosted on the Kearney Country Club golf course on Friday, October 25, 2019.  She competed with 149 other Class D girls in the 2PM race.  Zeisler started out strong on the hilly course sitting in 17th place as she crossed the mile mat.  She continued to compete and fought her way to a 19th place finish in her best time of the season 21:06.  At the state level only the top 15 medal, however finishing in the top 12% at the state meet is a huge accomplishment!  Congratulations Natasha on an outstanding freshman season! 

The Butte Campus Preschool students decorated pumpkins this week. They made unicorns, spiders, cats, longhorn cows, and a monster.

What do you do when find a box of old, outdated CPR masks that can no longer be used? You give them to Ms. Dennis of course! The masks were found this summer while cleaning out closets. They are outdated, and are no longer used for CPR training. Ms. Dennis was happy to accept them for her art students. Below you can see masks that some of her art studetns turned into works of art!
