The USDA has announced that waivers will be extended through December 31st allowing schools to offer meals at no cost to all students.  Funding is provided by the federal government due to COVID-19.  Meals will include both breakfast and lunch served through our school food program.  To further assist our families, Boyd County Schools will not be charging for seconds during this time period.  Any extra milk during meals or during elementary morning milk break will still be charged to your account.  

Our application has been filed and approved to offer this opportunity to our students.  We are allowed to start the free meals retroactive to August 14, 2020; so we will be crediting family accounts any regular meals that were purchased from that date forward.  Any payments made to your Hot Lunch account will be maintained to be used in January when we return to our regular Hot Lunch program.  

Please continue to fill out free and reduced lunch forms as normal, as we receive grant funding based on our free and reduced counts.

Spartan Junior High Drop Game to Summerland

The Junior High team opened the season with a 8-52 loss to Summerland.  The Spartans played tough on defense, forcing the Bobcats into several long drives.  However the Spartan defense could not get loose until late in the game.  Hudson Hoffman scored on a long run late in the game and Cash Sinclair added the 2 point conversion.

Following the game, the Bobcats and Spartans allowed younger players to work on offense and defense against one another.  Several 7th Grade players showed promise in this situation.

Junior High Defeats Niobrara/Verdigre 48-26

The Spartan Junior High Football team bounded back from their initial loss to hand the Cougars their first loss of the season.  The offense looked much better, with several players finding the endzone.  Hudson Hoffman scored 3 touchdowns and added a PAT run.  Cash Sinclair and Barrett Koenig each had 2 scores. Charlie Adams scored o a run, as did Will Nelson.  Nelson also hooked up with Ben Tiefenthaler for a PAT pass

The entire Spartan team got involved in the game, with several younger players showing great improvement.  The Spartans will host the Stuart Broncos on Monday, Aug. 21.

The Boyd County Sophomores have been busy studying Greek Mythology in their English class. Their latest myth, Daedalus and Icarus, found them getting their creative juices flowing to work with a partner or my themselves, and write a poem capturing the story. The poems had to be six stanzas long with six lines in each stanza, for a total of thirty-six lines. After just a few groans and complaints about writing poetry, they got to work, and the end result was some great poems from some talented Sophomores. Click on the links below, and enjoy!
