COUGARS IN COLLEGE: Congratulations to Amanda Slater and Anna Wagemann, who
have had papers accepted to this year's (30th annual) National Conference on
Undergraduate Research at UNC Asheville, April 7-9.
Amanda's paper is "Adult Influences in the Construction of Youth War Diaries."
Anna's paper is "The Monstrous, The Mysterious, and the Mystic: Reanimating Childhood
Classics through the Feared City."
Anna's paper has also been accepted for presentation at the annual Children's Literature
Association Conference in Columbus, OH, June 9-11. This is a particularly notable
accomplishment as the conference is an annual professional conference that rarely admits
undergraduates.
Amanda's paper, meanwhile, has also been accepted (in poster form) for the prestigious
"Posters on the Hill" at Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, April 19-20. Hers was one of only
60 posters selected. Usually only one or two students from the entire state of Nebraska
are accepted. This is the second time a UNK English student has had a poster accepted
(the last was in 2011).

Construction is complete on a Greenhouse for the Agriculture Career Pathway
Program. The new Greenhouse provides 1,800 square feet of new space. At 2:00
p.m. on Wednesday, February 17, there will be a Ribbon Cutting ceremony to
celebrate the opening of the Greenhouse and to kickoff the new Career Pathway
programs
in
Business,
Agriculture,
Graphic
Arts,
Medical,
and
Drafting/Engineering/Architecture.
Discussions continue about plans for new construction to house future
Manufacturing, Welding, and Culinary Arts Programs. Architects from BVH have
met and will continue to meet with staff to discuss needs for the upcoming projects.
Planning is also moving forward to build a new Performing Arts Center and practice
area for the South Central Unified wrestling team. This will allow the district to close
the Fairfield site and continue to operate more efficiently.
Sandy Creek and Lawrence-Nelson school boards have unanimously voted to
develop a new Unified Agreement. In the past, Sandy Creek and Lawrence-Nelson
have shared the same budget and tax rate/levy. The new Unified agreement will
provide both districts the flexibility of having their own budget, while sharing the
same tax rate/levy. In the future, Lawrence-Nelson and Sandy Creek local boards
will be able to decide for themselves on matters such as educational programming,
building projects, and size of staff.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the rate of inflation between 2010 and
2014 was 2 percent. During that time, South Central Nebraska Unified School
District increased spending by an average of less than one percent (00.80%) or
$88,488 per year.
In 2010-11, South Central Unified total expenses were $10,550,191. Last year the
district spent $10,992,635. Since 2010-11, South Central Unified become more
efficient, while adding all day preschool, a K-12 one-to-one computer initiative, new
reading, math, science, and social studies curriculum with intervention materials,
middle school, a Career Pathways Program, SCALE Program, Spanish at
Lawrence-Nelson, Art at Lawrence-Nelson, and elementary robotics and
programming.

AR-Sandy Creek Elementary students and teachers
were very focused on meeting students individual
Accelerated Reading goals. All K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 5th
grade students reached their goals with only two fourth graders missing the mark. The
students that achieved the goal received the reinforcement for their hard work of going
to the Hastings YMCA. Students played and swam all afternoon and really enjoyed the
time. The following students achieved 300% of their goal or higher and will get a
special luncheon with Dr. Gilson: 300% Garrett Fischer, Aidan Petersen, Morgan Petr,
Trevon Watts, Porter Ferrell, Conner Calderon, Christian Shaw, Chloe Stevens; 400% or

Spelling Bee—Fifth Graders Aisley Schliep, Sean Heaton, Blaine Tessman have
qualified for the County Spelling Bee; Itzamna Diaz is the alternate, which will be held at
SC Middle school on February 10th.
IXL—Students have been given access to an online math and
language arts reinforcement website. Students answer
questions based on skills aligned with Nebraska State
Standards. As the students master skills they are awarded
medals within the program. We have several students whom
have achieved 30 or more grade level standards in either
math or language arts and some have achieved as many as
100 or more. The following students have mastered 75 or more skills: Kaden Whitmore,
Ethan Floth, Kaeden Schmidt; Mastered 100 or more: Ethan Shaw and Rowan Jarosik.
machines were left at Sandy Creek for two weeks for students to experiment with. Chad
returned and an open house was held so that students could show parents what they
had access to.
Gary Needham, ESU 9 Robotics--For the next five weeks,
Gary Needham will be at the school personally or via a
robot to instruct all 2nd-5th Grade students on Robots that
are either supplied by ESU9 or purchased by the school. Students are learning
programming sequences and the basics of robotics through this exposure.
PBIS—The pilot and co-pilot for the elementary attended a meeting
in Lincoln with the state director listening to strategies to improve
our model. We continue to reinforce students school-wide who
follow the schools expectations on a weekly and monthly basis. Our
last assembly acknowledged those students who have not had any
TR sheets (infractions), who have had perfect attendance for both second quarter and
first semester, along with all the students who achieved or exceeded their AR goal.
Classroom teachers also reinforce their classes when they have reached specific goals
as determined by the class. Our referrals for the months of November and December
were significantly less than the previous months.
NeSA Writing—The fourth grade students finished the NeSA
writing test on Friday. Two separate 40 minute sessions are
needed for student to write a rough draft and then a final
copy that will be submitted for state grading with the hope
that students will meet or exceed the state standards.
Kindness Retreat—The fifth grade students attended a Youth Frontiers Kindness Retreat
sponsored by ESU9 schools Adam Central,
Sandy Creek, Lawrence Nelson, Hampton,
Giltner, and Harvard. The focus of the
leadership conference is to emphasis a core
character trait that is a proven catalyst for
making schools a better place. The Kindness
Retreat was a high-energy day to give student tools to develop empathy, promote
kindness and prevent bullying. Garrett Orcutt, Alison Story, Tiffney Schweer, Tristan
Hancock, and Corey Lipovsky were asked to be high school facilities for the day.
2nd Grade Students went to Christmas at Stuhr museum. The students got to
experience what life would have been like at the turn of the century with only a wood
burning stove, no running water, and a handmade/homemade Christmas.
Family Fun Night—On January 11th the Kindergarten/First grade level teams hosted
their second Family Fun Night. The theme was Laura Rumenoff books. Activities were
planned around the them of Taking a Mouse to a Movie . . . Give a Pig a Pancake etc.
Attendance again was good as 114 participants enjoyed the activities. The second/third
grade-level teams will be hosting their second event on Leap Day, February 29th with a
super hero theme.
NPPD

beginning at 9 a.m.
P-T Conferences for the elementary will be all day February 11
from 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Students in the elementary will not have
school so that both teachers can meet with the parents from
entire class.
Preschool Registration for 2016-2017—application forms will be delivered to families for
next year enrollment in preschool in the next two weeks. Flyers will be put in public
places in all SCUD #5 towns to recruit all children who are not school age and will turn
either 3 or 4 before August 1, 2016. Anyone wanting to register their child that doesn’t
receive a packet can call the respective elementary schools to have one sent.
JUMP ROPE FOR HEART fundraising event will be held on February 15th at the school. Students in grades 1-5 will
have the opportunity to help raise money for the American Heart Association. (All students in grades K-5 will get to participate in
this event on the 15th). All students who raise at least $5.00 will earn Super Pup with a lanyard AND get to attend a movie &
popcorn party in March (at the school)!
What does a child get out of Jump Rope for Heart?
1. Your child learns about the importance of the heart-how it works, and how to take care of it Students also learn how
to stay FIT FOR LIFE!
2. Your child reaches out to friends and family-when your child talks about their reasons for participating (such as a lost
loved one or a family history of heart disease), it helps them connect the dots to a
healthier lifestyle (and might even
inspire a few other family members).
3. Your child feels good for making a difference in people’s lives! Funds
raised support the heart association’s research and education initiatives
that save lives in
our community. The AHA is second only to the U.S.
government in funding research
in
heart
disease
and
stroke.
ADDITIONALLY, THE SCHOOL EARNS MONEY FOR PE EQUIPMENT
SO WE CAN KEEP OUR KIDS MOVING!
We hope you are as excited as we are to support our students in this important
experience! If you have any questions, please let us know. Visit www.heart.org/jump to
get started today.

ACT OF KINDNESS:
Christmas has always been a time of giving and to Teammate
mentor, Sandy Livgren and Sandy Creek Middle School 7th Grade Teammate mentee, Meadow Houseman
that has not changed. Sandy and Meadow decided to make a tied fleece blanket
together during their time together and then give it away to someone who
needed it. The two of them spent two meetings in December to cut and tie
the blanket, which was made out of a purple and pink “Hello Kitty” patterned
fleece material. After they finished, they brainstormed a few different
possibilities of places they could take their blanket. Sandy and Meadow
decided to take it to Crossroads in Hastings. They made arrangements to
meet at Crossroads on a Saturday in December to deliver it to a 2 yr. old girl.
They wrapped it up and gave it to the young girl and as soon as she opened
the present, she began cuddling with the blanket. Meadow said there were a
few people with tears in their eyes as they watched this “act of kindness”. To
quote Meadow, she said, “It was awesome! It made me feel good to make
something for someone else who needed it!” The two of them enjoyed
working on this project together very much.
PowerSchool Grades
Parents I hope you found your child’s grades to be good from first semester and were
satisfied with their effort. As your child’s Principal I view all these grades and am
impressed with many students and the motivation they have. I recently took honor roll
pictures and will be posting these pictures at both the Middle School and High School.
I always encourage you to keep an eye on your child’s grades as I do work with many
students who I believe could do better and need to focus more energy on their
academics. We have found that many students need to make sure they complete
assignments on time and get them turned in and they will find themselves doing well. I
also would encourage your child to make sure they prepare themselves for test and
quizzes. If the teacher provides extra credit than great encourage them to do it.
Otherwise just make sure they do their work correctly the first time and than their will be
no need to ask for extra credit.
With Focus Time last period of the school day we have provided time for students to
focus on their academics. If they are struggling academically we can line them up with
their respective teacher that can help them one on one to improve their current
academic standing. With this option students need to be taking advantage of help that is
provided. If a student is still falling behind we have been keeping students after school
so they get their work done. If you have any further questions about what we are doing
or how we motivate students to be successful please contact me.
State NeSA Writing
The juniors did their state writing on January 19th and were all here so it was finished
during 2nd and 3rd period that day. The 8th grade students did their state writing on
January 26th at the Middle School. Their respective teachers have prepared them well to
be successful and to hopefully meet or exceed the state test in writing.
PBIS
The Middle School PBIS team attended trainings on January 6th and 7th. The team
members are: Kathy Brennfoerder, Darcie Boman, Michaela Goracke, Keri Dane, Robyn
Vonspreckleson and myself. They are on Level I and continue to move forward at a
good pace teaching all the non-classroom expectations to the students. The Middle
School will be applying for Level II this spring, which then moves into teaching all the
classroom expectations.
The High School Pilot and Co-Pilot which consist of Crystal Hassenstab and I attended
training on January 11th. We primarily discussed teaching social skills as you need to
have a good plan in order to do so and to provide evidence before you can even apply
for Level III. We have just created a schedule of when we will be teaching these lessons
on Friday’s during Focus Time. Teachers continue to work on these lesson plans during
Wednesday and Thursday Focus Times.
Focus on Social Skills – Below you will see what social skills we will be focused on.
Peer Relationships - offering help, being appropriate online
Self-Management - controlling temper, compromising, being appropriate online
Academic - completing work independently, plagiarism
Assertion - meeting new people, initiating conversation, acknowledging compliments,
how to properly introduce yourself and begin a conversation, respectfully (name/name,
eye/eye, hand/hand, heart/heart)
Accelerated Reader
The teachers did an excellent job in working with students and motivating them to meet
their AR goal for the first semester. All but four students at the High School and three at
the Middle School met their goal. Those students meeting their goal enjoyed their
incentive trip to Kearney. On December 14th the High School went to the Big Apple in
the morning and then went to a movie the Mocking Jay Part II in the afternoon. The
Middle School closed out their first semester by going to the Big Apple on December
18th and spent the whole day there. Students and Staff had a great time together
bowling, golfing, and laser tag. Those students meeting their goal also did not have to
take their semester final test, which might have been the biggest incentive a student
could earn.

G.U.E.S.S.(Group United Emphasizing Student Support) is the drug-free youth group at
Sandy Creek! Our group has about 60 members and we get together for drug-free
activities through out the school year. In the fall, all of the members had a root beer
float social and signed their drug-free pledges. For Red Ribbon week, we raise
awareness of drug/alcohol awareness by reading statistics and dangers of use/abuse on
the announcements, decorate the commons, sponsored theme days, and put red ribbons
on vehicles to remind students and staff to stay drug-free. In January, we sponsored a
dance for all students 9-12 and we are planning to attend a Tri-City Storm hockey game
in February. In March, we will host the GUESS Lock-in as a drug-free event and
education opportunity for grades 7-9.
The members of GUESS are going to be doing a fundraiser in February to help raise
money to sponsor drug-free activities and education. We will be selling VILLAGE PIE
MAKER pies for $13.00 each! The pies will be delivered in time for Easter, so be sure
to fill your freezer!
Pies available: Cherry, Blueberry, Peach, Blackberry, Raspberry-Peach, Berry Medley,
Strawberry-Rhubarb, and Apple.
FFA Update
Since our last update the Sandy Creek FFA members have been hard at work. We
would like to thank all of the community members that made our annual Christmas
Green’s Fundraiser a success. The chapter will use this money to support members
who will be competing at state and other leadership functions this upcoming spring.
In November chapter members prepared for district livestock judging and Ag
Communications. Chase DeVries placed 38th out of 190 junior livestock judgers. The
Ag Communications team of Desma Hamilton, Katrina Anderson and Amanda Scott
placed first at districts and qualified for state. Katrina and Desma both placed first in
their divisions of writer and designer. Amanda placed second in her division of
electronic media specialist. Good luck at state.
June and Johnny: Twins born at the beginning of January
On December 15, 2015, we celebrated the end of semester one at our annual FFA
Christmas Party at the Opera House in Fairfield. We had about 20 members show up
for pizza and card games.
January 7, 2016 brought the addition of two new goats to the FFA program. Johnny
and June were born in the early evening hours of a snow storm. The new goats are
doing great and will be exhibited by FFA members this summer at the Clay County Fair.
January is also bringing a new critter to the school farm. We are adding a llama that
was secured from USDA-MARC to be out with the goats. The last addition to the Ag
department in January was the purchase of our new Solo Edition AGCO Drone.
Students were able to fly the drone during good weather and we are looking forward to
using the field mapping software this spring in class.
FFA members competed on January 20th at The Leadership Center in Aurora for District
Leadership Skills Events. The Ag Demo team of Jacob Schlick and Chandler Soucie
