Congratulations to our September Wellness Challenge raffle winners - Mrs. Ellingrod and Mrs. Buchanan kept their focus on wellness all month - good work!


Elementary Parents!
You are invited to spend time in class on Thursday, October 12th.
Make sure to RSVP for lunch and if you want to stay for the Spirit Week Assembly, it starts at 12!


I started my morning today listening to a podcast episode from Amplify about reading instruction. One of the nation's expert teachers had his daughter and nephew on, speaking to their struggles with reading and how that changed their attitude toward school. Much has changed in the average school over the past years for reading instruction - spending time in our classrooms this morning has me confident that our Panthers will not be turned off to education and school due to an inability to read. Our teachers are doing an amazing job of preparing ALL students for their futures.

Our peer accreditation visit from the state will be finishing at this time and the team will give a report on their findings at 2:00 in the multipurpose room. The shortened bell schedule allows all who wish to attend. Buses will run at 2:00 and 4:00.


The kindergarten students learned about self control, focused breathing, AND had fun with bubbles!

Today, students were practicing proper safety and procedures for administering subcutaneous and intermuscular injections. Great conversations were had about the advantages and disadvantages of each!

Casey Buhr is in the Panther Spotlight! Mr. Buhr keeps us all in school by ensuring that classrooms are clean and ready for students to learn each day. He drives routes and trips, delivering students safely to wherever they may need to be. Most important of all, he is alway there to greet you with a smile when you meet him in the hallway! Thanks, Mr. Buhr.


Bronc Vineyard is in the Panther Spotlight!
Bronc is the most kind-hearted young man I have ever met. He would be willing to give you the shirt off his back if you needed it, always thinking of others!!!
From the time he was little, he has always been a "Future CEO." This (not so tiny anymore) boss, is a super hard worker with a gentle soul.
Bronc is gentle, kind, and STRONG when faced with a hard "right" choice vs. an easy wrong choice.
Bronc is a tough man that puts in the work and doesn't do much complaining, he's go GRIT!
Bronc always takes his time. No matter if it is 10 point learning opportunity, an essay, or MAP testing, Bronc can be found thoroughly reviewing his work.
Bronc is an extremely hard working, humble individual. He holds his head up high and stands tall. Bronc cares about others and doesn't hesitate to help in anyway he can.


Lyric Gorzalka is in the Panther Spotlight!
Lyric has the kindest, gentlest heart. She is so coachable and a hard worker. Her determined spirit will take her far here and in life.
Lyric ALWAYS greets me with a big hug!
Lyric shares the best smile and always shows her genuine self.
Lyric is friendly and enjoys being involved in her class and friends.
Miss Lyric is as sweet as can be! She is such a joy in the classroom. She is bright, clever, and funny.


Coping with stress is something that we all deal with differently, and we are forced to do it multiple times per day. I had the great opportunity to discuss positive coping strategies with our students this afternoon.

Our student leaders, Kamy, Dellana and Skye, attended the annual Fall Leadership Summit in Casper. This event is sponsored by the Wyoming Association of Student Council student Executive Board. Throughout the day the students participated in leadership activities, school sharing of ideas and convention planning. Thanks for attending and for your commitment to our school!




Bronc, your Panther family is with you. We are hurting, but as you are a strong young man, we will stand strong for you. Panther family!
