We are doing the RARE Awards differently this year. You will be called for your child's first RARE Award and when they have received all four RARE Awards. They will still have their picture taken and posted on the RARE board and on our website and Facebook for all the RARE Awards they receive.
We have had our first RARE Award winner for Responsibility this year. It is a 4th grade student who was nominated by Mrs. Morash and Mrs. Frey. He is very Responsible! Great job!

The Nebraska State Patrol and the Nebraska Department of Transportation created a School Bus Stop Arm Awareness Video for us to share, please take a moment to watch it!
