Cambridge Public Schools -

Third grade has been given the opportunity to hatch baby chicks! Last week, Mickayla from the Nebraska Extension office came out and helped us get everything set up and started. This week, we’ll be candling the eggs to check on their progress… and then comes the hard part—waiting for them to hatch! We’re already so excited and can’t wait to meet our chicks! 🐣 #TrojanWay

Trojan Troops will take place this Wednesday for the Teacher Inservice 10 Late Start. Please fill out the form to attend Trojan Troops.

(Please note the following: On Wednesday morning, April 15th, Cambridge Public Schools is going to perform a Lockdown/Evacuation Drill during our 10 am Late Start Inservice. This drill will ask staff, and some students who have been allowed to participate in the drill by their parents, to go through the procedures that will exist if the district must ever employ this type of situation. Furnas County Law Enforcement will be on-site to work through these procedures, along with district personnel. The drill itself will last around 45 minutes.
Students involved in Trojan Troops on Wednesday morning, unless otherwise specified, will not be a part of the Lockdown/Evacuation Drill. The HS Gym area will be excluded from the drill, and those students and staff who take part in that program will proceed per normal.)

Cambridge Public Schools received a grant for the "Anne Frank: A History for Today” exhibit created by the Anne Frank House and the Anne Frank Center. The exhibit is part of the program of youth activism (Otto Frank's mission). The surrounding communities have an opportunity to hear Anne’s story from the Cambridge students in the upcoming week.

The McCook Community College Paint-in was another success! After receiving the theme of "Ripple Effect: showing how actions, choices, or moments can create change and impact others in ways that spread outward" at 9:15am, our team of Irmina Cramer, Kylie Koeppen, and Liz Palos got to work planning what they would paint to represent their story on this theme. They planned their time well and finished under the required time at 11:45am. Awards were given at 1pm and the team took Honorable Mention out of 29 teams! Competition was stiff, and I'm super proud of how they brought it together with great color combinations and story flow. In the gallery competition, Irmina won Judge's Choice for her mixed media painting "Self Portrait at 16" and 3rd place for her Reduction Printmaking "Our Lady Envy." Way to go Irmina! ~ Mrs. Howell #TrojanWay

Cambridge Public Schools is honored to share an amazing opportunity for most of the month of April. Through a generous grant, we were able to obtain a traveling program exhibit “Anne Frank: A History for Today” created by the Anne Frank House and the Anne Frank Center. Students volunteered to be part of a two day training to become peer guides and will be leading student and patrons through this visual learning experience. Be on the lookout for the community nights as well as invitations to area schools for tour sign up times if you wish to take part in this opportunity. Our students have worked hard and are eager to share their knowledge with all of you. #TrojanWay

Cambridge community comes through again! Thank you Tara Gross for coming to talk to the Fundamental Communications class about taxes. The kids asked some great questions! #TrojanWay
