Kindergarten Court is in Session!
Our kindergarteners had a fantastic morning stepping into the courtroom for The Case of the Slimy, Smelly Birthday Cake! A huge thank you to Judge Kelly and the Doniphan County Courthouse for giving our students a hands-on lesson about the justice system. They had a blast learning about courtroom roles and procedures—but the mystery remains… Who really put worms on County Attorney Baskins’ birthday cake? We may never know!
On Monday JH & HS students learned about safe driving practices through the ThinkFast Interactive - SAFE Teen Driver Safety presentation. Teams competed for a spot in the final round by answering trivia and safe driving questions or by competing in other contests. Thank you to the Kansas Traffic Safety Resource Office and the SAFE (Seatbelts Are For Everyone) program as well as the Kansas Department of Transportation for providing this program. Congratulations to Andi & Courtney as the winning team!
