Hello Faithful Blog Readers!
Nothing too crazy to report!
We did get snow on Wednesday!!
However, it did not stick to the ground and it only lasted about an hour.
But still!
PRETTY COOL!!
(we're pretty sure it didn't look like this, but still....cool picture)
In other news...we were featured in two local newspapers (no pun intended)! :)
Please check out the North Platte Telegraph:

Brian had the idea of having his class pick a community project
for their persuasive speech unit.
Brian and Nina came up with the idea of helping foster kids out, since Nina works
directly with the state of Nebraska helping foster kids.
Brian's students loved the idea and ran with it, collecting a MASSIVE
amount of donated items that included:
clothes, diapers, wipes, bottles, toys, coats, stuffed animals, etc!
The community liked the project so much, that they featured it in
two newspapers!
We're pretty excited - and pretty proud of each other and of Brian's students!
Go DHHS & Brady Public Schools - helping the community one step and/or
donation at a time! :)
TEAM FLEMING!
Woo!
Okay, enough gloating, we're pretty excited - and wanted to document this is our
handy, dandy blog. :)
Until Next Time...
Students really do like to help their community. It gives them something to feel proud of. This was a truly great idea for everyone involved.
