CHURCHILL COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
The library received a new sound-proof study pod, which offers many benefits for students. From being a quiet place to record something for an assignment, to studying, or just having a few minutes to block out the world the pod is a great tool for students to eliminate distractions from the world around them and allow them the ability to truly focus.
“We are so thankful for the Nevada Library Services and Technology Act grant provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and administered by the Nevada State Library and Archives that made this happen,” library specialist Holly McPherson said.
CHURCHILL COUNTY MIDDLE SCHOOL
The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1002 donated new flags for every school in Churchill County District.
Last Thursday, CCMS received its new flag presented by members of the CCHS Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps program. This generous gift is something the VFW hopes to be able to do for our school each year.
“We are so appreciative of this gift and we cannot thank the VFW enough for their support and for promoting patriotism throughout the school and Fallon community,” Principal Victor Schoenfeldt said.
NUMA
Fifth graders kicked off the holiday season with a Christmas-themed treasure hunt.
Each class is competing to uncover the hidden treasure that will be revealed on Dec. 19, just in time for winter break.
Each day students receive a clue and have to work together to try and discover where the clue leads them, hoping each day, that they are getting closer to finding the treasure.
E.C. BEST
All the students at E.C. Best participated in a week full of kindness.
Last week, students in Ashley Youles’ class drew and cut out their own "Grinch Hearts" before they were taped to their desks. Students rotated around the classroom writing kind things on each other's hearts. When they were done, they read the kind things their classmates said about them then hung them up on the classroom bulletin board.
“This is a great way to teach students to recognize the good in each other but also it shows them how other people see them, building their confidence. It was fun to see their faces light up as they read the things their classmates had to say about them,” Youles said.
LAHONTAN
Students in Jennifer Vasquez’s kindergarten class are making a trip around the world, learning about how different countries celebrate Christmas.
The students are virtually traveling around the world to a different country every day to experience different Christmas traditions and cultures.
“The students are excited to come to class each day because they are eager to see what country we are ‘visiting’ next. They have really enjoyed learning about the differences and similarities each country has when it comes to celebrating Christmas,” Vasquez said.
