Thank you to Alexis Schmidt, Daniel Andrews, and Heather Mumm for coming to both 3rd grade classes to teach students about ways they can become involved in their communities through 4-H, Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts
3rd grade loves building background knowledge before our stories. One way we’ve done so this semester is by having Brandie Conway teach us CPR and about calling 9-1-1. For our last story about community service, students made Valentine’s Day wreaths for residents at Fairview Manor. This week’s story about trying again had students building card towers and trying new ways vs giving up to find success.
No, bond funds will make up part of the additions and renovations at the elementary school. Most of the additions and renovations will be funded through the Qualified Capital Purchase Undertaking Fund (QCPUF) which allows money to be levied by a school board for Safety and Security Infrastructure projects and ADA projects. This money would be used to pay for the new front entrance and office area as well as the ADA bathrooms. The other parts of the project would use money from the bond in order to be built.

There will be no school on Wednesday, February 12th.
The preliminary bond tax levy is 27 cents per $100 of valuation. This would equal $270 per year per $100,000 of property valuation. An individual tax calculator can be found here https://www.fillmorecentralbond.org/o/fillmorecentral2025bondinformation/page/financial-impact. The tax calculator will allow homeowners and AG Land owners to calculate their preliminary tax impact of the bond. AG Land is figured at a different rate than other property and the tax calculator will figure both for you.
Tobin Buchanan explains how LB2 (ag land is assessed at 50% for school bonds) affects the financial impact of the bond issue.

First grade classes ended their solar system unit with a trip to the Hastings Museum on Friday, Feb. 7. In the museum's planetarium, students were able to see the planets and constellations in the night sky. Students learned about the invention of Kool-Aid and mixed up their own flavor. Last, they all enjoyed the IMAX movie, The Animal Kingdom.
