6. Ace Recipients Recognition
Rationale:
Tinley Wenninghoff was selected as the elementary ACE flyer for the month of January. She was nominated by her teacher, Ms. Corr. Tinley gave a friend some feathers when they didn't have any. Way to go, Tinley! Skyler Ingram was selected as the Ace Flyer for the month. She was nominated by Mrs. McDowell and Mrs. Cleveland. Mrs. McDowell stated that Skyler repeatedly volunteers to do all tasks in lab class. This is impressive as she volunteers when no one else will for the unpleasant tasks such as cleaning. Mrs. Cleveland stated "Skyler works hard in class and sets a great example. She pays attention, works hard and is engaged with the class". Thanks for being a great example. Way to go, Sklyer!

8.7. Discuss, Consider, and Determine the Next Step Considering Junior High Football for 2017-2018
Rationale:
I have heard back from all three schools in which I had sent letters to about the possibility of cooping Junior High Football for next year. Attached is the email response that I received from Alma. Wilcox-Hildreth is interested in having a discussion about the idea, but they mentioned that they will probably want to keep their schedule should we try and do anything which is primarily a Fort Kearny Conference Schedule (SEM, Amherst, Overton, Elm Creek, etc.). Red Cloud also said that they would be interested in having a discussion about a potential coop of Junior High Football. Therefore, if we decided to go ahead with this discussion, I feel that this discussion should include one board member from each school as well as the superintendent and AD from each school. Thus, here is our options based on where we are at this point: 1. Do nothing and continue to play our schedule for next year with a potential of 9 students out for football next year. 2. Talk with Wilcox-Hildreth about the potential of cooping Junior High Football 3. Talk with Red Cloud about the potential of cooping Junior High Football 4. Talk with both Red Cloud and Wilcox-Hildreth about the potential of cooping Junior High Football If we were to do any of the options 1-4, we would want to discuss and consider things like, where practices will be held, when practices would be held, where will home games be played, who is paying for transportation, what will the mascot be, do we purchase new uniforms, who is paying for the new uniforms, who is doing the scheduling, how many coaches do we have, do you have a coach from each school, etc.
