One of the processes during the transition with the new administration, NASB provided the opportunity for the board and administration to sit down and develop goals/plans to move the district forward. The board developed the following goals: 1‐Create a plan to upgrade/expand facilities to provide adequate space in a safe and healthy learning environment for all students.
2‐Develop a timeline to guide the facilities plan including deadlines to: a. Locate architectural plans from previous discussions for review b. Reach out to the Ag Society to research option for expanding to the area
west or north of the current building. c. Contact architect to begin discussions about current needs for space,
maintenance, parking, etc. d. Schedule stakeholder forums and local business site visits to promote the
plans and encourage support e. Research and define budget scenarios to maintain fiscal responsibility to
patrons 3‐Explore options for appropriate use of E‐rate funds and move forward with a plan. The board has reviewed the drawings that had previously been utilized in possible solutions to the growth of the district. We have also met with an architect and directed them to improve on the drawings and start to develop a vision to help with our building needs. The modular have served their usefulness. Our elementary classrooms are full, and we need to expand. We are in need of an elevator for the two‐story building. My next article will deal with the educational leadership goal.

BOBCAT BITS
I wanted to start by thanking all the parents and students that attended the Fall Parent/Teacher Conferences held recently on October 24th, 2018. Many important conversations that occurred between parents and teachers and I am encouraged by the increase in attendance as well. Please keep March 13th, 2019 available for our Spring Parent/Teacher Conferences from 2pm to 8pm.
First quarter has come and gone, so it is very important for our students to really concentrate on their grades. Remember students must have a 70% average (50/50 average of first and second quarters) for the semester in order to receive credit for their classes. Those students that are struggling should be meeting with their teachers before or after school during SST (7:45-8:00, 3:45-4:00) or other times as arranged. Do not let the semester go on too long before you seek out assistance. We are continuing to work on increasing our course offerings for students. If you have any questions about what classes we offer now and what classes we could possibly be offering in the future, please email Mr. Kluver ([email protected]) or Mrs. Hucke ([email protected]). Congrats to a successful season for our fall sports teams, Cross Country, Football, and Volleyball. Good luck to volleyball and football in the post-season. You have done an amazing job representing your school, your families, and your community.
Be on the lookout in the December newsletter for an Applica-tion for Hemingford's School within a School Program for stu-dents to be allowed to take online courses through Odys-seyware. Online courses could be taken because 1) You failed a course and need to make up that credit OR 2) you want to take a class that Hemingford does not traditionally offer. More information will be included in the December newsletter.

School Cafeteria
A few reminders from Mr. Arneson Thanks for everyone who attended conferences. It’s great to have a wonderful turnout. The time change on November 4th will mark the end of shorts for our elementary students. Please make sure everyone has long legwear as we do go outside even when it is cold. On Monday, January 7th, the elementary teachers will be hosting a presenter for a writing curriculum we are implementing. This work day will aid the teachers with specific instructions on how best present the curriculum to the students. On this day, the elementary school will not be in session, however, preschool and 7-12 will be. Also, as per or our bus policy, preschool students who do not have an older sibling to ride with cannot ride the bus. If you are planning on keeping your preschooler home that day, please notify the school. We still have a lot of items in our lost and found. It would be helpful if you wrote your child’s name in their coat so if it is misplaced we can get it back to them.
The Cafeteria Staff would like to thank the following for donating farm to school. School greenhouse/lettuce Deb Campbell/tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, pumpkins Dawn Oetken/tomatoes Nancy Horstman/tomatoes Lynn Weldon/zucchini Sami Hopes/zucchini Alaina Schaneman/tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, zucchini It was all put to good use. Fresh is better!

The Bullying Prevention Program we are using is Steps to
Respect. Students will be practicing friendship-making skills, learning to recognize bullying, learning bullying-refusal skills, learning how to reach out to someone who is being bullied, and developing bullying-reporting skills. It also prepares students for conflicts that may happen when working in a group. If you have any questions, I can be reached at (308)487-3330 or (308)487-3328.

Message from Chamber President, Kathy Gettert
Greetings Friends and Neighbors! Hopefully no one blinked and missed 2018, because we are already a third of the way into the last quarter. One of the great things about living in a small, rural community is that the pace of life is a little slower and more laid-back, but I’m thinking if this is slower and more laid-back, I don’t ever want to experience the fast-paced city life!! In spite of how quickly the year is flying by, we’ve had lots of fun and exciting activities happening in our little community! Return favorites such as Town-wide Garage Sales—with the addition of the Junk Jaunt, Memorial Day Activities including Bobcats Beating Cancer Tournament and Silent Auction, Box Butte County Fair and Parade, and the awesome family event - Harvest Moon Fall Festival, to name a few. Great
new events that were enjoyed by so many folks were the second annual Treats on the Street for out little citizens and Band on the Butte, featuring the Johnny Cash tribute band, Cold Hard Cash. Hope you didn’t miss this one. what an awesome evening! Activities that are still to come are Kris Kringle Christmas Boutique, 2nd Annual Believe in Hemingford Christmas kick-off event and the Hemingford Schools’ sponsored Community Soup Supper. And of course ALL the wonderful events provided by Hemingford Public School students, round out a very busy calendar of events!! It is exciting to see new businesses coming into our community, as well as gratifying to be served by many, many long-time merchants as well. Remember to support
these locally owned businesses – they are here to serve us on a daily basis and contribute much to our local economy! You also may have heard, the Village of Hemingford is working with Genpro Energy Solutions on a proposed Community owned solar project that would enhance our city owned electric system and offer great benefits to our community in the future. Hemingford is a great place to live and work and we hope you appreciate all that it has to offer!! The Hemingford Chamber of Commerce and all the member businesses that make up the Chamber are very thankful and appreciative of the support we get from this awesome community!! Enjoy the fast approaching holiday seasons and we will see you in 2019!
IN HEMINGFORD
Wednesday, December 5th - 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm at the Firehall – serving: Chili, Chicken Noodle Soup and breads TREE LIGHTING at 7:15 pm followed with the MYF Youth Group caroling on the streets of Hemingford! Downtown Businesses will come alive with the Hemingford Art Students creative window/door decorating.
Thank you to Marcie and Chris Thomas for creating this incredible Tree Memorial for the community in honor of the Arbor Day Celebration.
What does it mean to have a local Newspaper? The Hemingford Chamber of Commerce proudly supports its members and we wanted to share that support, in particular for the Hemingford Ledger. In this time of social medial, most news is instant and we become accustomed to it; what instant news does not do is support your community like our local newspaper, The Ledger does. The Ledger prides itself on the work it does and presentation each week that is made through the newspaper. Newspapers across the Nation are seeing fewer and fewer subscribers. The Hemingford Chamber is reaching out to ask you to support a local business and keep our local paper. It is a small price to pay for a year’s subscription; with this subscription you have the latest news surrounding your town, sports coverage, ads that feature your local businesses and so much more. We take for granted the awesome coverage the Ledger provides, week in and week out, and how much we would miss that local coverage and all those photos if they weren’t here. Whenever there is an event that needs advertising and support The Ledger is right there to support the many good causes our great community supports also. Please consider renewing or purchasing a subscription to The Ledger – Box Butte County’s Family Newspaper. Let’s keep our Local Newspaper! Shop Local – Support your Community!
