📚✨ Happy National School Librarian Day (celebrated April 4)! ✨📚
Today we’re proud to recognize and celebrate the incredible individuals who keep our libraries running and our students inspired every single day.
A special thank you to our district librarian, Deb Masek, whose leadership and passion for literacy help guide and strengthen our entire program.
We also want to highlight Heather Nuehring and Kari Wood, who are truly essential to our entire school community. While they keep our libraries welcoming, organized, and full of opportunities for students, their impact reaches far beyond those walls. They support classrooms, assist students and staff throughout the day, and step in wherever they are needed. Their flexibility, dedication, and willingness to go above and beyond make a difference in countless ways, every single day.
Please join us in thanking Deb, Heather, and Kari for being such an essential part of our school community!

The Lansing FFA Chapter had 3 members participate in the NICC Animal Science Showcase in Calmar. Members had the opportunity to learn about a variety of topics including the health and care of cows and calves, animal nutrition, the dairy industry, embryo flushing techniques, starting a farm, and much more.
Members also had the chance to hear a presentation from a Kee High alumni, who shared her experiences and the opportunities she has had while attending NICC. It was a great hands-on experience that allowed members to expand their knowledge and explore future opportunities in agriculture!
