Good evening, Mustangs Nation! This is principal Grant Torpin here for your weekly update.
Just like every week before, last week was a great one here at SEM. The football team made one of the most impressive runs at the state title in school history and made it all the way to the state simi-finals! Even though they fell to the Patriots on Friday, this season will be one that the school and community won’t soon forget! We hope you know how proud you made your school, community, and families!
Also happening last week was the SEM eSports team punching their ticket to the state finals! This means that every fall activity the mustangs participating in made their way to state tournaments! This is a huge accomplishment and proves that we have great things happening here in Mustangs Nation!
Looking ahead at this coming school week On Monday we have a school board meeting at 7:30 in the evening.
On Tuesday there is the Fort Kearney Conference Choral Clinic in Axtell.
On Thursday evening the One Act Dinner Theater will take place from 6 to 8PM. The One Act team will provide dinner from 6-7. Then around 7, we will go into the Practice Gym to watch the performance! People are welcome to give any donations to help One Act raise money for scripts, props, and other expenses involved in the activity.
On Friday Junior High will wrestle at Curtis at 1 PM
And finally on Saturday the state eSports tournament will be held in Hastings college. We will provide a streaming link on our Facebook page for all to watch.
Looking at the breakfast and lunch menus for the week we once again have some great food getting served up in the cafeteria!
- Monday we will have scones for breakfast and Salisbury steak for lunch.
- Tuesday they will be serving coffee cake in the morning and chicken super nachos in the afternoon.
- Wednesday students will enjoy French toast for breakfast and hot dogs for lunch.
- Thursday they are going to have breakfast sandwiches in the morning and chicken noodle soup in the afternoon
- Friday it looks like they’ll be having donut holes in the AM and Delivered Pizza in the PM.
That’s it for today’s message, have a great night and as always, I can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow morning!
Thanks
