Good evening, Mustang Nation! This is SEM principal Grant Torpin for your weekly update! Last week was an awesome week with so many great things happening for our students! Big shout out to senior Josie Smith on qualifying for State Cross Country! A big shout out to the volleyball team for a great showing at the Fort Kearney Conference Volleyball tournament and bringing home third place! Also, big shout out to the football team for remaining undefeated with a dominating victory against Franklin!
Looking ahead at the upcoming I hope everyone is ready because its HOMECOMING WEEK here at SEM! Get ready for lots of school spirit, fun, and a bit of craziness. Before I go over the events happening this week let’s quickly review each of the spirit day themes.
Monday is Dynamic Duo day so your students can find some friends to dress as either twins or a famous pair like ketchup and mustard.
Tuesday is Adam Sandler day so feel free to dress as your favorite character of his or simply in baggy shorts and an oversized t-shirt.
Wednesday is dress as your favorite staff member day.
Thursday is school spirit day. Here you can wear your favorite SEM shirts or deck yourself out in gold and purple.
Finally, Friday is Hawaiian Day!
I want everyone to have fun and show off your school spirit but at the same time remember that the school dress code still applies.
As far as the events for the week go, we have non-stop action here at wonderful SEM.
On Monday the Juniors will be taking the ASVAB test in the morning and we will have varsity and JV volleyball at Pleasanton beginning at 5PM.
On Tuesday Two Rivers Dental will be in the school for dental checks for those who signed up at the beginning of the year. Later in the evening we will be hosting a volleyball triangular against Twin Loup and ALC. These games will begin at 5PM.
On Wednesday Junior high volleyball will travel to Amherst to play at 1:30 and there will also be the parent homecoming event in the evening. This event will start at 5:30 where they will be serving supper to students in grades 9-12 followed by a scavenger hunt, games on the football field. Afterwards they will move over to the baseball field for a bonfire and car smash. This event should wrap up around 9:30.
Thursday we have our big homecoming games against the Shelton Bulldogs. At 10AM there will be a pep rally in the gym where the public is welcome to attend. Then at 4PM JV volleyball will play followed by varsity volleyball at 5 and then at 7PM the varsity football team will take the field. During these events the friends of FFA will also be serving walking tacos! Also, please note that we will be honoring senior parents at both the football and volleyball games and announcing the homecoming court after the football game!
Friday is the big State Cross Country race in Kearney! Good luck to Josie as she represents Mustang Nation at the highest level! Also happening on Friday afternoon is the Mustangs Olympics which is a fun competition where students in grades 7-12 will be facing off in a ton of different games!
And last but not least on Saturday night we will have our homecoming dance for grades 9 through 12 from 7 to 11PM.
Good luck to all of our athletes during this fun week. I encourage all students to participate in the different activities throughout the week and have a good and safe time showing off your school pride.
That’s it for tonight’s message everyone! Have a great evening and I can’t wait to see everyone first thing Monday morning!

Minden Bandfest Parade Saturday October 15th
The school will be open at 10:45AM. The buses will leave the school at 11:30AM. We will stop in Miller to pick up any students that would like to meet there. If you’re being picked up in Miller have all your uniform and instrument parts with you. Following the parade there will be an awards ceremony at the football field around 3:00PM. We will head home after the awards ceremony. If you need picked up from Kearney we will stop at the gas station right at the turn into the Viaero events center south of the interstate.
Band parents and supporters must pay to get into the awards ceremony. $4 adults $2 students. Students may bring a lunch with them or pay for concessions at the awards ceremony. There will be hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza hut, etc.
This parade has only bands in it and is relatively short. We are 18th of 40 bands. We follow Axtell in the parade order. The parade starts just a few blocks east of CL Jones middle school. The buses will be parked at the middle school. If you would like to take your child home with you from the parade, please meet us at the buses following the parade and be sure to have your permission slip to ride home filled out prior to picking them up.
Thank you for your continued support. We hope the weather will cooperate and we will be able to perform our best. This is our last marching band performance of the season. It has been a great marching band season and we look forward to finishing strong!
