Students at Meadowlark Elementary School had a special surprise last Monday as members of the Seward County Saints men's basketball team visited classrooms to spend time with students and staff.
The sophomore players stopped by Miss Lewis’ first grade classroom and Miss Padilla’s fifth grade classroom, where they shared SCCC goodies, answered student questions, and joined in for story time. Students enjoyed getting to meet the athletes, learn more about college basketball, and build connections with positive role models from our community.
We are thankful to the Saints for taking time out of their busy schedules to invest in our students and create such a fun and memorable experience at Meadowlark!

Last Friday, Meadowlark Elementary wrapped up the year with our final school assembly and it was one to remember!
Our 5th grade students led the entire assembly with support from Mrs. Hermreck, sharing jokes, celebrating birthdays, and organizing games for all grade levels.
We were also excited to welcome players from the Seward County Community College men's basketball team, who joined in the fun! Older students competed in Knock-Out, while younger students showed off their skills in a dribbling obstacle course.
It was a great way to celebrate the year, highlight student leadership, and have some fun together. Thank you to everyone who made it such a memorable event! 🏀👏

Our 5th graders have been hard at work as scientists in their classroom, closely observing worms and recording what they notice—just like real researchers! Students practiced patience, careful observation, and critical thinking as they watched how worms move, where they choose to settle, and how their environment affects their behavior.
Activities like this help students build curiosity, strengthen science skills, and make learning come alive. We love seeing our learners so engaged, thoughtful, and excited about discovering how the world works!
