Parents we are asking for your help with concession stands. In order to provide meals for all our JH and HS activities we are asking for volunteers to sign up for home events. Each event will already have a group assigned to it but we still need adults to help supervise. We thank you for your support of our students and wildcat activities. You can sign up by clicking on this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4BABAC2EABF4CF8-51207958-concession #wildcatpride

The Wildcat Cross Country team performed well at the Wisner-Pilger Invite on Thursday afternoon. Graham placed 8th out of 103 varsity runners. Camden and Nash were the next two Wildcat runners to cross the finish line. On the girls side, Caitlin ran a strong race to place 51st. She cut her time by over a minute from last year. We had four junior varsity runners place at the meet. Jordan and Areji placed for the boys while Calli and Megan placed for the girls. The coaching staff and all of the runners are excited with the progress of the team! Our next meet is Thursday, September 12th, at Camp Calvin Crest. We hope many of you can make it to our unofficial home meet!

Thank You to all of our almost 160 Wildcat Grandparents who were able to attend our First Grandparent's Day Event in nearly a decade. It was another great day to be a Wildcat!

Thanks to the Ten Free Trees program, an effort of the Nebraska Forest Service and the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum, Cedar Bluffs will be receiving trees for the our school. Despite providing a wide range of social, economic, and environmental benefits, most Nebraska community forests have been in steady and sometimes dramatic decline. Many challenges contribute, including extreme weather, insects, disease, and lack of diversity. The Emerald Ash borer is the latest major challenge added to the list. In an effort to stop this decline and increase community forest resilience, the Ten Free Trees program grants up to 10 high quality trees per project for tree-related educational events and community celebrations promoting trees and fall planting. In addition to simply planting more trees, the program goals include increasing appreciation and awareness of the significant value of community forests in Nebraska. Special emphasis is placed on species diversity and higher impact projects, especially street tree planting and projects in neighborhoods of highest need. Ten Free Trees is supported by the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum’s Trees for Nebraska Towns Initiative, funded by the Nebraska Environmental Trust, the USDA Forest Service’s Community Forestry Inflation Reduction Act funding received by the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum, and the USDA Forest Service Landscape Scale Restoration funding received by the Nebraska Forest Service.
