We had roast beef on the menu accompanied with mash potatoes, gravy, corn, and a dinner roll. The beef was from McLean Farms, out of York Nebraska. The recipe we used was from the Nebraska Beef Council page. https://www.nebeef.org/recipes/recipe/55598/classic-beef-pot-roast So far the reviews that have come in are very tasty, and so so good, from pre k to our seniors.

Last time to give your input! Dear Families, Our district values your feedback! We are currently surveying Cedar Bluffs families in order to gain insight into your perception of our school and district effectiveness. To ensure we continue to provide high quality, rigorous learning experiences that meet the needs of our learners and prepare them for college and career, we need your feedback. We want to know what you think. To administer these surveys, we have partnered with Panorama Education to conduct our 2024 Family Survey. Panorama safeguards your privacy, keeping your responses confidential. The survey shouldn’t take more than a few minutes to complete, and will be a valuable source of information for us as we work to make our school as good as it can be. You may complete the survey online using a computer, tablet, or smartphone by visiting the website https://surveys.panoramaed.com/cbpsne/8111962678/surveys We thank you in advance for your thoughtful responses. If you have any questions about the survey administration, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 402-628-2080. Thank you, CBPS

Our school is lucky enough to be a part of the Wahoo Area Backpack Program, which provides weekend food bags for students in need. This program provides food items to be disbursed to participating schools. The weekend food bags get sent home with students to ensure they have the meals they need. Next Tuesday, April 23rd, the Wahoo Runza is having a "Feeds the Need" event, where a portion of each sale goes to the Wahoo Area Backpack Program to assist in providing meals for students. Please consider stopping at Runza to help out with this wonderful program! If your family has a need or is interested in being a part of the weekend backpack program, please reach out to Mrs. Fitzgerald: samantha.fitzgerald@cbwildcats.org
