Parents,
This is the new Kids First Program Bulletin Board that is located in the main hallway. Here you will find the weekly schedule for each age group, the teacher they are with, and their location for that day. We hope that this will make it easier for you to find your child when you come to the school. We will also be posting any Important information that may come up. We have also started a new reward system for the Kids First Program. The teachers have Wildcat Bucks cards to hand out to each student when they are seen showing our PRIDE characteristics. They write their name down and the card goes into a bucket. On Fridays we draw a name from each age group and they will get a prize and their picture taken which is hung up on the board. The teachers will also chose a Star student for the week that has set a great example for our students. That student will receive a prize, get their picture taken.

The Cedar Bluffs-Mead Football Team ended the season with a 3-1 record. Weeping Water, Elmwood-Murdock and Talbot all fell victim to the thirty-plus member squad. The team's only loss of the season came at the hands of a very good Clarkson-Leigh team.
Our split-squad fell to Lincoln Parkview Christian in a six-man football game during the last week of the season.
The boys made steady progress throughout the season.
Good job by all the members of the team.

The "Buddy Bench" has officially been installed on the Elementary playground! Again, this bench is in remembrance of the many teachers who portrayed true kindness to all students. It serves as a way to reach out and help those in need. Here are the three rules for the bench;
1. Only sit on the bench if you need someone to play with or just need a friend at recess.
2. If you see someone sitting on the bench, talk to them and invite them to play.
3. If you are sitting on the bench and someone invites you to pay, say "yes."
This special bench reminds us all how important it is to be kind and serves as a reminder than we are all dealing with something different. Choose to be kind, always!
We saw Winnie the Pooh and crew today at school!
In celebration of homecoming week we had superhero day today and 80's day! Here are some of our Wildcats showing their spirit!

Cedar Bluffs Public School will be installing a “Buddy Bench” in our playground this fall. This bench is in remembrance of the many teachers who portrayed true kindness to all students. It serves as a way to reach out and help those in need. There are only three rules regarding the bench:
1. Only sit on the bench if you need someone to play with or just need a friend at recess.
2. If you see someone sitting on the bench, talk to the them and invite them to play.
3. If you are sitting on the bench and someone invites you to play, say “yes”.
Friends make everything better. But we may not always know how to make friends, or how to ask for help. This special bench reminds us all how important it is to be kind. We are all dealing with something and we can all benefit from the kindness of others. We all win when we reach out and make new friends.

To all of our Wildcat family we are in need of your assistance. We are searching for any pictures you may have with students and Mrs. Sukstorf for her memorial. If you happen to have any pictures please email them to dawn.hansen@cbwildcats.org. Thank you for your help.
Funeral Service for Tammy Sukstorf will be at 11 A.M., Friday, July 12, 2019 at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Cedar Bluffs. Visitation will be Thursday, July 11, 2019 from 4 P.M. to 8 P.M, with family receiving friends from 6 P.M. to 8 P.M. at St. Matthew Lutheran Church. Visitation will continue 1 hour prior to the service at church. Burial will be at Union Cemetery.
Principal Ben Hansen states, “Tammy was not only a great person but a great teacher. The teaching profession is not easy and the challenges that kids bring to the table over the course of a school year are countless, but Tammy always found a way to connect with her students. Many teachers are great in many ways, but Tammy was special. Her kindness, patience, compassion, and care for her students ran deep. No matter how challenging a student was, or how difficult a class, she remained poised and always worked to figure out how to personally connect with a student. She was able to do this because students truly felt loved and cared for by her. Tammy could often be seen with an arm around a student, a high five being given, or even tear up with pride when sharing something a student accomplished. She was born to be a teacher and had the personal intangibles that made her able to connect with kids beyond content and made them feel safe, secure and loved. She was a model employee who worked hard, took pride in being a teacher, did what she was asked and was constantly trying to improve. It is a tremendous loss to our school and she will be greatly missed for many years to come.”
If you were unable to attend the grief sessions at the school today but would still like to meet with our counselor Tommy Gerrish, please call the school to set up an appointment.
Dear Parents, Patrons, and Students,
It with great sadness that we inform you of the tragic loss of our second-grade teacher Mrs. Tammy Sukstorf. Tammy has taught at Cedar Bluffs Elementary School since 1994, touching so many lives in the process. We understand that many of you are grieving and we as a school would like to help with that process. The school will be open today at 2:00 p.m. where crisis counselors will be available for any students or parents that just need a comforting place. Please enter through the High School doors, as construction in the Elementary area makes it unsafe for travel.

Attention Bus Riding Families: To try and improve our programs on an ongoing basis we will begin to have bus monitors on some of our more populated bus routes. Monitors will be observing student behaviors and working to enforce bus safety protocols and referrals for unwanted and unsafe behaviors. They will also be evaluating procedures and identifying ways we can improve. If your child comes home and talks about a new adult on their bus and rule changes taking place, this will be why. We hope providing a set of eyes on the bus other than the just the driver's will help the overall atmosphere and safety for our buses.

Dear Cedar Bluffs Families,
I would like to thank you for your support and patience during this unusual time. I know a lot of people have had questions about what “closed indefinitely” means. It has been very difficult to estimate a return date to school given the wide spread destruction. Now that the Nebraska Department of Transportation is opening roads, we are planning on having school Thursday March 21, 2019 with bus routes as usual. We are attempting to call all families in the impacted area to assess needs. If you are in an impacted area and you have not received a call by 6pm tonight, please contact the school Wednesday so we can account for all of our families. Our Crisis team will still be meeting Friday to continue to plan for the relief efforts. The link to the private needs request form is on the Schools Facebook page; if you were unable to access the form please call the school directly at 402-628-2080. Again, thank you for all of your support and understanding.
This private form is designated for our Wildcat families and staff that reside in impact areas of the historic flooding that has taken place. We would like to help in any way possible. Please list any items and/or assistance we can provide to help you in the coming days, weeks, and months and we will do our best to assist you through this difficult time. See link below:
https://goo.gl/forms/0v1YoYLDKsD001s53
Over 200 students and nearly half of our teachers and staff are unable to safely get to school at this time. Therefore, Cedar Bluffs Public Schools will be closed indefinitely to allow time for families and staff to make safety their priority. All sports, activities, meetings, and youth sports will also be cancelled. The Crisis team will re-evaluate the situation on Friday, March 22nd and will provide additional information at that time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this terrible natural disaster, especially members of the Wildcat family that reside in Fremont, North Bend, and other surrounding areas. We would like to offer our support in any way possible, if there is anything the school or community could assist with, please contact Mr.Ptomey at Harlan.ptomey@cbwildcats.org.
Attention Families: On Tuesday, March 19th at 9:30 we will be having an assembly for 4th-12th grade students. The content will be covering bullying, cyber bullying, and being a courageous leader to influence more positivity among peers. Parents are welcome to attend as well. Please just contact the school ahead of time so we can do our best to plan for enough seating. The following is the summary provided to us by the presenter.
Mark & Joni Adler will discuss with students the journey of their son Reid. Reid shared with them that he was having suicidal thoughts just over one month’s time when on January 7, 2016, Reid took his own life changing the lives of many forever. Reid was the victim of intimidation and cyber bullying, a situation his parents knew nothing about until after his passing. Mark & Joni will challenge students to stand up for each other and not allow any type of bullying or inappropriate treatment between students. The final focus will be on using courage and leadership as tools in spreading Hope and Kindness to everyone we encounter, an approach Reid lived and exemplified daily!

Tomorrow Night's Volleyball Game Theme! Games are at 5:00 & 7:00 at CEDAR BLUFFS! Come dressed as the theme and let's build on the attendance at our last home game!
I apologize to those of you that ended up in Clarkson instead of Leigh for the football game. When the opponent is entered it autofills the location and I didn’t catch it. I will get it fixed for next year. Hopefully everyone enjoyed the game. -Mr. Greene
No service at Clarkson Leigh for updates.

EDUCATION FOUNDATION and POUNDING THE PAVEMENT TEAM UP TO RAISE FUNDS
Today the Cedar Bluffs Education Foundation and Pounding the Pavement are introducing a new and exciting fundraiser that we are going to continue throughout the school year and beyond.
It is called Scrip and it will allow us to raise money without families having to spend more than they normally would each day!
Scrip is "shopping cart fundraising" whereby families can purchase gift cards from over 700 retailers for everyday purchases like food, clothing, entertainment, and gas from us at face value.
Each student in the school will be bringing home a brief letter and an order form. Every Friday, each family in our school will receive an order form. The order forms, with payment, will be collected every Monday. Each family will receive the gift cards they ordered on Friday of the same week!
For members of the community that do not have children in the school, order forms are always available in both the elementary and middle/high school offices. The deadline for orders each week will be Monday at 3 PM.
If you have any questions about the program, please call (402-628-2080) or email Mr. Brousek (gbrousek@esu2.org).
We always appreciate the support the families and community give to our students!
ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION!
Due to time restraints, the JH volleyball games on Monday, Oct 8th and Tuesday, Oct 9th at home will begin at 3:00 p.m.
THANK YOU to the huge response and attendance tonight from the fans and the students! That’s a gym atmosphere and the volleyball girls LOVED it!! Thank you, thank you! Let’s see if we can build on that next week!! -Coach Greene
