Dr. Cerny just received a call from Jeff Baldwin that the Nielsen Foundation met this morning and approved a $50,000 grant to the Bancroft-Rosalie Fitness Room.
With the $50,000 the Village of Bancroft already approved, we need only $50,000 to purchase high quality fitness equipment for our students and the community.
The Dinklage Foundation meets in January to act on our request for the remaining $50,000.
Black Hills Energy is also interested in making a donation to the school. Matt has been talking to their rep and we asked that the money go toward the Fitness Center. I should know in the next week or so what amount they have in mind.
We are in the process of ordering the equipment and scheduling delivery.
As the "A" team movie said “I love it when a plan comes together.”

B-R JAG Program teamed up with our elementary Panthers to collect Ramen to supplement NENCAP's local food pantries. The event was also part of a friendly competition among several other regional JAG programs. B-R came out with the win and our 5th grade came out on top as the class with the largest collection! Thank you to ALL our elementary classes for the amazing donations resulting in over 3,300 packages of Ramen!

Our first JH Dance of the year is TONIGHT!
On Wednesday, November 19, 9 FFA students competed at the District LDE’s (Leadership Development Events) at the Nielsen Center in West Point.
According to a 2012 article in Psychology Today titled “the Thing We Fear More Than Death,” well… people are scared to speak in front of others.
But, these students not only did it, but crushed it!
Those reciting the FFA Creed (5 memorized paragraph plus impromptu questions) Jon Dick received a Red ribbon. Barrett Beutler and McKaylee Archer received Purple ribbons. All had wonderful compliments on their scoresheets.
We had 2 students complete in Employment Skills: Tabitha Punke and Cora Cooney. Each was judged on Resume paperwork, etc. and completed a live interview. Tabby earned a Purple ribbon and Cora a Blue.
Aaliyah Soll was our lone Senior Public Speaker. She received a Blue with her speech on "The Healing Power of Horses: Embracing Equine Therapy". She received very good comments.
Finally, we had 2 teams compete in Ag Demonstration. Bailey Murphy and River Soll received a Purple with their demonstration on Food Chemistry demonstrating how Popping Boba is made through an ion exchange. Aaliyah, Cora, and Tucker Siebrandt demonstrated the Progression of Horse Bits through training. They received a Purple as well as 3rd Place and Qualified for State! They will compete at the Nebraska State FFA Convention the last week of March 2026.
