PENDER PUBLIC SCHOOLS

We had our third 3 year old discovery day this morning. We started with circle time and students engaged in songs. We moved into center time and students had the opportunity to play in the block center, art center, house center and the sand. We had snack in the lunchroom for the first time. Students decorated Valentine cards for their parents and then we played Bingo. We concluded our day with outdoor play.

The JH GBB team picked up two solids wins in the Bob Clough tournament hosted here on Saturday morning. The Pendragons beat Stanton 37-31 in the first round and then went on to beat Howells-Dodge 34-19 in the winner's game. Wakefield was the other team playing on Saturday. The girls look to pick up two more wins this week vs. West Point-Beemer and Tekamah-Herman.
