Government students took a trip to the courthouse on Election Day to drop off their ballots and familiarize themselves with the voting process in Clay County.


Sophomores had the opportunity to attend the Connecting the Dots Simulation, which is organized and operated by several local University of Nebraska Extension offices.
Students dove into workshops where they:
🔹 Completed personality profiles
🔹 Took skills assessments
🔹 Critiqued resumes
They then learned how to leverage their unique results to explore career paths that align with both their skills and personality. Plus, students left with new tools to update and strengthen their resumes!
The afternoon brought even more excitement as students engaged in the simulation activity—working in small groups to navigate real-life scenarios and figure out how to pursue education and training for their dream careers.
A HUGE thank you to Educational Service Unit 9 and all the local businesses that sponsored this incredible event and made it possible for our students! Your support helps shape the future of our next generation of leaders.

They have also learned the importance of teamwork in "Bloom Busters", in which they discuss and make decisions to keep Laketown's algae blooms under control.
