October Cougar Culture had us creating, collaborating, and competing to see who could build the tallest free-standing structure using just paper, straws, and tape! We were building and bonding — and as always, we loved every moment spent together!
The preschoolers had a wonderful time trick-or-treating through the school! They loved showing off their costumes, visiting classrooms, and collecting treats from the students and staff.
October is National Principals Month and we have 2 of the best. Thank you Mrs. Totten and Mr. Swanson for everything you do for our LDNE family!
Reminder that today - Wednesday, October 29th- is an early dismissal with NO PAWS.

On the October 16th, 7 LDNE Art students traveled to Doane University to participate in High School Art Day which was hosted by the Doane Art & Design school. Students participated in 3 hands on art activities, as well as did a gallery talk with working artist, Raymond Central HS Art teacher, and Doane alumni, Taylor Craig. Ms. Craig's artwork is currently on display in the art gallery at Doane. It was a great opportunity for the students to experience a college campus, see what it looks like to take college art courses, and meet other art students from Nebraska.
