We have 2 winners of the Metro Omaha Tobacco Coalition No Tobacco Challenge! Fifth grade students learned about the negative health effects of tobacco and tobacco products in Science class. They then made posters to try to educate others on the dangers.
5th grade student Eloise Smith is one of the 5 runners-up for the No Tobacco Challenge, while Declan Kirkpatrick is the grand prize winner. The students have earned a pizza party for their class, books for their Reading classroom, and Declan will have his poster on a billboard in Omaha. Congratulations!

| Girl Scout Troop 48691 invites all 1st grade girls to attend a meeting. As a Girl Scout, your girl will practice leadership like a go-getter, problem solve like an innovator, embrace challenges like a risk taker, and show empathy like a leader in a girl-led and girl-friendly environment. We earn badges while trying new things, make new friends as part of the troop, make a difference in the community, sell cookies while learning to plan and meet goals, explore and care for nature while trying to live by the Girl Scout promise, and so much more! We meet once a month (on the third Sunday) for an hour and try to incorporate fun monthly outings, all while learning what it means to be a Girl Scout. Please have your daughter join us for a meeting on Sunday, November 22nd from 1:30-2:30.
