Three Herington High School FBLA Members have started a community service project this winter. They created a 4th and 5th grade basketball team that competes through the Junction City YMCA. They play each Saturday and Sophia Weber, Tyus Becker, and Kenzie Castleberry are the coaches. USD 487 is proud of them for taking the initiative and time to invest in these children. We hope this sparks growth in all students to strive for more!

First grade students recently experienced several fun learning opportunities. On Kansas Day Ms. Susan Mueller read S is for Sunflower to the students. On the 100th day of school, they counted out 10 pieces of 10 different snacks. In science they learned about the first unmanned spacecraft to perform a soft landing on the moon on Feb. 3, 1966. The students made their own "spacecraft" out of paper cups and pipe cleaners. #LevelUpRailers
