Congratulations to the September Star Authors at David City Elementary!

Walk, Bike, & Roll to School Day! 🛴🚲🚶‍♂️ Downtown Bellwood was full of energy this morning as our Bellwood Elementary students participated in our annual Walk, Bike, and Roll to School Day! What a fun way to get moving, spend time together, and kick off the school day! 💙 Shortly after 7 a.m., staff met students at the Veterans Memorial, where we walked, biked, and rolled around the area before heading to school in two groups. A HUGE thank-you to all the families who brought bikes to town so our students could take part, and to our staff for helping supervise and make this event possible! 👏 It’s always great to see so many smiling faces out and about in our community. This is a morning our students look forward to every year—and we love starting the day this way! 🌟 #WalkBikeRoll #BellwoodElementary

Updated - Scout Activities for the Week of Oct. 5, 2026

David City Public Schools’ 3rd grade students enjoyed the beautiful fall weather on Friday as they visited the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha! Pictured here are the 3rd grade students from Bellwood Elementary, who had a wonderful time exploring the zoo and making memories together as a class. When they returned to school, students had plenty of great stories to share about their experiences and the animals they saw. The zoo visit was a wonderful culminating activity for their animal unit, giving students the opportunity to connect what they had learned in the classroom with real-world experiences. What a fun way to wrap up their learning! 🐘🦁🦒

Esports Week 3 Results

The Blue River Panthers wrapped up the regular season with their Pink Out games today in Lincoln. After a slow start and a loss to Palmyra, the Panthers bounced back to defeat Raymond Central and finish the regular season with an 18-4 record! A few Panthers also made their mark in the record book today. Taylor Slonecker tied the school season record for hit-by-pitches, while Abby Lindsley broke both the career RBI record and the career innings pitched record. Congrats! Now it’s time for postseason softball! The Panthers will begin district play Thursday in Crete at 4:00 pm. 🩷🥎
