🐣 Third Grade Learning in Action at David City Elementary! 🐣
Our third graders were excited to welcome a visitor from the 4-H Extension Office, who helped kick off our embryology project! Today, students learned about the different parts of an egg and began building background knowledge for this hands-on science experience. When our guest returns next week, students will dive deeper into traits, connecting directly to what we have been learning in science class. We are grateful for this meaningful, hands-on learning opportunity and look forward to the exciting experiences ahead in third grade!

🌟 Learning Takes Flight in Third Grade! 🌟
Mrs. Schmid’s third grade class is blasting off into an exciting unit on the solar system during Reading! 🚀 Students had the opportunity to show what they’ve learned so far by working with a partner to create informative and creative posters. Through collaboration and research, they’re building both content knowledge and teamwork skills.
We love seeing our students engaged, curious, and proud of their learning—keep reaching for the stars, third grade! 🌍✨

Thank you to everyone who attended the Bellwood and David City Elementary PTO's Family Fun Night last night and made it a huge success. It was so great seeing families from both schools having fun together! Special thanks goes out to Mr. Brumm for being the DJ, to those that volunteered their time to serve pizza, and for the PTO members from both schools that organized and hosted this event.
Last night, the Scout wrestling team made it to Kearney just in time to see #2UNK take on #1UCO. It also happened to be senior night where Scout alum, Tre Daro, was recognized for four years of wrestling at UNK.
Congratulations to Trevin, Caelan, Brittin and Alexis on being selected to the Class B All-State Symphonic Band! Congratulations to Lorelai on being selected to the Class B All-State Wind Ensemble! They will perform on March 28 at Grand Island Northwest High School.

Everybody loves French Toast Day in Speech Class!
This morning Bellwood Elementary took a virtual field trip to the moon with the NASA Walliops Visitor Center from Virginia. Daniel from the visitor center did a great job explaining facts about the moon and about the upcoming Artemis II mission. Our students were very inquisitive and asked some great questions.
The Lady Scouts fall in the 2nd round of the SNC tournament to Sandy Creek 33-35.

⭐ School Counselor Appreciation ⭐
At David City Elementary and Bellwood Elementary, we are so grateful for the heart, dedication, and care our school counselor, Mrs. Glodowski, brings to our building every single day.
This image says it best—every student, every background, every identity, every learner, every story. Mrs. Glodowski truly lives this mission. She supports our students with compassion, patience, and understanding, helping them navigate both the joys and challenges of growing up. Her work touches classrooms, families, and staff alike, and our school community is stronger because of her.
Thank you, Mrs. Glodowski, for being a constant source of support, encouragement, and care for every child. We are so thankful for all that you do!
Lady Scouts start off conference week with a home win! Lot of contributors led to some stifling defense and some great rebounding. On the offensive side Kambri Andel not only poured in 33 points, she broke 1,000 career points in the process! Great accomplishment and team win!!!
At Bellwood Elementary's Monday Morning Chat (MMC), Ms. Tachovsky gave the students a preview of the upcoming Winter Olympics. Students then divided into their Bellwood Elementary families and competed in different Winter Olympic mock events. We had ice skating, skeleton, curling, and ski jumping. The students enjoyed these fun activities!
