PALLS Preschoolers had such a great day picking apples at the Smith Orchard. They picked as many as they could carry, sorted them by good and bad, helped squish them for cider, and then ate one for snack! 🍎
Our dedicated Superior FFA members demonstrated remarkable commitment by participating in the state Milk Quality and Products contest in Grand Island on Labor Day, Saturday. 🥛 The team diligently utilized their Friday off to engage in a mock contest, ensuring thorough preparation for their various performances on Friday evening. 🏆 For those unfamiliar, this contest, made famous by Napoleon Diamante, challenges members to identify diverse milk and cheese varieties, detect defects in milk flavor, and complete a written examination on the safe handling and storage of milk products. 🧀 Their hard work and dedication paid off, as Superior FFA secured an impressive 6th place as a team. 🥇 Additionally, our outstanding member, Faith Butler, achieved an exceptional 12th place individually. 🎖️ We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the entire team for their remarkable accomplishment! 🎉

Please help us give a warm welcome to Megan Pahl, our new fifth grade teacher.
🍎 5th Grade
~ 5 years as Center Director and Director of Education at Sylvan Learning Center in Kearney, 10 years at Kenwood Elementary School in Kearney
~ 2 boys: Huxtyn - 5, Kindergarten and Parker - 12, 6th grade
~ My parents, sisters, grandma, and aunts & uncles both live close to Superior, or even Superior
~ We enjoy going to the lake, swimming, and spending time together with extended family. I enjoy reading and learning, for both professional and personal enjoyment, as well as working on puzzles. Parker played on a travel hockey team last year, so that was a fun and new learning experience for both of us! My favorite season is fall, and I enjoy watching the Husker volleyball and football teams.
~ I am excited about teaching at Superior for the fact that I am back to that smaller community that I was used to growing up. I am looking forward to the smaller class sizes, and being able to build relationships with my students in a smaller environment. I am excited about the direction that I am seeing and hearing the district go in regards to academics and teacher support and training. The welcome that I have received so far has been wonderful, and I believe that it speaks volumes of the community, as well as the district as a whole! I can not wait to get to know more people in and around Superior, as well as getting my boys involved in things that I remember doing, growing up in a small town!

Please help us give a warm welcome to Morgan Kroeger, our new business manager.
I have 8 years of experience in payroll, budgets, bookkeeping, and various tax preparation.
Something fun about me is I always love to laugh! If I’m not laughing and hanging out with my friends, I’m watching their kids at their sporting events. I also enjoy playing with my dog Cricket and the neighborhood cats that roam around! Oh and I can’t forget, if I get the chance to nap, which is rare anymore I sure do love a good ole fashioned nap session!
I’m excited to come to Superior Public Schools and share my knowledge, experience, and skills in accounting and gain some valuable skills under the guidance of Kim Williams to help the school continue to thrive!

Both 5th grade classes learned about flag etiquette from Mr. Rhodes today!
Internship students worked on their communication skills, by playing a fast paced game that involved both talking and listening.
Third grade WILDCATS enjoyed practicing following directions while reading The Right Story. Students then discussed how this activity helped them keep their eye on the target in their learning! They have worked so hard on their listening and following directions skills this first 4 days! Keep up the Good Work!
