Each year the lower Elkhorn Natural Resources Districts sponsors a Conservation Poster contest. The goal of the contest is to engage students in learning about natural resources and the opportunities that are available to protect the environment. The theme was “healthy forests equal healthy communities.” With the encouragement of teacher Stacie Baumgart, the secondgrade class from Humphrey St. Francis took part in the competition and had two winners, Noelle Heinen placed first and Brylie Reigle placed third. They follow in the footsteps of Kenna Olmer as she placed second last year. The contest is open to students across Nebraska. Courtesy photo

The second-grade class at St. Francis visited the home of Gene and Gladys Pfeifer on a very windy Feb. 15 to wish Gene a happy 100th birthday, which he marked on Feb. 14. They sang a birthday blessing, visited briefly, and gave him the poster card they made for a gift. The second grade are taught by Miss Stacie Baumgart. Courtesy photo
When busy lifestyles are the norm, grabbing a quick bite to eat from the nearby drive-thru, or eating at the local restaurant, can make it challenging to maintain a healthy diet.

Allison Weidner and her great-aunt Helen Weidner.
After Nebraska defeated Minnesota 93-70 Sunday, Allison Weidner’s family gathered for a photo. The game was played for breast cancer awareness and Allison played in honor of her great-aunt Helen Weidner and Helen was an honorary starter. Weidner scored 23 points to lead the Huskers, and most of Helen’s family was there to watch. Pictured are members of Junior and Helen Weidner’s family and James and Karen Weidner’s family.

Each Husker played in honor of someone fighting cancer. Pictured are Head Coach Amy Williams and the starters, Jaz Shelly, Sam Haiby, Allison Weidner, Alexis Markowski and Isabelle Bourne and the honorary starters who are breast cancer survivors. Courtesy photo
Allison Weidner had her best game of the season so far, and much of her family was in the stands to see it.
