, Thoughts from the Principal
As we prepare to turn our calendars to Febru-ary, many of us will spot Valentine’s Day and think of things normally associated with the holi-day. As you can imagine, this holiday tends to cause a fair amount of activity at a school. Over-all, I have a weakness for Valentine’s Day, espe-cially in the elementary, as it usually has nothing to do with romance and everything to do with giving a card, candy, or note saying “be mine” to a friend, buddy, etc. There aren’t that many days when society goes out of its way to be extra nice or kind, so I truly appreciate that Valentine’s Day brings out positive acts from us. In today’s frenzied digital life, it is easy to forget to acknowledge the goodness in those around us. So this Valentine’s Day, I invite you to not just post something on Facebook, but to go out of your way to do something nice for those around you. Maybe you can split a bag of pop-corn at one of the many events we have coming up. Speaking of events and games CONGRATU-
LATIONS to the Boys basketball team on their
3rd place finish in the Conference Basketball
Tournament! The ladies went 1-1 in the confer-
ence tournament and the Conference Wrestling
meet will be Friday, February 2nd in Arnold. The
girls and boys basketball teams will play in the
D1-10 sub-district tournaments held at Kearney
Catholic High School this year. If you check the
updated calendar insert you’ll not only find the
dates for these events but also see that there are
plenty of other activities this month such as Dis-
trict Wrestling on February 9-10th at Oakland-
Craig High school, and the State Wrestling Meet
February 15-17th at the Century Link Center in
Omaha. February is a busy month for the Speech
team with meets taking place almost every week-
end! We have 9 students participating this year
with most competing in multiple events.
Trying to keep Academics a priority and juggl-
ing all of these events keeps our students busy.
Somethings staff have to take into consideration
when planning around events are that we’ve
moved MAP testing to February so we won’t be
doing MAP assessments on top of State Testing
in March and April. If you have questions about
the changes in testing don’t hesitate to stop in or
call the school.
You can find out more about the upcoming
assessments at Parent/Teacher Conferences on
Thursday, February 8th from 2:30-6:30pm. If you
can’t meet with your child’s teacher at this time
please contact them to set up a meeting to discuss
your student’s progress. Mrs. Schauda and I will
be available to help if you have questions about
setting up your parent PowerSchool or Schoology
account. You can use PowerSchool to check your
student’s grades, attendance, and lunch balances,
and Schoology is our learning management sys-
tem that teachers and students use to send infor-
mation and assignments between each other.
As you can see there is plenty going on. Be-
cause of some of the last minute changes I’ve
been using the automated calling system to send
out alerts for changes as well at weather related
announcements. If you are having trouble with
the system or haven’t been getting the calls you
aren’t alone. Please notify the school if you have
had any number changes or if you haven’t been
getting the calls from the school.
Thank you and until next Month Go Wolves! - Cory Grint

DRIVER EDUCATION CLASS in Sargent this summer!
Families can sign up their student to take a Driver Ed class in Sargent this summer!
The class will be taught by instructors through the Nebraska Safety Center.
The Driver Education Class taught through the Safety Center is an in-depth course
with the majority of the coursework done at Sargent and one day at the driving range
in Kearney. If your student is under 18 years of age, passing the course results in
waiver of the written and drive test at the driving examiner office. This course con-
forms to the rules and regulations of the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles
and exceeds the criteria established for insurance discounts. This summer’s classes
will be held in early July, but I haven’t received a confirmation date yet. Scheduling for
on-street driving and testing will be arranged at the mutual convenience of the stu-
dents and instructor and will be conducted in the local area. The fee for the course
will be around $330. The Safety Center does require that the students have a school
or learners permit for the driving portion of the class.
Scholarship News!
Previous graduates of Sargent High School have the option of applying for a new source of
funding as they further their education. The Everhart Family Sargent High School Scholarship is
for graduates of Sargent High School that have completed at least one year of college and will be
enrolled as a fulltime student. The scholarship was created in memory of Harold and Mary Jose-
phine (Jo) Everhart. It will be awarded to a Sargent graduate who shows drive, determination and
strong character. The scholarship provides (one) $1500 per semester for a total of $3000 per year
paid directly to the school. The scholarship maybe applied for yearly and past winners are eligible
to reapply. Applications are due April 1st and the winner will be notified by May 1st. Any ques-
tions about the application may be directed to Kristin Slagle. The application is available either as
a fillable form or as a pdf on the Sargent Public School website under the Bulldog Education
Foundation tabs or on Mrs. Schauda’s scholarship page. This scholarship could make a big differ-
ence for some deserving students and we are thankful to the Everhart Family for the opportunity
given to the graduates of Sargent High School.

ACT & SAT - College Entrance Exams
The ACT and SAT are exams that students take as part of the admissions process into most 4 year colleges
and Universities. The ACT is accepted at almost all colleges in the United States while the SAT is preferred
by some schools on the east and west coast. We recommend that students interested in attending a 4 year
college or University take the exam at least twice, once in the spring of their junior year and once in the fall
of their senior year. You can register on-line for the ACT at www.actstudent.org. To register for the SAT
go to www.collegeboard.com. To register for either test you will need the high school code 282-090. You
will find the test dates and registration deadlines listed below.

5th Annual Career Exploration Day December 21st was the 5th annual career day that has been hosted at Sargent Public Schools
for Sargent and Loup County 7th – 12th grade students. This day has been an opportunity for students
to explore various careers and gather information about those careers that interest them. This year we
were able to bring in about 16-18 different speakers to share about the path they took to get to where they are today. We also had 10 businesses and colleges for students to glean information from about
colleges and career opportunities.
Students had the opportunity to select three breakout sessions on various career speakers of their choosing. There was a broad range of options for them to choose from. The students selected speak-
ers with careers in business management, education, agri-business, occupational therapy, physical
therapy, machinist, taxidermy, physicians assistant, law enforcement, audio and video technology,
hunting guide, and lawyer. The students had a 4th -40 minute session to be in the the gym to talk to college representatives and businesses that shared information about their programs and career op-
portunities they can provide. Western Nebraska Community College kept many students engaged
with their aviation repair program who brought a mock jet engine and their information technolo-
gy/robotics program and brought several robots for the students to try out.
The day ended with our keynote speaker, Ken Waters, who encouraged the students to work hard to
achieve their goals. He also helped do some mock interviews with our seniors so they could gain ex-
perience interviewing. The day was a success with all our students being exposed to career options
and many of them making connections for future opportunities.
Ken Waters speaks about working
hard to achieve your goals.

The Art Department did a great job at the MNAC Art Show this year. We had students place and quite a few students get Honorable Mentions! A big Congrat-ulations goes to Quade Young for receiving 1st place in Printmaking for his “Deer in the Trees” print. His print will be on display at the Wild Rose Gallery in Broken Bow, February 12th through March 3rd. Other students that placed are Shawn Quandt for his “Deer” print (5th), Tera Horky for her “Magazine Vase” (2nd), Elijah Conner for his “Mag. Vase” (4th), and Nolan Osborn for his “Sour Patch Kids” painting (4th). Students receiving Honorable Mentions in-clude Natalie Decker for her “To Be or Not To Be” print, Ethan Niles for his “Blue TeaPot”, Abby O’Conner for her “Dragon”, Andrea Maldonado for her “Big Blue Whale” watercolor, Miles Putnam for his “TL Wolves” digital media, Garett Schneider for his “Mountains” dot art, Elsie Ottun for her “Sailing” dot art, and Vivi-an Slagle for her “Twix” paint-ing. I am very happy with how all the students art projects did espe-cially after seeing all the competi-tion we were up against! The stu-dents art will be up in the hall by the music room for everyone to view. It would be great for every-one to make it to the Wild Rose Gallery in Broken Bow February 12th-March 3rd to see the other works from the MNAC Art Show. Good Job to everyone that took work! Mrs. Smith
