Thanks for bringing the energy, taking your best shot, and kicking off the weekend right. Stay tuned for what the 7-12 MTSS team has in store next week!

We still have several opening for our November 18th blood drive at Summerland. Nebraska and Iowa schools teamed up and here are the results.

From July 1 through October 16, our high school programs have already achieved some impressive results:

- 7,713 units of blood collected
- 889 first-time donors recruited
- 1,719 Power Red units collected
- $83,500 in scholarship money earned

All scholarship money earned go to a Summerland Senior.

Today Mr. Brett Kaczor was surprised by UNL College of Business representative Kendra Ritchie to present him an award for being an outstanding Business Teacher. Mr. Kaczor was nominated by Senior student Charlee Wagner. Charlee's nomination is below. Congratulations, Mr. Kaczor! We are proud of you!

Mr. Kaczor goes above and beyond in business education because he truly cares about his students and wants to see them succeed. He builds strong relationships with students and makes sure they know they can come to him when they need help, whether it is with school, their future, or things going on in their lives. One thing that makes him stand out is how he helps seniors set up job shadowing and work-based learning opportunities. He helps students get real-world experience, explore careers they are interested in, and figure out what they might want to do after high school. Instead of just learning about business in a classroom, he gives students opportunities to see what different jobs are actually like. He also encourages students to step out of their comfort zones, ask questions, and take advantage of opportunities that can help them in the future. Mr. Kaczor is more than just a teacher because he takes the time to get to know his students, supports them when they need it, and wants them to succeed both in and out of school. His willingness to go the extra mile and help students prepare for life after graduation is what makes him such a great business educator.

Congratulations to Haven, Hattie, and Harper (K) on being today's Bobcat Catch of the Day! These girls were nominated for their kind and responsible act of picking up and throwing away trash on the playground! Way to go, girls!
