Tekamah-Herman JR/HS Book Fair March 8-10

March 8-9 Tekamah-Herman Jr/Hs held its first book fair. The fair was open during the school day and during the evening parent-teacher conferences. Book Fairs in the Tekamah Elementary have become a tradition during fall parent-teacher conferences, but this secondary level fair was a first for the school. Many of the high school student center students helped run the fair. Profit from the fair will go to buying books for the Jr/Hs library. Many thanks to all who helped and all who supported our school by attending.

Student Efforts add to Tekamah-Herman MS/HS Media Center Atmosphere

The middle/high school media center has no available wall space. The efforts of these young men and their instructor enhance the media center's ability to post notices, display book reviews from staff and students, decorate seasonally, etc. Their fine work makes a difference for all who enter the facility. Great Job!! Thanks gentlemen!!
