Ainsworth Community Schools

On Tuesday, March 10th, 4 juniors attended a college visit to Mid-Plains Community College in North Platte. We were able to tour lots of programs and personally visit with the professors in each area. We also received tours from Ainsworth Alums Jhett Hollenbeck and Scott Fernandez. It was a great experience for everyone!

The AMS quiz bowl team earned the runner-up trophy at the quiz bowl hosted by ESU 17 on Tuesday, March 3rd. Team members include: Buck, Keith, Leighton, Onyx, Blake, Paul, and Max.

March 2 is National Read Across America Day! The day was established by the National Education Association (NEA) in 1998 to help get kids excited about reading. The day occurs each year on the birthday of beloved children’s book author Dr. Seuss. On National Read Across America Day, students, teachers, parents, and community members around the nation come together to read books and celebrate the joy of reading. Since we know that reading is important, McAndrew Elementary (grades K-5) will be celebrating all week with reading themed days and activities. Please join us in celebrating reading!

On Wednesday, February 18th the sixth graders visited the Ainsworth Wastewater Treatment facility to learn how sewage water gets cleaned before it is released into Bone Creek. We thank our tour guides, Steve and Doug!
