Due to multiple activities and a lack of available coverage, Thayer Central Schools will have a K-12 staff work day with no students on Thursday, May 14th.

Preschool students will still be in session on this day at regular times with transportation provided. Preschool's last day schedule and graduation will proceed as planned at 10AM and 2PM.

Again, there will be no school for K-12 students on Thursday, May 14th with a regular preschool schedule.

Thank you!

Do my ACT scores really matter? Does my high school cumulative GPA really matter? The answer is YES THEY BOTH DO! If your ACT score is good, but your GPA is not, this can give off alarming red flags to colleges as they are left wondering if you have the ability for great academic achievement but lack the work ethic needed to succeed at the next level. If you are debating whether or not to take the ACT again, here is what it could mean for you:

At a 4-year public institution a composite of a 21 and up can range from $1000/yr all the way up to potentially full-tuition ($6057-$8730). These colleges also offer merit based scholarships looking at your GPA & ACT score for those full-tuition scholarships.

At a 4-year private institution a composite of a 21 and up can range from $2500/yr all the way up to a competitive full tuition scholarship ($10,170-$48,700). These colleges also offer merit based scholarships looking at your GPA & ACT score for those full-tuition scholarships.

At a 2-year public institution a composite of a 21 and up can range from $1620/yr up to $1643/yr ($2,100-$4,860)

There are several colleges in South Dakota that also offer In-State Tuition for Nebraska residents based on your ACT & HS cumulative GPA

Marketing students recently visited Sysco (wholesale restaurant food distributor) as part of their food truck creation unit. Students were able to tour the facility to learn about the process of picking and packing orders in both the dry and cold storage areas.
The highlight of the trip was the tasting kitchen in which students were prepared 2 dishes by Chef Michael Rhoades. He shared the process of helping restaurant owners develop their menu and perfect the ingredients used.
Students will wrap up on Friday with the food truck competition in which students in grades 7-12 will vote for their favorite themed truck! Stay tuned for results.

Miss Wiedel's class took a virtual field trip to Washington, DC today. As part of the US 250 celebration, they joined The National Park Service and two of its rangers for an informative presentation about the changes to our National Mall and Monuments. We focused on the changes to the Monuments and Mall at the early stages of our country, at time of our Centennial and our Bicentennial. The 2 images of the mall included with this article are of the Lincoln Memorial dedication and the military buildings that were on the mall from 1918-1971. Most of the military buildings were taken down after the Pentagon was built. Other classrooms from Massacusetts, Virginia, Indiana, and Maryland participated and asked questions of the rangers. Happy 250th Birthday to the USA!````
