A group of our 8th grade girls went to the University of Nebraska Kearney on March 30th to learn about Latino history. With the theme of "Cultura es nuestro superpoder," translating to "Culture is our superpower," it was inspired by Latina culture. It is so heartwarming to watch how our students take interest in cultures outside of their own or learn more about their culture and their history. They learned many things such as self-discovery, the power of their last names, safety and wellness, academic growth, and finally digital literacy. Safe to say that they had a great time learning at the University of Nebraska Kearney.

The Set Crew of Newsies Jr. and the Backstage Crew of Alice in Wonderland had an incredible opportunity to go behind the scenes at the Orpheum Theater in Omaha! 🎭
Thanks to Omaha Performing Arts and IATSE Local 42, students participated in a hands-on backstage workshop where they explored essential technical theater skills like rigging, ropes, lighting, audio, and stage management.
Even more exciting—after learning each skill, students put it all into action! They collaborated to produce a three-minute performance of Phantom of the Opera, calling cues, running lights and sound, and even operating the ropes to move curtains.
What an unforgettable experience that truly enhanced their knowledge and appreciation of technical theater!
