I felt like writing a response to the following Nebraska AP news release last week. Here's the news release:

Fewer than third of Nebraska juniors met ACT benchmarks

(Submitted by CHS FFA Reporter Billy Tidyman)The Chadron FFA Chapter was represented well on Wednesday, November 15, at CSC where members competed in different speaking events. A big congratulations goes to our three state qualifiers: Hunter Hawk, who was district champion in Senior Public Speaking, Jake Lemmon, who was district champion in Employment Skills, and Renee Redfern, who placed second in Cooperative Speaking.

(Submitted by CHS Junior, Peyton Beaver)In Advanced Biology we are learning about amphibians. On Thursday, November 9th we completed a frog dissection. This dissection allowed the students to get a better understanding of the frog's anatomy.

This week CHS celebrates Apply to College Week.  On November 8th all seniors expected to graduate at the end of this academic year will be encouraged to apply for admission to at least one college or university.  The purpose of this week is to acquaint students with the college application process and to communicate the importance of applying to college. Check out the list of events.

The Chadron High one act team will be presenting “John Lennon and Me,” by Cherrie Bennett, on Friday November 10th and Saturday November 11th. The play tells the story of a young girl who suffers from cystic fibrosis and has spent her life in a children’s hospital. It is a touching story of her battle with an incurable disease while learning about friendship through humor and hardship.

Suicidal thoughts, much like mental health conditions, can affect anyone regardless of age, gender or background. In fact, suicide is often the result of an untreated mental health condition. Suicidal thoughts, although common, should not be considered normal and often indicate more serious issues.

Chadron High School Junior, Dylan Waldron sustained multiple injuries last week in a single-vehicle accident while driving to school. He is recovering well in a Denver area hospital. There are many efforts underway to raise donations for the family's expenses.

Donations can be made to the Dylan Waldron Benefit Account at the First National Bank of North Platte.
