Principendent Day
The OWLS students have been busy this week! The students visited the ER at Great Plains Health. Steph gave a tour, and she showed them all the cool gadgets. She also talked about how the students can advocate for themselves if they ever have to visit the ER. LifeNet/Air Methods showed us the helicopter and answered all of our questions. Thank you to Great Plains Health and LifeNet North Platte!

OWLS students are partnering with the UNL Extension Office to plant herbs, vegetables, and flowers. They learn the whole process from germinating seeds to transplanting to selling the plants in May. Pete Ricketts' staffers toured the greenhouse as one OWLS student answered their questions.

T-Minus 2 weeks until the OWLS plant sale!!! The students could use your help! We are asking for donations of big sour cream, yogurt, butter, etc. containers and also any old pots you'd like to get rid of. We need them for this year and next year. We will try to have tubs at both ESU #16 offices for you to drop off donations too. Thank you!
