Cozad Early Education Center began a Kind Kids campaign five years ago. The purpose is to create a positive learning environment and encourage our students to treat others with kindness. Each month, the dedicated teachers take the time to recognize students who demonstrate the Kind Kids way. This month, we were honored to have Mayor Marcus Kloepping as our guest presenter. Our December Kind Kids are: Adriel Besong, Bodi Schmeeckle (not pictured), Naevie Smock, Ezekiel Thornburg, Lane Brandt, and Olivia Young.

An informational meeting will be held on January 7th at 2:00 PM. Auditions will take place on January 12th and 14th. We can’t wait to see you there!

Last night was the first High Gear Haymakers Semester Showcase! HAL (high ability learner) students and their families came to enjoy 4 stations with STEM challenges and a scavenger hunt with riddles and problem solving.

A big thank you to all of the families who attended!
