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. The Cozad High School National Honors Society organized the food drive this year. Our guest presenters are officers of our local National Honors society. Thank you Lucha, Oliver, Gage, and Bryson for presenting our awards today. Congratulations to this months recipients: Ace Chrisinger, AJ Stiver, Connor Schultz, Jaxen Haarberg, Olivia Hall, and Zulema Velasquez.

CHS National Honor Society Food Drive Results

The results are in, and what an incredible show of generosity from our Haymaker family.

Today, our National Honor Society members delivered all of the food donations to the Cozad Food Pantry, helping support local families in need this holiday season.

Here are the final standings from the 2025 CHS Food Drive:
1st Place – Seniors: 6,736 pounds (No school on December 19)
2nd Place – Sophomores: 2,215 pounds (Dismissed after 3rd period)
3rd Place – Juniors: 1,259 pounds (Dismissed after 5B)
4th Place – Freshmen: 1,179 pounds (Dismissed after 7th period)

In total, 11,387 pounds of food were collected, along with $1,762 in cash donations that will help the food pantry purchase perishable items at a later date.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this effort, and to our CHS National Honor Society members and advisors for organizing such a meaningful service project.
