The First Grade Students at Central, in their Knowledge Unit, have been studying Fables and Folktales from different countries. Several high school students from Ms. Davidson’s Honors One Class came to Central to read some of their favorite folktales and fables to the first graders. It was a great experience for all!
The Jeffs’ Best Award was created by the Fairbury Public Schools Board of Education to highlight and celebrate the great work of our staff.On behalf of the Board of Education, I would like to congratulate Heidi Miller, FHS Office Secretary, as the recipient of the October Jeffs’ Best Award this school year!
Here was the nomination statement:
“Heidi has been with the school for 13 years. She is really good with everyone that walks into the office at the high school. No matter how rough her day is she still has a smile on her face. It’s going to be hard to find someone like her and someone that loves the kids as much as she does. It’s going to be hard to see her leave in nov. I have seen Heidi cheer up so many kids in the past few months that I have been working for the school. Heidi is always there to help out anyone or she will be there to vent too. Good luck with everything Heidi.” She is a very deserving recipient!
The mission of the Nebraska Department of Education is to lead and support the preparation of all Nebraskans for learning, earning, and living. As Nebraska schools navigate the complicated transition into the fall, students must be connected, present, engaged, and supported across all learning modalities. Attendance was critical before COVID-19. Now attendance and access look different. The purpose of this document is to outline helpful resources and considerations for parents, families, and providers.
Public Health Solutions would like to encourage everyone to help become a Flu Fighter. When more people get the flu shot, many less people will become sick with the flu and so there will be less people spreading influenza to others. This is especially important if you are around babies or the elderly. Most healthy school age children may not experience complications to flu, but could risk exposing an elderly grandparent or baby brother/sister to the virus. The elderly and infants under 6 months of age are at a greater risk to have serious complications.
We do plan on following the State’s procedure of only having injectable vaccine. This means no flu mist will be available. Please be certain to talk to your child so they are aware that they will be getting the shot again this year.
Public Health Solutions District Health Department will again be offering flu immunization clinics for students at your school. Prior to the start of clinics, students will bring home consent forms and fact sheets explaining the importance of getting the flu immunization. As parents or guardians, you are encouraged to read the information carefully, complete and sign the consent form and send it back to school with your student.
One lucky student will be a double winner! Not only will they have received protection against the flu by getting a flu shot they will also be entered into a drawing. Public Health Solutions will enter all students who return a completed permission form AND get the flu shot the day of the school clinic into a drawing for a $25.00 gift card. One lucky name from each school district will be drawn at the end of the school clinic day.
Public Health Solutions District Health Department will be at your school on Wednesday, October 3, 2018. For more information, contact your school health office, or Public Health Solutions at 402-826-3880.

Flu is a serious contagious disease that can lead to hospitalization and even death. You have the power to protect yourself and your family this season with these three actions to fight flu.
Preschoolers have been learning about themselves for the last 4 weeks. Our focus included body parts and the five sense. This is their favorite activity to practice body parts. Meet Mat Man!! They sing along and build him, one part at a time, making learning about body parts and five senses so much fun.
The Cheer Clinic presented by the Fairbury Jeffs Cheerleaders is quickly approaching! Forms went home to elementary students last week and are due Wednesday, September 23rd to your student’s school office. Please print and fill out this digital form if you need a replacement
In Mrs. Stanton’s preschool classes, the students have been learning, playing, and creating with wood pieces. The wood pieces we work with are big lines, little lines, big curves, and little curves. Wood piece play takes children from the very beginning to teach everything they need for readiness to pre-writing. To children, it’s just play-but this is play that leads directly to school readiness skills.
