There is a 6th-12th grade vocal and instrumental concert on December 20th in the Chadron High School auditorium.  The band concert will begin at 6 PM and the choir concert will begin at 7:30.  We are looking forward to some great holiday music to get us into the Christmas spirit.

On December 11th, 8th grade students participated in the Chadron High School’s FBLA Monopoly game.  The purpose of the game was to teach students about the value of money and commerce.  The FBLA club did an excellent job organizing the event and it was a lot of fun.  Thank you to all of the local businesses that set up booths for the game and to FBLA for including the 8th graders.
