The school year is moving along at a fast pace. The calendar has flipped over to November and Thanks-
giving is fast approaching. That also means that the Nebraska weather is changing. Depending on the
day it may be seasonably warmer, or winter weather could be here before we know it. We would like to
let you know the protocol that may cause late starts, early outs, and school closings.
When winter weather hits, we monitor it closely. If a storm moves in overnight, we go out and check the
roads and make a decision. The decision to have regularly scheduled classes, a late start, or close
school for the day is made before the buses leave the school parking lot. If the winter weather hits when
school is in session, we will again monitor the situation closely to determine if classes should continue
regularly, or if we should issue an early dismissal. In all situations, we will be using our automated calling
system to notify school families. The calling system is set-up so that you can receive a phone call, text or
email, or all three. If you need to update contact information for the automated system please contact the
school office at 308-362-4223. In addition to the automated system, the school weather information will
be broadcast on local television, radio channels and the school social media accounts. In all early dis-
missals and late starts, buses will run accordingly.
In closing, I want to wish all of the Maywood School Families a Happy Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is
one of my favorite holidays; it reminds us to celebrate with thanks and count our blessings. So many
things become little when we realize how lucky we are to have what we have. I am thankful to be around
such great students, staff, and school families here at Maywood Public Schools. I want to wish everyone
a Happy Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Maywood FFA News
By Karlie Gerlach, Maywood FFA Reporter
“I placed this class of market lambs 4-2-3-1.” On November 8th, the Maywood FFA Chapter sent 16 members to participate in livestock judging and the agriscience contest. For livestock judging, eight members ribboned in the contest. In Agriscience, two members ribboned. The next date that members will travel to Curtis is December 13th for District Leadership Development Event’s. Until then, members participating in LDE’s will prepare for their con-test. Last month, members got together to give back to some of the most hardworking people in this country. They fed around a total of 100 farmers and their crews in the area. This is the chapter’s biggest community service event and one of the most important.
SCHOLARSHIP BLOODMOBILE
The bloodmobile will be held at the Maywood Community Hall on December 7 from 12 to 6 p.m. All donors are wel-
come. You can make an appointment online or call the school at 362-4223. Walk-ins are always welcome. The
more blood donations we receive, the more scholarship money we earn for graduating seniors.
Elementary Student Council Happenings
The Elementary Student Council had great success on the coat and mitten drive during October! The goal was to collect 100 items and they achieved beyond that by collecting over 135 items. We will still have The Walking Club every Friday from around 11:25-11:45 and have enjoyed parents, firemen, veterans, and other visitors as well! We will continue to walk unless the wind chill and temperatures change our plans! It's Nebraska weather!! Thank you to parents, families, and the community for supporting the Elementary Student Council.
