Nokomis CUSD #22

Some of Mrs. Endsley's Creative Expression students helped make pillowcases for St. John's Hospital out of fun material and used French seams.

North Elementary School students were greeted this morning by a special guest! #NOKOPROUD

After a week of reading many versions of the Gingerbread Man, Miss Amy’s class went on a scavenger hunt to find a runaway gingerbread man. They also enjoyed trying two versions of a gingerbread cookie and built their very own gingerbread houses. Such a great ending to a fun week! #NOKOPROUD

On December 13th, Nokomis FFA members faced the cold and the snow to place holiday wreaths on all veteran graves at Nokomis Cemetery. A big thanks goes out to the FFA members that helped and all of the sponsors and supporters that made this event possible. Due to being low on wreaths this year, we have a handful of graves that were not covered. We will be getting more wreaths and placing them on the remaining graves as soon as possible. Thank you again to everyone who supports this service project!

Great job to the FFA officers for hosting another monthly 8th grade FFA event. This month the 8th graders participated in an event geared towards Ag Sales by making their best ice cream and soda floats and presenting a brief pitch on why their float was the best! 🍨🔵🟡
