Miss Brittani Butterfield, UNK Student, was nominated for recognition from UNK for their student employees.  Brittani serves as an America Reads Tutor at Park Elementary.  She was nominated for the Rookie of the Year award by Mrs. Peters, Mrs. Wiltgen, Mrs. Sweeney and Miss Grant for the outstanding support she provides many of Park's students.  She was presented her certificate on Wednesday, April 11 at Park Elementary School.

Fifth grade student, Alex, received a visit from Good Samaritan Hospital's Sam the Moose to accept her surprise!  Her artwork was selected to be placed on a billboard on East Highway 30 to highlight the importance of safe practices with poisons. 

Mr. Shane was selected as the KPS Buildings and Grounds Employee of the Quarter.  He was nominated by many of the staff members at Park because he is so dedicated to his work and takes such pride in keeping our building beautiful and safe.  Congratulations Mr. Shane!

When Mrs. Wiltgen's class and Mr. Jasnoch unexpectedly walked into Mrs. J's room today, she was confused...but when NTV's Kent Boughton and Mark Onwiler came in after them, she was suspicious!  One of her second graders nominated her for November Teacher on the Month.  Mrs. Jasnoch told Mr. Boughton, "I am just overwhelmed!"

Park Elementary School sits in the beautiful Harmon Park in the center of the city of Kearney.  Park is an academically focused, yet fun and supportive learning environment for children.  We have programs serving children in grades kindergarten through fifth grade.  We enjoy a wonderful partnership with Kearney Parks and Recreation in which we assist their staff in the spring with clean-up and planting in Harmon Park and their staff does many things for our learners.  Our playground is one of many examples of the partnership we enjoy with the city of Kearney.
