6 students represented Mullen today at the Battle of the Books in Sutherland! These students qualified by reading four Honeybee or Meadowlark Golden Sower nominees for the 2025-2026 school year. They visited with author Rebecca Stead, partipated in stations (STEM ozobots and straw launchers, reverse charades, and a photo scavenger hunt), and ulimately competed for the title of "Battle of the Books" champion! While we did not come out as champions, our small but mighty crew did great and we are so proud of these students for particpating in this event for the first time!

Family STEM Night will be held on Thursday, March 26, from 630-8 pm. Unlike previous years, it will begin promptly at 630 with a whole group presentation you will not want to miss! We can't wait to see you to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Remember, students must be accompanied by an adult.
On Wednesday, they participated in the second session of Sandhills Leadership! They completed the Clifton Strengths Assessment before attending and were able to use these to explore their leadership and skills for ideas to help our community. It was a great morning of collaboration and learning!
