Members from the Niobrara County SkillsUSA Chapter have been hard at work on their club projects. Recently 7th Grade members from the American Spirit team presented local American Legion and VFW members with laser engraved barnwood plaques of the Declaration of Independence. These projects were made at NCHS by the students. SkillsUSA members have been recognizing our local veterans and honoring the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration through this project! Great job students!

This morning, we were made aware that several school districts across Wyoming received threats targeting schools. These incidents appear to be consistent with what law enforcement commonly refers to as “swatting,” or false reports intended to prompt an emergency response.
Law enforcement agencies are aware of the situation statewide, and the threats received by other districts have been determined not to be credible. At this time, Niobrara County School District has not received any threats, and there is no information indicating a risk to the safety of our students or staff.
We are working closely with our law enforcement partners and will continue to monitor the situation. The safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority.
If additional information becomes available that impacts our schools, we will communicate updates to families and staff as quickly as possible.
Sincerely,
Katherine Kruse & Penny Bolinger
Niobrara County Middle & High School Principal
Lusk Elementary School & Lance Creek Rural School Principal
