C.L.A.S.S. Act (Community Leading And Supporting Students) distributed $60,000 to Kearney Public Schools in September. Every year the steering committee delivers oversized checks to each school and shares with the students what C.L.A.S.S. Act does. The annual fundraiser took place in April and raised $116,000.

Central students will enjoy a wonderful Merryman student season this year with a wide array of content from Frankie Valli to Alladin. * We begin with The Unexpected Boys and their tribute to Franklie Valli and the Four Seasons. The kids will experience music from our past as these Jersey guys sing hits like SHERRY, WALK LIKE A MAN, LET’S HANG ON, and BIG GIRLS DON’T CRY. * Also this fall, the Lied Center will provide another educational outreach program. The Turtle Island String Quartet, has been a singular force in the creation of bold, new trends in chamber music for strings. Turtle Island teaches and entertains through forays into folk, bluegrass, swing, be-bop, funk, R&B, new age, rock, hip-hop, as well as music of Latin America and India. * As always, we are so lucky that Kearney High School hosts its annual play festival at the Merryman followed shortly by the State One-Act Competition. Our students get to enjoy quality high school theatre performances. * Our focus on Theatre continues through the spring as we bring in Kearney’s own Academy of Children’s Theatre and the Horizon Middle School performers to perform their spring musicals. Elementary students will enjoy the opportunity to see their peers act and sing and learn how they can become a part of the acting community.
We hope you can join your child for many of these performances. Specific times will be announced as the dates approach.
"The Incranible, on the surface, is a fun spoof on The Incredibles. As our superhero flies over Kearney, we get a birds-eye view of the community and some of the more notable sights like the Great Platte River Road Archway Monument. As we dig a little deeper, it is obvious that the ordinary Sandhill Crane accomplishes an extraordinary feet as it migrates THOUSANDS of miles every year. My hope is that the viewers can find their own superhero within themselves as they serve their families and their communities in everyday life."
What a great message for our students. Thank-you to the Central Elementary PAC and the Pratt-Heins Foundation for their support of the purchase of this beautiful addition to Central Elementary.
