Great job to these students for pulling their weight and diving deep into the science behind motion!
¡Qué rico! 😋
NBC Students in Ms. Raya's Spanish class dive into grammar, cultural traditions, speaking skills, history — and of course… food!
Last semester, students learned about the origins of churros and enjoyed delicious homemade churros from SunShine Snacks in Schuyler. 😋
This week, they explored the African influence in Hispanic cultures and sampled Agua de Horchata, a traditional Mexican–Central American drink made with rice, cinnamon, and sugar. The horchata was generously donated by our friends at Burrito House in Schuyler, and students had a great time trying something new while deepening their cultural understanding. A big thank you to Jose and Luis Salinas for the generous donation — we truly enjoyed the horchata!

SkillsUSA's THINK BIG Thursday was a huge success today at NBC! 💡✨
During TAP and lunch, 8-12th grade students had the opportunity to explore 42 expo booths featuring local professionals from business and industry, colleges and universities, and military representatives — all ready to help students learn, connect, and plan for their futures.
From scholarships and internships to part-time jobs, career skills, and certifications, students discovered real opportunities to start building their future NOW.
Students asked great questions, connected with professionals, picked up prizes, and even entered a drawing for FREE SkillsUSA dues for next year!
Thank you to all of our incredible community partners who helped make today possible — and to our students for showing up ready to THINK BIG about their futures! 🚀
Good luck, Tigers!
Our little learners became “secret admirers” for their classmates, pouring their hearts into creating special Valentines. Each child carefully wrote names, decorated with excitement, and delivered their cards with big smiles and even bigger anticipation!
The classroom was filled with surprises, giggles, and joy as students practiced kindness and celebrated one another. Moments like these remind us that even the smallest acts of thoughtfulness can make a BIG impact. ❤️
We are so proud of the love and care they shared! 💌✨
While most students admitted they prefer texting, they stepped out of their comfort zones to practice verbal communication and active listening. In this fun (and challenging!) activity, partners sat back-to-back. One student described how they were coloring a butterfly, while the other carefully listened and tried to recreate it based only on the verbal directions.
Each pair also had an observer who could only use nonverbal communication—facial expressions and gestures—to react to what was happening. 👀🤐
By the end, students agreed it was much easier to be the “talker” and discovered just how important strong listening skills really are. Great job, 6th grade!
The NBC Foundation provides funding to help make this event possible by bringing in former MathCounts coach Terri Jelinek to help run the day, awards and lunch for our students.

We’re celebrating all week long with fun activities — including Tools of the Trade Tuesday!
During lunch, students had the chance to explore the tools and skills used in many of the competitions our students participate in. From trying out drone and robotics technology to photography, cake and cookie decorating, mousetrap contraptions, and even healthcare skills like using a stethoscope and monitoring blood pressure — students got a hands-on look at just a few of the more than 130 contests SkillsUSA offers!
It was exciting to see so many students jump in, try something new, and have a great time exploring future career skills. 🚁📸🩺🍪
What a great way to celebrate SkillsUSA Week! 👏
