What is Project Wisdom? Project Wisdom is a character education program where daily messages are broadcast every morning with an overall monthly theme.

Some quotes for this week:

• Since wars begin in the minds of people, it is in the minds of people that . . . peace must be constructed.
• There are three kinds of people in the world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who say, "What happened?"
• I will ACT as if what I DO makes a difference.

The Nebraska School Activities Association (NSAA) and Currency are proud to sponsor

Believers & Achievers, a state-wide awards program that recognizes Nebraska’s future

leaders. Believers & Achievers was designed to reward high school students in Nebraska

for their excellence in academics and participation in NSAA activities. Those students who

show a commitment to citizenship, school involvement and community projects will be

honored in the Believers & Achievers program.

NSAA member schools have been asked to nominate individuals to be honored. From those

nominees submitted, Currency and the NSAA will select and honor 48 high school seniors

throughout the 2025-26 academic year. A poster will be produced and sent to each

member high school for display. The 48 individuals selected will be honored with an

award at an NSAA Championship. All 48 Believers & Achievers will be invited to attend an

end-of-the-year banquet, celebrating their achievements. During the banquet, Currency

will announce individual scholarship winners.

• Who is eligible? Seniors to be, who have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.50 (on an unweighted 4.0 scale) and participate in NSAA sponsored activities are eligible for nomination.
• How many students can be nominated per school? Each school may nominate a maximum of FOUR students.
