THE KNIGHTLY NEWS

Dear Families,

The next few days are going to be filled with fun as we discover new worlds and work together to raise $15,000 for PTO funds at Neihardt Elementary School! Every student will participate in the fun through a character-building program, event day, and school incentives. Here are a few things you can do to help us reach our big goals!

👍 Register your student at MyBooster.com to join the fun. Search for “Neihardt Elementary School.”

💵 Donate and ✉️ share. We are encouraging every family to share their donation page with 10 people.

🎁 Throughout the week, classes will earn fun rewards based on how much we raise on their classroom tracker. When a class earns a reward, this adds some extra awesomeness to our day.

🎉 09/17/2025: Event Day. This is our epic celebration day for Neihardt Fun Run!

Thank you in advance for helping us reach our goals!

Enjoy the cooler weather this weekend,

Dr. Tara Cooper

Hello from the Health Room!

In accordance with Nebraska State Statute, #173 NAC 7, Millard Public Schools are required to provide a health screening that includes a dental, vision, and hearing screening as well as weight and height. The health room will be doing a full screening on students in Pre-K through 4th grade. Kindergartners will only be screened for the items missing on their Kindergarten Physicals. You do have the option to opt your child(ren) out of the screening process. However, there is a form that needs to be filled out and signed by a physician before September 19th, 2025. Contact the Neihardt health office at (402) 715-8361, or email Neihardt's school nurse, Julie Varner at javarner@mpsomaha.org.
