With all of the changes we are experiencing with canceled events and changes in our communities, YNT has decided to publish a Super Senior magazine featuring the graduates of all area high schools that we cover, including Nebraska Lutheran. Included schools are: Hampton, Heartland, Osceola, McCool, Nebraska Lutheran, High Plains, Centennial, Cross County, Exeter-Milligan, Fillmore Central and York. The magazine will be a full color, glossy magazine (7.75” x 9.75”) which we hope will be a keepsake for students, families, community members and more. The senior class members from each school will also receive a complimentary copy. Advertising sponsorship space is also available in the magazine. I have attached a sales flyer with the ad sizes and prices. Our deadline to reserve ad space is April 22nd. Please let me know if you have any questions.

NSAA RELEASE: "All remaining NSAA activity practices and competitions, including district and state competitions, have been cancelled for this school year. These cancelations are part of a new Directed Health Measure issued by Governor Ricketts".

BOX TOPS! Hello all. During this crazy time, one thing has continued, we still buy groceries! Collection of Box Tops has changed quite a bit over the last year or so. The majority of them are now counted electronically with an app. You load the app on your phone at BTFE.com and take a picture of your receipt within 14 days. The app explains the process quite well. You can select Centennial School as your school and the .10 per box top will go into our box top account at Centennial! It’s that simple. I have tried this out over the last couple weeks and it works fairly well. There were a few glitches, but I was able to work through them. Long receipts prove to be quite tricky. If there are grandmas of others out there that want to contribute to more than one school, you are able to donate to more than one school. If you come across a few of the old style clip Box Tops, you can still send those to the school. We would appreciate your help in continuing the collection of Box Tops electronically! Thank you!

Reminder to get your trick shots sent to our Sports Marketing class! We’ve gotten a few already and are in need of more! Get outside today and work on that trick shot! #broncoblue

What do you do when your exchange students find out they have to go home early due to a pandemic? Put them in a cap & gown, have band teacher play, wipe away tears & get them on stage to receive their certificate of attendance! #broncoblue
