A glimpse at what’s happening in our local schools.

PAPILLION-LA VISTA COMMUNITY SCHOOLS A large selection of art by Papillion-La Vista High School students is on display at Papillion’s Sump Memorial Library. The art show, available during regular library hours, features 50 art pieces. PLHS teachers selected the show’s art from student submissions, including 2D and 3D pieces from a variety of class levels. The show will be open through the end of March, and is being held in conjunction with the Papillion Arts Council.

BROWNELL TALBOT Ursula’s eels, Audrey Klinefelter and Clare Miller-Petznick, hold King Triton, AJ Puskar, as Ursula, Emma Gould, threatens Ariel, Maia Su, in Brownell Talbot’s production of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid.”

PAPILLION-LA VISTA COMMUNITY SCHOOLS First-grader Olivia King pushes Beckett Solberg in the skeleton competition during the Rumsey Station Elementary Winter Olympics. Students compete in a variety of sporting activities against other classrooms or nations in their grade. Each classroom learns about four or five nations as a social studies activity for the Olympics, and can medal in knowledge of their nations.

BROWNELL TALBOT Eighth graders, from left, TG Su, Corinne Van Winkle, Jon Primmer, William Khoury and Nya Ping learn more about Dinraal the bearded dragon during Jay Sauer’s science class at Brownell Talbot.

HOLY NAME SCHOOL Alexia Vazquez Medina enjoys some sweet treats while celebrating 100 days of school at Holy Name Grade School. From the very first day of school in August, classrooms start recording and counting the number of days they have been in school. It serves as a milestone that represents the progress they have made. The 100th day is full of fun activities that all involve counting to 100. They even get to dress up as 100-yearolds.

JOE MIXAN Junior Eileen Jacinto Lopez, center, celebrated her quinceanera at Marian High School when her family and classmates surprised her in December. Her quinceanera, a-coming-of-age tradition typically celebrated when a young woman turns 15, had been canceled twice due to COVID-19.
