STRONGER 💪 TOGETHER-Spartan School Spirit! What an exciting day! Today we recognize the 2021 Spartan Junior High Football Team. For the first time in Spartan History your Spartans went undefeated and were the Junior High SCBL Champions. Through fundraising and the generous support and financial donations of outside individuals we were able to recognize and award each one of our JHFB players for their outstanding undefeated season by presenting them a SPARTAN BLACK AND GOLD LETTER-JACKET. The idea behind this is to try and build more of a bond and sense of a true team between these kids who attend different schools, with the hopes that they will all remain active and keep participating in Football throughout High School. We hope they realize that big things are possible if they stay together as SPARTANS! We said all season we were stronger together! A huge thank you to those who donated towards this cause, it would not have been possible without you. I understand you agreed to donate anonymously, so we will respect that. We would so love to share your names and your generous donation here but we won’t. Just know how much we deeply appreciate you helping us out with this. We feel it is a very important step in trying to build a program where everyone continues to stay active and participate as part of our extra curricular teams. We currently lose to many players between the JH and HS years. We still are short of paying the entire bill so if anyone would like to donate towards the remaining balance please contact Donna at Dexter High School. If the players or parents would like to add patches or any other sew on items to the letter jacket (like name, undefeated patches, etc…) they may do so at their expense. Please order these patches through: Chris Curtis chris.curtis@jostens.com 620-704-0775 Thank You! “It’s a Great Day 2B a Spartan”

2nd Grade finished up some projects to end the year! They created their own book of habitats and shared them with their class. They also built a little log cabin with popsicle sticks and summarized 'The Little House on the Prairie'

Tremendous effort from the hard working and vastly improving Lady Spartans last night as they drop a back and forth game on the road to the Central Burden Raiders. This Friday the Spartans will host Oswego in Dexter. Come out Friday and support these hard working ladies and their coaches.

December 13, 202l Cedar Vale Board of Education honored Mr. Tom Everett for twelve years of dedicated service to Cedar Vale Schools’ Board of Education. Mr. Everett was recognized by his peers and the administration for his dedication and service to our school and community. Superintendent Mr. Rhodd stated: “ On behalf of the stakeholders of USD 285, Cedar Vale Schools, I would like to extend our appreciation to you for your twelve years of service. You can take great pride in knowing that during these twelve years you made a difference. The district navigated many changes during this time: upgrading our technology capabilities, upgrading our facilities, upgrading our transportation department, managing challenges of budget cuts, and addressing the challenges of COVID. Leadership is about having the ability to listen to all sides of a topic and making an informed decision for the betterment of our district. We did not always land on the same side on issues but felt like we had honest discussion and at the end of the day worked together for our district. In unprecedented times, our district was able to give retention bonuses/raises for our staff. Our district was prepared to handle the challenges of budgeting and COVID by being forward thinking. Your leadership played a big part in positioning us to move forward with confidence. Mr. Tom Everett our district is stronger today than it was twelve years ago. Thank you for your leadership and look forward to seeing the role you play in our community supporting our students and school.” Best Wishes, Superintendent Lance Rhodd. The Board of Education presented Mr. Tom Everett with a plaque recognizing his twelve years of service. When asked what he felt his biggest accomplishment Mr. Everett stated “I guess my biggest accomplishment would be through declining enrollment and state budget cuts, we always made continued improvements to the school and we never had to cut any jobs, all the while still providing a quality education for our students” Tom is a 1998 graduate of Cedar Vale Schools and resides in Cedar Vale with his wife,Tristan and their three daughters who all attend Cedar Vale Schools. Thank you Mr. Tom Everett!
