One of the most significant new additions to the Daily News’ Web site is something that I think will benefit both online users and readers of the Daily News’ print edition. I hope it especially will be of value to all those who have an interest in the Norfolk Public Schools — students, parents, grandparents and many others.
It’s called the Panther Project and it was an idea I first broached to Marlene Uhing, superintendent of schools during the 2008-2009 school year.
Don’t quote me, but here’s basically what I remember suggesting to her: “The Norfolk Public Schools has so many positive things going on throughout the district. And each of the schools has its own Web site, which does a good job. But if you’d be interested in working with the Daily News, we could help share information about the public schools and its students and faculty to many, many more people.”

Northern Hills had some special visitors from the Elks Club recently. The “Kids On The Block” are life size puppets that talked to us about the bad effects bullying can have on our lives, in and out of school. It is always important to treat everyone with respect. Thank you Elks Club!!

The Life Lesson Puppets
Westside Elementary students attended the “Kids on the Block” assembly sponsored by the Nebraska Elks Association. The puppet skits taught students about the effects of bullying and what they can do to stop it. It also helps kids see that there are differences in all of us and those differences are something to appreciate.
