Participants traveled from across Nebraska and South Dakota to participate in this excellent opportunity for intense professional development. The institute provided experience in a full year of curriculum for Animal Health and Veterinary Science. This professional development opportunity was funded, in part, by the Nebraska FFA Foundation which Miss Aylward received a scholarship from to attend. The curriculum was written by CASE 4 Learning.

The curriculum is designed to spiral and scaffold course concepts, incorporate APP (Activity, Project, or Problem) modalities, and meet core standards to equip teachers and schools to help students become lifelong learners and prepare them for college or careers.

While at the BriefCASE Institute, Miss Aylward experienced every lesson in the curriculum and learned how to deliver lessons using inquiry-based learning, shifting focus from teacher-led to student-directed learning.&nbsp;

“The Animal Health and Veterinary Science BriefCASE Institute benefitted me by providing a strong curriculum, which fully engages her students in their learning.&nbsp; The CASE curriculum provides hands-on experiences for students which set them up for career ready practices,” states Miss Aylward.&nbsp;

Mentors play a crucial role in shaping the lives of young people by providing guidance, encouragement, and support. Research shows that mentors play a powerful role in providing young people with the tools to make positive choices, attend and engage in school, and reduce or avoid negative behaviors. In turn, these young people are:&nbsp;

Yet, the same research shows that one in three young people in our country will grow up without a mentor.&nbsp;

National Mentoring Month is the time of year where engagement from community members interested in becoming a mentor is highest. This year, with the support of the mentoring community, we are encouraging the public to go beyond just digital engagement and become involved in real life. Mentoring relationships are at their best when connections are made between a caring adult and a young person who knows that someone is there to help guide them through life choices.&nbsp;

Unique Impact of Community-Based Mentoring&nbsp;

One of the key advantages of community-based mentoring is the ability to explore different spaces and meet new people.&nbsp;&nbsp; Mentors and mentees can visit museums, cultural sites, conferences, and other engaging events to stimulate their conversations. These experiences help expand a mentee’s horizons, build their network, and show them the resources in the community. By engaging in fun and enriching activities, youth have the opportunity to experience new adventures, build confidence, and deepen their relationships with mentors. These moments of shared enjoyment foster trust and open the door to impactful conversations that help shape brighter futures.&nbsp;

MENTOR Nebraska is an affiliate of MENTOR National, the unifying champion of youth mentoring across the United States. Their mission is to increase both the quality and quantity of mentoring in Nebraska and close the mentoring gap for the one in three young people growing up without a mentor. As sponsors of our Coffee Chats, MENTOR Nebraska is dedicated to creating lasting, positive impacts through mentorship.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Two new members were sworn onto the Mid-Plains Community College Board of Governors Wednesday evening.

Molly Jeffres, of Ogallala, and&nbsp;Megan McGown, of Brady, both newly elected ran unopposed in the November General Election.

They join nine other members on the board including reelected members Matthew Broz, Kirk Crawley, Ted Klug, Jr. and Kent Miller who are continuing in their service. Among other things, they will be responsible for leading the college through policy creation and initiation and through articulation and evaluation of the college’s scope, mission, values and legislated priorities.

Jeffres replaces Jo Etta Brown, of Ogallala, in representing District 2.

Jeffres is the Community Development Coordinator for Keith County Area Development.

In her role at KCAD she works to enhance economic opportunities and strengthen community connections throughout Keith County fostering growth and collaboration.

Jeffres is an Ogallala native and graduated from the University of Nebraska at Omaha with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, specializing in management.

With a passion for creative placemaking and sustainable development, she works to shape projects that celebrate the region's cultural and historical assets.

Her community work includes leading the Keith County First Impressions committee and the Western Trails Creative District committee.&nbsp; Jeffres is also co-host of the regional Community Catalyst program.&nbsp;

As a new board member Jeffres said, “I am most looking forward to contributing to the success and growth of Mid-Plains Community College by supporting its mission to provide accessible, high-quality education and opportunities for students.”

McGown takes over the District 5 seat for Ernie Mehl.

McGown serves as the Chief Development Officer for Great Plains Health.

There she oversees strategic planning, the Health Care Foundation, marketing/public relations, outreach and initiatives to enhance access at consumer entrance points.

In her role, she also leads business development and service line growth efforts, driving the hospital's commitment to meeting the evolving healthcare needs of the region.

McGown, a Nebraska Sandhills native, spent 15 years in community and economic development. Her efforts focused on business recruitment, retention and downtown redevelopment, reflecting her dedication to fostering economic growth and vitality in the region.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from the University of Nebraska-Kearney and a graduate degree in organizational management with an emphasis in economic development from Peru State College.

McGown serves as the chair of the North Platte Area Chamber and Development Board of Directors and chairs the North Platte Community Recreation Foundation.

The North Platte Water Department would like to remind its customers that when the outside temperature is below zero, as it is forecasted to be, to leave their water running to prevent the water service and interior plumbing from freezing up.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp; Just a 1/8th inch stream of water running will prevent the main water service from freezing.&nbsp; This will save costly repair bills and the inconvenience of being without water.&nbsp; We have a device available at our office you can install in your toilet tank that will keep the water running constantly.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Please check your foundation vents to ensure they are closed.&nbsp; Check for cracks or openings that would allow the wind to blow under or into your crawlspace.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Please contact our office if you have any questions.&nbsp;&nbsp;308-535-6740&nbsp;&nbsp;
