Congratulations to Mrs. Lyndsey Douglas who was recognized as May Staff Person of the Month at North Platte Public Schools. Mrs. Douglas has been with the NPPS District since 2008. She started teaching 2nd grade at Jefferson Elementary and then 4th grade at McDonald Elementary School. In 2018 she was named principal at Eisenhower. She has also been a HAL Leader and Middle School Volleyball Coach. She earned her Masters of Education Degree in Curriculum and Instruction in 2013 and will transition to her new district position of Director of Elementary Teaching and Learning in June 2021.
Mrs. Douglas has boosted the morale of Eisenhower so much in the last three years. It wasn’t terrible before but she listens to all staff members and handles things with grace. She notices great things teachers are doing and lets them know how proud she is of them even when they think they are on a sinking ship. In November she draws a staff member’s name and we write them little notes on why we are thankful for them—this carries on into December because she includes kitchen and custodial staff as well. Then she gets us through December with the 12 days of Christmas which every day she does special things for the staff. I have enjoyed all of the principals I have worked with the past 16 years, but I feel Mrs. Douglas is very deserving of this Staff Member of the month. She has a vision and very much a forward thinker. The interests of her students are her first priority. Mrs. Douglas handles staff, students and parents with finesse.--Kay Wright, Eisenhower Administrative Professional
This month Doodads and Fandangles sponsored the basket filled with special treats for Mrs. Douglas. Prairie Friends and Flowers sponsored the floral arrangement. The North Platte Public Schools Foundation awards NPPS Staff members monthly, thanks to our generous donors.
The North Platte Public Schools and NPPS Foundation developed this award to recognize the good things staff are doing throughout the District. The nomination from their peers symbolizes the esteem and appreciation that everyone has for our school district employees. To learn more about the NPPS Foundation please visit nppsf.org.

We are so excited to invite ALL North Platte students and staff to our summer picture days – every grade, every building, every person! Choose from three dates and hundreds of time options to schedule your family's school picture session at the North Platte High School commons area. A week or two after your pictures are taken, you'll get an email with instructions to view your images and order online – that means no paper order forms to remember, and no paying for pictures before you see them. Getting school pictures taken this summer will not only save you time, but allows parents to be part of the fun (and ensures guardian-approved smiles!). Plus, secondary students who see us this summer will have an updated photo on their school IDs.
When: Tues July 27, 11am - 6pm / Wed July 28, 8am - 6pm / Sun Aug 1, 12 - 5pm
Where: North Platte High School commons area
Who: ALL North Platte students and staff
How to schedule: visit go.nebraskaportraits.com/np21 and reserve ONE time for your entire family (even if you're in multiple grades or buildings)
Questions? Call or text (308) 530-0579 or email us at info@nebraskaportraits.com
See you this summer!

Here are some more pictures from today’s planting experience at the Buffalo Early Learning center. The students really enjoyed the experience. We can’t wait to see our herbs and flowers grow!
Little gardeners in the making....the FFA students from the high school have spent a couple of weekends building raised flower beds for the outdoor classroom at the Buffalo Early Learning Center. Today some of the FFA students from NPHS along with David Lott from the UNL extension got to give the preschoolers a lesson in gardening! The preschoolers loved the experience!
