7th grade MRE Challenge

We welcomed our Army Recruiter Stephanie Vaitohi into the building today to allow the 7th grade students to learn a little more about the military and to participate in an MRE (Meal Ready-to-Eat) Challenge. This was a fun hands-on activity that allowed the students to experience something new. Once they plated their meals, they were encouraged to present to the group, about what they had to work with.

McCook Central High School is excited to kick off our first-ever eSports season! This new opportunity gives students a chance to showcase their gaming skills, develop teamwork, build friendships, and compete in a whole new way while representing the Cougars! eSports is about more than just gaming! It encourages strategic thinking, communication, problem-solving, and good sportsmanship while providing students with another opportunity to get involved in school activities.
We are excited to see this program grow and can't wait to see what our students accomplish during this first season!

Congratulations, Cougars!
Your teacher noticed you showing the Cougar Way last week! You have been making great choices, being kind and respectful, working hard, helping others, and showing what it means to be a positive member of our school family.
Your teacher is so proud of you—and we want your family to know about it, too! That’s why a Good News Postcard was sent to your home in the mail!
Keep up the great work and keep showing everyone what it means to BE A COUGAR PROUD!
