Banner County FFA is working to support those impacted by the Morrill County fire by collecting hay donations for local families and producers in need. In times like these, even the smallest contribution can make a big difference in helping care for livestock and rebuild. We encourage anyone who is able to donate hay to join us in supporting our community.🌾💙

🚧💨Due to concerns with the projected extremely high wind event, there will be no school on Thursday, March 12th. Forecasts are calling for wind gusts in the 70+ mph range, and these conditions would make it unsafe for school buses to be on the road. Parent/Teacher Conferences will still be held as scheduled. However, if you are able to move your conference time to an earlier time in the day, please contact your child’s teacher or the school office to make those arrangements. Staff will report at 8 AM. Thank you for your understanding as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff.
