Happy St. Patricks Day

It's time to wear GREEN, and pretend to be Irish if you can't claim Irish Heritage.

Come and celebrate St. Patricks Day at Bulldogs

BullDogs will be serving their fabulous Corned Beef and Cabbage

Starting Friday 11:00 am

If you had this last year, you know how good it is!

Will be serving Corned Beef, Cabbage, Carrots, Potatoes and rye bread. We will also have Bud Light aluminum bottles! We hope to see you.

On a side note, we will NOT be doing all you can eat fish this Friday.

Wear your green, enjoy old friends and new and maybe a bit of the Luck of the Irish will rub off.

Maybe you'll see a Leprechaun?

Congratulations to the High School Boys Basketball Team

Congratulations to the boys basketball team on a fantastic season! If you drove to Lincoln you could feel the excitement in the air. If you watched the games live streaming then you were entertained not only by the sports but the fantastic broadcasting on the Striv network.

Elmwood-Murdock Schools had a chance to shine in the media this week. Take a look at just some of the places they were listed on television, newspapers, and on-line broadcasting.

Mr. Novak will be retiring from the Elmwood-Murdock School District at the end of the 2016-17 school year.

We are asking for help with this project. We would like for students, parents, friends or patrons of the district to submit photos, videos, notes, etc. to put into the video/photo book. You can make an i-phone video of a personal message, write a special note or submit pictures of memorable moments.

Any contribution is welcome. Please submit to the following email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

We would like this information by March 20.

Several barns around Murdock will be featured.

ETV Television to Highlight Elmwood-Murdock Quilt Project

Last summer, a producer from NETV videotaped interviews with Maechelle (Mickie) Clements and Kurk Shrader regarding the Cass County barn quilt project.

In March, NETV is going to air a one-hour program called "Patchwork on the Plains". This is a look at the history, family traditions, patriotism and community pride that goes into painted plywood barn quilts.

Mickie had a vision to start the barn quilt project in Nebraska and wanted Cass County to be the first Nebr. county to display them.

It was made possible through the joint efforts of the Elmwood-Murdock FBLA and art students, students and Kurk Shrader.

Veterinary Camp for Kids

OxbowVetCamp

Junior Vet Camp

For students completing 2nd - 5th grades

The Oxbow Junior Veterinarian Camp is designed especially for children who have a passion for animals and veterinary medicine.

The 4-day camp includes many hands-on activities involving live animals, games and unique crafts.

Campers learn about veterinary tools, x-rays, body systems and functions, and important issues like animal over-population. In addition, they also get to practice activities like real veterinarians perform, including record-keeping and animal health exams.

At the end of camp, they perform a mock surgery, using all that they’ve learned. Campers get their very own set of scrubs and a stethoscope to take home.

Elmwood-Murdock Elementary School (Elmwood, NE) June 5 - 8

I have a special attachment for this camp as I worked at Oxbow Animal Health for many years and this was a project I helped start. Any child who loves animals would love this camp.

For more information and registration visit the Oxbow Academy website.
