Spelling Bee – In February, 5th and 6th grade students compete in the Merrick County Spelling Bee. Our students consistently qualify for the final oral rounds, and we have had several students who have placed 1st or 2nd in recent competitions.
Music – The music program has always been very important at NC. Elementary students present a musical drama in the spring and also take part in Nebraska Christian’s Festival of Lessons and Carols. Traditionally students go Christmas caroling at local nursing homes in December.
Field trips – Elementary students take a minimum of two educational field trips throughout the year. All grade levels participate in the Stuhr Museum H.A.T.S. (heritage activities for today’s students) program in Grand Island.
