Thank you to the Seward Community Foundation and the Seward Nordic Ski Club for funding youth ski equipment for Mrs. Pfeiffenberger’s and Mrs. Sanchez’s classes. Volunteers will help the 1st- and 2nd-graders learn to ski this February. The photos show the children practicing in the hallway after being fitted for ski gear.

Last night’s 3–5 Parent Collaborative was another big win. 💛 Thank you to everyone who came out, jumped into the conversation, and shared a meal together. The room was full of thoughtful ideas, real talk, and that good kind of “we’re in this together” energy, and the dinner made it feel extra welcoming and easy. Thanks for showing up for your kids and for each other. 📸✨ – Youth 360 – Seward

Huge thanks to all the moms, grandmas, aunties, and caring role models who came out this morning for Mornings with Mom at Seward Middle School 💛☕️ It’s such a simple thing, but it matters: showing up in the school, sharing a few minutes together, and helping our kids feel surrounded by familiar, supportive adults. Every hello in the hallway builds a little more connection and confidence. If you’ve been thinking, “I should come sometime,” consider this your nudge. *We had 19 women join us this morning, excuse the poor photo! – Youth 360 – Seward
