Prairie State representatives Nicole Vacca and Jenna Spotloe presented a check for $654 to the district's "Teacher Wishlist" fund. The money was raised through various activities put on by the bank during Edgar Lee Masters Weekend. T hank you Prairie State Bank and Trust for your support of Lewistown Schools!

Introducing the Lewistown Central/Elementary PBIS Kawaii Cart! The Kawaii cart will be available to purchase items from tomorrow and friday! The Cart will also be availble every month during Brave Buck day. I will also have the cart out during Parent Teacher Conferences. All proceeds go to our students so they can have fun incentives throughout the school year if they display good behavior! Most items range from $1- $6, purses are $6-$12 and the Large backpacks are $20-$25. My goal is to raise $3000 so that we can give Central and Elementary $1500 each. Cash only please. Any questions please ask Nurse Angie!

This is a reminder that Lewistown Schools will dismiss early on Friday, September 25th for school improvement planning and staff training. All high school students and early bus riders will dismiss at 11:15am, Central/Elementary walking and pick-up students will be dismissed at 11:20am, and the Central/Elementary buses will dismiss at 11:30am.

Mr. Jones' class delivered coffee and snacks to the staff of the Central & Elementary building this morning! What a great kickstart to the week following homecoming! The "One Tribe" beverage cart is in full swing and we are so excited to have different drinks each month!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank MidAmerica National Bank for their generous contribution to our high school welding program. Your support has helped build and grow our college dual-credit welding program for all current and future students. We are thankful to have such a wonderful partner alongside us as we continue to educate and train the next generation of skilled trade workers. Thank you on behalf of Cuba High School, CUSD3, and Mr. Flynn’s Cuba-Lewistown welding class.
