Even with a short week, the energy at Dudley was off the charts this week! We proved that you don’t need five days to make a massive impact.

Positive Office Calls: We loved sharing all those "proud moments" with families! Keeping that connection strong is what we’re all about.

Birthday Books: A huge shoutout to our birthday stars who grabbed a fresh read from the Teammates Vending Machine!

7 Swede Way Assemblies: Our students continue to show us what it means to lead with THE SWEDE SHIELD and had fun in a massive game of Spot It!

NSCAS Kickoff: Our 5th Graders crushed the start of testing season with their Science assessment. Way to show that you care and gave your BEST ON THE TEST!

It may have been a quick week, but it was absolutely packed with spirit.

We are bursting with pride to announce that our Dudley students have officially earned a staggering 27,610 Swede Way Tickets so far this school year!

Every single one of these tickets represents a student being caught in the act of being responsible, respectful, safe, or kind. From the classrooms to the cafeteria, our students are showing us every day what it truly means to live "The Swede Way."

Joining the 1,000+ Club
A special round of applause goes to the classrooms that have gone above and beyond, each earning over 1,000 tickets! Congratulations to the students in:

Mrs. Koehn’s, Mrs. Miller’s, Mrs. Neels’, Mrs. Schwanz’s, Miss Zach’s, Miss Kennicutt’s, Mrs. Mroczek’s, Mrs. Foster’s, Mrs. David’s, Mrs. Rahjes’ & Mrs. Anderjaska’s.

🔥 The Quarter 4 Challenge
Our school record for a single quarter stands at 10,124 tickets (set back in Quarter 1). We are throwing down the gauntlet to our amazing students and staff: Can we make this final quarter our highest one yet?

Let’s keep that momentum going, Dudley! Keep being leaders, keep being kind, and let's finish this year stronger than ever.

Congratulations to all our hardworking Swedes!

Check out this incredible transformation! Over Spring Break, our Dudley gym went from "classic" to stunning thanks to the hard work of the team at Five Star Flooring. Swipe to see the "Before" vs. the "After"!

We are so appreciative of this upgrade and can’t wait to see our students back in action. Monday, March 23rd, marks the official first day of play on the new floor!

Get ready for endless hours of fun and games in Mr. Mahlberg’s PE class. Let’s go, Dudley Elementary! #NewDudleyGym2026

Today is National Farm Rescuer Day and we are feeling especially grateful for the incredible people who take care of our community when it matters most.

In light of the recent fires across Nebraska, we’ve been reminded just how lucky we are to have such an incredible community of first responders. Whether it’s a playground mishap, a field fire, or an emergency call at any hour, they are always ready to jump in and help without hesitation.

Their selflessness, courage, and commitment do not go unnoticed. They truly embody the spirit of service that makes our community so strong.

We are beyond fortunate to have them. Thank you for all you do today and every day! 🚒❤️

Find Your People – GPS Edition! - PART 2

The SAGA of support continues!!!
The past two weeks at Gothenburg Public Schools have been packed with fun, laughter, and a whole lot of Swede pride! From staff and students twinning in their favorite Swede gear, to celebrating the joy of reading during Read Across America Week, to the creativity and laughs brought by our Teacher Underground Dress-Up Days—the hallways have been full of energy and connection.

One of the best parts of working and learning at GPS is seeing the way our students and staff show up for each other. Whether it’s coordinating outfits with a teammate, sharing a favorite book with a class, or joining in on a themed dress-up day just to bring a few extra smiles to the building, these small moments remind us what makes our school community so special.

The amount of LOVE, pride, and enthusiasm our students and staff show for Swede activities, reading, and supporting one another is truly incredible. It’s these everyday moments—laughter in the hallways, matching outfits, and celebrating learning together—that make our school feel like home.

We are so lucky to be part of a community that believes in lifting each other up, having fun together, and showing what it means to be a Swede.

There truly is no better place to be than Gothenburg!
