Winning big for Dudley! These two lucky students won $20 in Scholastic books because their mom attended our Title I Parent Meeting during our 2nd semester P/T Conferences. Thanks for the input, and happy reading to our winners!
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!

✨ Special Edition of Find Your People!! ✨💗
This week we are introducing something truly legendary…
🎉 The Charlie Clan! 🎉
We have Charlie, Charlye, Charlee, Charly, Charli, and Charlie all walking the halls of GPS. I mean… is this a world record for the most female Charlies in one district?! It just might be!
We are so proud of our:
💛 9th grader
💛 7th grader
💛 Two 4th graders
💛 3rd grader
💛 Two Kindergarten cuties
One name. So much Swede pride. 💙💛
💌 Our Sweetheart Edition also made an appearance this week!
Charlotte, Aubry, and Harper (4th grade) arrived in style at their Valentine’s celebration with their adorable Boba drink Valentine boxes. Creativity + sugar = pure joy!
Miss Holt and Mrs. Miller were absolutely feeling the Valentine’s Day vibes. Their classrooms are filled with kindness, laughter, and the kind of love that makes school feel like home. Those students are lucky to be wrapped in that goodness every day. ❤️
Brant and Samantha were bringing the positive energy as they soaked in these last few days before PT conferences. Focused, smiling, and showing up — we love to see it!
Another week of bringing out the wild side of our staff! Miss Holt and Grayli are both bringing the animal games to the halls of Dudley.
And Aubrey and Blakely are manifesting warmer days ahead with their inspirational green outfits. If positive vibes could change Nebraska weather, we’d be at 65° and sunny already! ☀️🌿

Our February Board Meeting featured a special Celebration of Excellence as six of our brightest mathematical minds shared the stage!
This year marks the exciting debut of the Math Olympiad program at Dudley Elementary. Under the coaching of Miss Klumpe, 27 students—who qualified based on their NWEA MAP proficiency—have been diving deep into the world of competitive problem-solving.
Students didn't just talk about math; they put our Board members and administrators to work by presenting a high-level Olympiad problem!
After giving the adults "ample" time to struggle (just a bit!), one of our students led a brilliant "math talk," walking the room through his strategic thinking and solution.
These students meet weekly to tackle rigorous problems that go far beyond the standard curriculum.
Math Olympiad isn't just about getting the right answer; it’s about the opportunity for students who excel in math to collaborate, embrace the struggle, and learn from one another's unique perspectives.
We are so proud of these students for representing the 27 dedicated participants who compete in five on-campus contests throughout the year. Way to go, Dudley Mathletes!
