Rawlins County USD 105

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Midwest Energy, ACE Foundation, and Dane G. Hansen for their generous support of our ukulele program. Their commitment to strengthening communities and supporting the arts has made a meaningful and lasting impact.

Because of your contributions, we have been able to provide instruments and an exciting challenge for our students. The ukulele program has brought joy, connection, and confidence to our upper elementary students, and that would not be possible without their support.

Your belief in our mission inspires us to continue expanding access to music and enriching lives through shared creative experiences. Thank you for helping us build a stronger, more vibrant community through music.

With sincere appreciation,
Paul Daldegan

Rawlins County Music Educator

The Rawlins County High School Entrepreneurship Fair took place on Wednesday, March 4th, bringing together 17 Business Ideas and 35 students for an exciting day of innovation and competition.

Each team presented its business idea to a panel of five selected judges and answered questions about their concepts. Judges evaluated each team based on both their oral presentation and their written business plan. Students had the opportunity to earn up to $2,100 in prizes.
“All the students who participated were great representatives of our community, and it was amazing to see the talent our students have. They all have bright futures ahead of them!” Joseph Sramek
