Ponca Public Schools

We knew our kids would shop ready to pack meals for Orphan Grain Train, but we were not expecting this! Between last night and today there were 79,902 meals packed! The most ever 👏👏👏 We are so proud! #ThePoncaWay

Tomorrow, our students will be packaging meals for the Orphan Grain Train! Our students always do an incredible job with this event. Today, Ms. Wragge, served up the meals students will be packaging for them to try. Stay tuned to see how many meals they package tomorrow!

It was a beautiful day to ride our Strider bikes in PE class ☀️

Tomorrow is the last day to get registered for the K-6 Cheer Clinic!

In support of Team Kinsley and in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Ponca NHS and Team Kinsley are fundraising for Sanford Children’s Holiday Wishlist. Donations can be dropped off at the high school by October 16. Thank you for standing with Kinsley and our community. #TeamKinsley #ThePoncaWay

Did you know that September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month? 🎗️ Today, our staff had the opportunity to participate in a fundraiser hosted by the Bennett family to support kids, teens, and families in the hospital. By ordering coffee from Scooters, we enjoyed a win-win combo ☕️. All proceeds will benefit Sanford Children’s Hospital in Sioux Falls for their Christmas Wishlist. Not only did we contribute to this wonderful cause and enjoy delicious coffee, but we also had the chance to express our continued support and love for Kinsley and her family. Ella from Ella’s Espresso and her assistant, Jaeden Hughes, helped by delivering coffee to all the staff. #TeamKinsley #ThePoncaWay
