Earlier this semester, the Pawnee City high school students attend “Apply2College Day” event. Mrs. Swanson helped with the planning while Mrs. Blecha was on maternity leave.
Some of the colleges that attended were UNO, UNL, Peru, Highland, Wayne State, SCC, and Northwest Missouri. Some of the businesses that attended included Haverkamp, Farmers-COOP, and Koch. We also had military personnel in attendance, including members of the National Guard, the Air Force, and the Marines.
When asked about Apply2College Day, Kinsley Benson said, "My favorite college was Nebraska Wesleyan, since I will be attending there after I graduate.” She went on to say that she enjoyed decorating a mini cake in Wesleyan's colors.
Seniors were treated to lunch, and when their parents arrived, they learned about filling out paperwork to apply for financial aid.
A big thank you to all the businesses and colleges that attended, and a special thank you to Mrs. Swanson helping out while Mrs. Blecha is on maternity leave.
