School News What a great week!!! The kids had so many fun
activities going on, and it was great to see the
parental support at the MPTO and school sponsored
activities. It’s hard to believe that the students only
have 3 ½ days of school left. They have come so
far this year academically but also socially. The
last day of school will be Thursday, May 17th and
the students will be dismissed at 11:28. Please
remember to check backpacks this last week of
school as students will be bringing many different
things home.
The last Westfall Newsletter for the 2011-2012 school
year will be sent home on Thursday and will resume
in August.

IXL Summer Program
This summer students in grades
1-8 (in the fall) will have the
opportunity to take part in the
IXL Challenge. IXL is a web
based practice site where
students can work on math
topics that are aligned to the
Nebraska standards.
This year the challenge will be
for students to successfully
complete 1,000 problems, at
or above grade level (from
the 2011-2012 school year),
between May 18 and August
14. Students that successfully
complete the challenge will
be recognized in the fall.
We are hoping your children
will take advantage of this
opportunity to continue to get
better at the skills they will
need to become more
successful at math. If you
have any questions about the
program or how to access the
site please contact the
Westfall Office at 402-796-
2151 or Mr. Mahoney at
[email protected]. An IXL
Information Form will be
coming home soon in your
child’s backpack.
Kindergarten Program On Friday, May 4th all the buckaroos in Kindergarten presented a ranch show to parents and grandparents.
The audience was treated to lasso tricks, harmonica tunes,
sign language, square dancing, jokes along the trail,
and plenty of good tunes! Refreshments were served and a slideshow about the ranch was shown too! The cowboys and cowgirls all
dresses in Western Wear and cowboy hats were tossed as a sign of "good job". To all our Malcolm friends we say
"happy trails" for the
summer! So long partner and catch ya at the ranch next
August! A special thank you to Mrs. Luebbe, Mrs. Welsh, Mr.
Beach, Mrs. Vanderkolk, and Mrs. Minzel for all the hard work that they did to make
this a fun and enjoyable program.
Great Job!!!
Congratulations to the 60 students from
Malcolm that competed in the Lincoln
Mayor’s Run this past weekend. Malcolm
placed 2nd overall in the total number of
students participating from a school our size.
Skate Night A BIG Thank You to the MPTO for
sponsoring the Spring Skate Night at
Skate Zone. The students, staff, and
parents had a great time and enjoyed
skating with their friends.
3rd grade Fieldtrip 3rd grade had a shocking and hair-raising
experience on their field trip to the Edgerton Explorit Center in Aurora. Two cool scientists did experiments with electricity and the states
of matter. There was also a play-zone with hands-on science activities to try. We really
liked the interactive video game, the big bubble maker, and the balloon pop station. Our
favorite part was when "Mad Scientist Guy" blew up not one, but TWO hydrogen filled balloons! We ended our day with a picnic
lunch and playtime at a local park. Thanks to all the parents who came and enjoyed the day
with us.
Thank you to the parents and community members that attended the
MPTO Meeting on Monday night to discuss the possibilities of an upcoming
Fall Festival. With such a great turn out and wonderful ideas, we think that
this will be a successful and exciting event that will bring the community
together. The festival will be scheduled in September with a specific date
coming soon.
To make the Fall Festival run smoothly, the MPTO is looking for volunteers
that would like to chair the following committees with support from the
MPTO and administration. If you are interested please let Angela
Beekman, Sandy Streeter, or Mrs. Dolliver know what you would like to help
with.
Promotion & Advertising
Prizes
Concessions/Food
Special Events/Attractions
Raffles
If you cannot chair a committee at this time, we will be looking for
volunteers and helpers to provide additional support prior to and during
the festival.
Thank you in advance for helping support MPTO and Malcolm Public
Schools.
"Thank you to Jill England and Kealie Thomas for helping out on the 6th grade "mini" field trip and to Lecia
Teten for her excellent presentation on recycling."

The 2012 Westfall Elementary Track and Field and Fun Day was a huge success. The students had so
much fun and enjoyed a variety of events and fun day activities. Awesome job to all the K-6 students on
a great day and there is definitely going to be some great track athletes in the years to come.
Also a BIG Thank You to Mr. Tobey and all the MPS Staff for making things run smoothly.
