Hey Viking Nation, here’s an opportunity to help out another small town…..

“Smalltown Strong” - one community supporting another in time of need. The Viking basketball teams and coaches want to offer a helping hand at a challenging time for the Goodenow family from Arnold, NE who tragically lost their home to a fire on December 8th, 2025. Allison & Kenny Goodenow and their three young children lost everything with the Christmas holiday season quickly approaching. Allison Goodenow is both Arnold’s principal and South Loup Girls’ Basketball Head Coach.

Bertrand is scheduled to play South Loup in Callaway on January 10th, and we would love to show the Goodenow family our support, from one small community to another. Bertrand Community School is hosting a fundraiser with “Smalltown Strong” apparel (the link is included in this post), with the proceeds going to the Goodenow family as they recover from this event. Both South Loup & Bertrand girls’/boys’ basketball teams will be showing their support by wearing their “Smalltown Strong” apparel during warm-ups prior to the games; we would LOVE both communities’ support for this family as well. Everyone has the opportunity to show their support with the link attached to purchase their own “Smalltown Strong” apparel, again, with all proceeds going to the Goodenow family.

This will be a quick turn-around fundraiser as the deadline to order apparel is December 29th at 12:00 noon to guarantee items will be received in time for the game on January 10th! These orders can either be shipped to the purchaser or be delivered to Callaway School to be picked up on game day. Any orders after the deadline will be shipped directly to the purchaser with no guarantee to arrive by game day.

Christmas festivities for this evening!

We had a very naughty elf in the building today!

Our area has been issued a High WInd Warning Advisory beginning late tonight and continuing through tomorrow evening. With strong winds in the forecast, I want to remind everyone that high winds can create dangerous conditions for school buses—especially on open highways and rural roads. When winds reach a level where safe travel becomes a concern, student safety will always come first. I will continue to closely monitor conditions throughout the night and early morning and will send notifications if delays, early releases, or cancellations become necessary. Thank you for your understanding and support as we prioritize safe transportation for our students and staff. #GoVikings
