Ponca High School is hosting an invitational fundraiser, The Battle of the Pep Bands, on Friday, January 16th at 7:00 PM. Come cheer on your favorite school: Ponca, Wayne, Allen, or Pender. Free-will donations at the door, where you choose which school’s music department receives your donation. This is a round-robin-style contest; each school will take turns playing five pep band songs in total. No school can repeat a song played previously by another school. Between rounds, there will be individual mini-contests featuring “unique” skills.

They're at it again! Little Red Hen Theatre - Wakefield, NE.

Check out our cast! Madelyne Herting plays Helen in A Christmas Carol, December 5, 6, & 7! Madelyne has done many shows at LRHT such as Tarzan, A Christmas Carol, Beauty and the Beast, and more. She enjoys reading, writing, and DnD.

Why should people come see A Christmas Story?
People should come to see the show because everyone has worked very hard to put it together. They may learn how different things were in the 1940s compared to today and how people look back on those times.

What is the ONE Christmas gift that you always wanted?
A christmas gift Madelyne has always wanted is more books.
