Access to High School Campus Limited... Alternate Route Suggestions
Travel Advisory to access the High School driveway... The NDOR will be resurfacing the access road from Highway 1 to the High School Driveway entrance from today, July 18 through July 25, 2018. There will be access to the driveway from the gravel road (south of the driveway) on 42nd street.
There's 2 possible routes to the 42nd street gravel road; see highlighted map within this message.
We're appreciative of Cass County for resurfacing this small, but highly-used road into our high school campus. With improvements, sometimes we have to endure the time and inconvience during the process. We hope your summer is going well... it's just a short time before we're back in the school route. Thank you for your patience!
We recently ranked the most unique bed and breakfasts across the nation and wanted to let you know that the Slattery Vintage Estates Bed and Breakfast ranked as the most unique bed and breakfast in Nebraska!
Our Unique Bed and Breakfast in Nebraska
Spend the day touring a working vineyard and winery, sampling different vintages in the tasting room, enjoy a cheese plate and catch some live music in the courtyard at Slattery Vintage Estates in Nebraska. Don’t bother calling an Uber when you’re ready to call it quits- you can spend the night on the grounds in the estate’s unique outdoor bed and breakfast. Slattery bills itself as the “original glamping destination in the Midwest.” Each elevated tent is furnished with antiques in prairie-elegant fashion, and has a small porch strung with lights, for a charming effect in the evening. It’s hard to picture a better destination for couples, and the company website’s many photos of proposals made on the grounds attest to the romantic vibe. Each tent in the bed and breakfast has its own fire pit, and guests can purchase not only wine from the estate, but also foil dinners to cook over the fire or even s’mores. Pairing local wine with marshmallows by the campfire with your significant other? We’re willing to bet you won’t forget this unique glamping experience.

Make the taco seasoning: Mix all of the ingredients with 1 tablespoon each salt and black pepper in a bowl.
Prepare the pizza: Mix 2 tablespoons of the taco seasoning and the canola oil in a shallow bowl. Pound the chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to 1/4 inch thick. Add the chicken to the bowl, turning to coat, and marinate 30 minutes.
Preheat a grill to medium high. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Let cool, then cut into bite-size pieces.
Divide the dough into 3 pieces. Roll out each on a floured surface into an 8-inch round. Brush with canola oil, sprinkle with taco seasoning and grill until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes per side; remove from the grill.
Mix the cheeses in a bowl, then sprinkle on the crusts and top with the chicken. Return the pizzas to the grill, and cook until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the avocado, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, red onion, and salt and pepper to taste. Top the pizzas with the avocado mixture, salsa, sour cream and cilantro.
