Neligh-Oakdale Kicks Off School With Family BBQ

It wouldn't be the beginning of the school year for Neligh-Oakdale without the Education Foundation's annual Back To School BBQ.

The nonprofit organization, which offers scholarships to graduates and classroom grants for teachers, hosted its annual BBQ on Monday night. The event also serves as one of the many Title nights for the elementary program. Title teacher Kelly Ptacek reminded parents that not all of the Title events are free and said she's hoping to have a couple of sponsors help with donations to continue the activities.

Neligh-Oakdale begins classes on Tuesday. Those who would like to donate to the Title nights may contact Ptacek at West Ward Elementary.
