🔥 Be The Standard: Call of the Day 🔥
Today’s shoutout is going to someone who truly set the bar high… Wade Hamel! 👏
This one is extra special because it’s our first-ever Call of the Day where students recognized greatness in one of their own and took the time to nominate him—how awesome is that?! 🙌 Huge thanks to Laney and Kennedy for seeing the good and speaking up!
During the Home Track Meet, when others passed by, Wade stepped up. He volunteered to pick up trash—no spotlight, no recognition, just doing what needed to be done. 💪 And here’s the kicker… he had his own event coming up, and still chose to help out first. That’s next-level selflessness.
Wade showed what it means to put First Things First and think Win-Win—taking care of our school while supporting his team at the same time. This is just one example of the kind of character he brings to CCCMS every single day.
Way to go, Wade—YOU are setting the standard! 🐾

🐾🧡 Bengal Strong Habits in Action Spotlight 🧡🐾
Today we’re rolling out the orange carpet for a VERY special crew… it’s Administrative Professionals Day, and we are celebrating the absolute MVPs of our building! 🎉
Let’s be real—our school secretaries are the glue, the engine, the calendar keepers, the problem solvers, the “do you have a minute?” lifesavers… basically the reason anything runs smoothly around here 😄
We truly couldn’t do this job without you.
You are simply THE BEST.
Our success depends on you more than you know, and your hard work never goes unnoticed.
From answering a million questions a day to keeping us all organized (and sane), you keep our Bengals rolling strong 🐾
Let’s give a BIG shoutout and ALL the appreciation to our two amazing secretaries—we are so lucky to have you leading the way every single day! 🖤🧡
👇 Keep scrolling to meet these behind-the-scenes superheroes… their bios are below, and trust us—you’re going to want to read these office legends in action! 😎✨
Ashley Snyder is in her fourth year serving as a secretary for USD 379. Her husband is a paramedic with Riley County EMS. They have three daughters—a 5th grader, a 3rd grader, and a 1st grader—who keep them on their toes! In their free time, you'll usually find them on the road with B’s softball team, NEK Traveling basketball, or cheering on their younger two in Rec sports. They love staying busy and being involved in the community! Ashley loves a good sunny day to just be outside, watch her kids play, and enjoy the finer things in life.
Ginny Hovland is in her Third School Year, and she loves what she does and who she works with. She has been married for 21 years with 2 of the most outspoken children she could ask for. Her son graduated in May 2025, and her daughter is a 9th grader. She enjoys reading and mathematics. Along with English, aka ELA, and Music. Her favorite colors are Red, Blue Go KU, and Pink and black. Also, she feels like we all have some of the BEST Students between the two Schools. She says we have some amazing staff, and she enjoys working with them all.

After reading a play adaptation of Anne of Green Gables, Mrs. Blaine's Bengal Writing class decided to write their own plays! Students utilized prewriting strategies to develop a story plot, then they expanded with stage directions and character dialogue.

🐾📚 Bengal Strong Habits in Action – Spotlight Department: Library Staff! 📚🐾
Today we’re celebrating National Librarian Day (and giving a little extra love after National School Librarian Day on April 4th) by shining the spotlight on the heart of our school’s learning hub—our incredible Library Staff!
✨ Lynn Auld – Librarian
✨ Tasha Siemers – Library Aide
These two go far beyond checking out books—they create a space where every student feels welcome, supported, and inspired. Whether it’s helping students discover their next favorite read, providing a quiet place to reset, supporting research and learning, or simply offering a friendly smile, they make the library a place students want to be. From keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes to supporting classes, technology needs, and even those last-minute printing emergencies—they truly do it all. Their dedication helps keep our school organized, engaged, and always learning.
👏 Thank you for being such an important part of our Bengal family and for modeling Bengal Strong Habits every single day!
👉 Be sure to check out their bios to learn more about what makes them them outside of the library!
Lynn Auld is in her 21st year of teaching and her 13th year as Library Media Specialist. Although she is not in the building a lot, she is always available by email. Drop her a line sometime. She is married to Andy, and he is on the school board. They have three human children: Zoe works in Wichita as a legal assistant, Jorja is a freshman at Cloud County Community College, and Reece is a freshman at CCCHS. She has two fur babies: Rut is 5 and Finn is 4.
Tasha Siemers has been an Aide in the CCCMS Bengal Library since 2015 and quickly realized it was exactly where she was meant to be. She loves helping students find the right book, a quiet place to reset, or simply a space where they feel welcome. Tasha has been married to her husband, Daniel, since 2007. He’s a firefighter here in Clay Center, and together they’re raising two boys—Daniel Jr., a junior, and Kadyn, an eighth grader. Over the years, she’s collected quite a few “adopted” kiddos. She believes the library should feel like home, and the door is always open. When she’s not in the library, Tasha also works PRN in the Therapy Department at Clay County Medical Center. While she doesn’t work there often, she truly enjoys it as a change of pace and looks forward to picking up additional hours during the summer.
