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.

Today we are proud to recognize Laney Schwab! 🐾
Laney has been a tremendous addition to our CCCMS family. Her kindness and acceptance of others truly stand out, and she consistently goes out of her way to connect with those around her. Whether it's offering a friendly word or simply making someone feel seen, Laney leads with heart.
What makes her even more special is how she takes initiative—approaching and speaking to others without hesitation. That confidence, paired with genuine compassion, is what being Bengal Strong is all about!
Laney is an awesome human being, and we are so glad she is part of our school community. Keep setting the standard! 🧡🖤

This week we’re shining the spotlight on Mrs. Argo’s PAWS Class – “Pablo’s Posse!”
Our Bengal Spotlight Featured PAWS class this week is Mrs. Argo's Class! "Pablo's Posse" aka Mrs. Argo's PAWS class is a very quiet, reserved class during Leader in Me lessons—but don’t let that fool you… when they’re challenged by another PAWS class, their competitive and enthusiastic side comes alive! 💥
They love getting active with games like Silent Ball and Kill Ball when time allows, and several students step up as leaders by participating in our daily morning announcements 🎤👏
One thing they are especially proud of? 100% participation in spring conferences—every student and parent showed up! That’s dedication, pride, and true Bengal Strong habits in action! 🐾💪
Mrs. Argo’s PAWS kids are truly a wonderful group, and we can’t wait to see all the great things they accomplish next. Keep shining, Pablo’s Posse! 🌟
Jayce Bergstrom is setting the standard for what it means to be a Bengal. When another student dropped a paper in the hallway with their hands full, Jayce didn’t hesitate to step in and help. This simple act showed awareness, initiative, and genuine kindness—without being asked and without expecting recognition.👏🏻
Jayce consistently demonstrates politeness and care for others, leading by example each day. He reminds us all that the standard is about doing the right thing, even in the smallest moments.🧡
Way to go, Jayce—thank you for being a great Bengal and an even better human! 🐾
