Honoring All Who Served

We believe Veterans Day is a special time for all of us to come together to honor YOU—our Veterans!
Every veteran deserves our deepest respect, appreciation, and gratitude. We are forever grateful for your service, your sacrifices, and the courage and bravery you have shown in defending our great nation and the freedoms we enjoy every day.
This program is our opportunity to recognize and honor the brave men and women who have proudly served in the United States Armed Forces.
To all our veterans: Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your dedication to our country. We are forever grateful!
We hope you will join us as we come together as a school and community to honor our nation's heroes.

More information coming soon!
As a general expectation at all Selby Area Schools events, we ask that children remain in the stands with their parents or guardians rather than running around the school or outside the building.
For everyone's safety, please limit children going in and out of the building and help prevent snow, mud, and dirt from being tracked inside.
Our custodial staff works extremely hard to keep our facilities clean and safe, and we appreciate your help in respecting their efforts.
Thank you for helping us maintain a safe, clean, and enjoyable environment for everyone.

Photography Students Capture Life on the Bohle Farm
Selby Area School’s photography class took its annual trip to Brandice and Al Bohle’s farm, where students completed an assignment focused on photographing animals in their natural surroundings. The visit gave students a chance to get closer to the animals, explore new subjects, and practice using light, composition, and different camera angles outside the classroom.
The Bohles’ farm is home to a variety of animals, including Thoroughbreds ranging from retired racehorses to current racers and young racing prospects, Quarter and Paint horse mares with foals, and Percheron draft horses. Their cattle include Longhorns, Brahman and Brahman crosses, Watusi, and Black and Red Angus. Among the farm’s memorable residents is Poncho, a Watusi–Longhorn cross known for his parade appearances. Guinea fowl, cats, and their dog, Faize, add even more opportunities for students to capture farm life.
Another special resident is Jazzy Jasper, a colt named in honor of the late Jasper Iron Cloud. His mother, Mindy, previously belonged to Jasper, giving the colt’s name a meaningful connection to the family’s history.
Photographing live animals encourages students to be patient, observant, and ready to capture a moment as it unfolds. This assignment offers another avenue for creative expression while helping students build their photography skills through hands-on experience.
Thank you to Brandice and Al Bohle for welcoming our class and sharing their farm with our students!
