As communities across Nebraska gather for graduations, Memorial Day observances, and summer events, this season serves as a reminder of the values that bring us together, service, hard work, faith, and pride in our communities. It is also a time to reflect on the accomplishments of the past year while looking ahead with optimism and determination as we continue working to strengthen our district and our state for future generations.
This spring, we celebrate one of life’s most important milestones as graduating seniors across the district receive their diplomas and prepare for the next chapter of their lives. Congratulations to all of our graduates on this outstanding achievement.Your dedication, perseverance, and commitment have brought you to this moment, and your families, teachers, and communities share in your success.Whether your future includes college, military service, technical training, or entering the workforce, we are confident you will continue making Nebraska proud.
Nebraska also has an exciting opportunity ahead as Governor Jim Pillen recently announced the state’s participation in the 2026 “Great American State Fair” on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., as part of the national celebration commemorating America’s 250th birthday. Nebraska’s pavilion will highlight the people, industries, and values that define our state, including agriculture, manufacturing, innovation, tourism, and community leadership. Through interactive exhibits and Nebraska-made products, visitors from across the country will have the opportunity to experience what makes our state unique. The event, hosted by Freedom 250 from June 25 through July 10, 2026, will bring together all 50 states and U.S. territories to celebrate our nation’s history, culture, and future.
