📚✨ Students across Elko County School District celebrated Nevada Reading Week with storytelling, community readers, and a special visit from author Brad Herzog.
From March 2–5, Herzog traveled across the district visiting Northside, Jackpot, Owyhee, Carlin, Liberty Peak, Spring Creek, Mountain View, Southside, and Grammar #2 Elementary Schools. Students learned about creativity, imagination, and how even a single detail can change the direction of a story.
One unforgettable moment happened at Mountain View Elementary, where a student named Luke eagerly approached Brad after the presentation to share a book he had written. Brad took time to look through Luke’s work and encourage him to keep writing — a powerful reminder of how inspiring moments like these can spark confidence and creativity in young authors.
Events like Nevada Reading Week bring together teachers, families, and community members to celebrate literacy and encourage students to discover the joy of reading and storytelling.

⚾ Wells Varsity Boys Baseball– Feb 27 & 28, 2026
Feb 27: Tough loss against Laughlin High School, 22-23.
Feb 28: Strong bounce-back victory over Indian Springs High School, 20-5!
Great effort by the team – onto the next game! 🐆
By Team Reports
Feb 27, 2026, 7:03pm
Wells had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They fell just short of the Laughlin Cougars by a score of 23-22 on Friday. The Leopards were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Cougars apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in March of 2025.
Tristen Zimmerman was cooking despite his team's loss, going 4-for-5 with three stolen bases, three runs, and three RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Michael Aguilar, who went 3-for-6 with four stolen bases, four RBI, and two runs
By Team Reports
Feb 28, 2026, 4:13pm
Wells won the last time they faced Indian Springs and things went their way on Saturday too. The Leopards were the clear victors by a 19-3 margin over the Thunderbirds. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Leopards.
Charley Peterson made a splash no matter where he played. He struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in April of 2025. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with one run and one RBI.
Wells hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Indian Springs struck out ten times.
Wells now has a winning record of 2-1. As for Indian Springs, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 0-2.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming matchups. Wells will venture away from home to face off against Pyramid Lake at 10:00 a.m. on Friday. This will be the Leopards' first chance to prove their worth in the conference.
