About Us


We love our public schools and we know you do, too. That's why we are working hard to tell the story—your story—of how Nebraska's public schools are using innovative programs and practices that make a big impact.

The mission of the Nebraska Loves Public Schools (NElovesPS) campaign is to instill pride in Nebraska’s public schools. From parents to lawmakers, taxpayers to those considering a move to the state, we want everyone to know about the great things happening in public schools throughout Nebraska. We use videos and social media to spread the word. 

Education is a vital tool for closing the socio-economic gap and giving children the leg up they need to succeed in the world. We believe that Nebraska state residents have a lot to be proud of. Although when it comes to education, there is always room for growth, we can all be proud of the many success stories coming from Omaha to Ogallala.

In order to tell the most compelling stories possible we need your help. Is your district or school using technology in a new and innovative way? Are your students taking community service to a whole new level? Are the arts making a huge impact on your students? Is your team winning trophies while motivating kids to learn? We want to hear all about it!    

Please contact us directly with all of your great story ideas by emailing denise@nelovesps.org, finding us on Twitter @NElovesPS, or visiting our Facebook page at Facebook/NElovesPS.  You can always call us anytime at (877) 521-3786. We look forward to spreading the word about all of the wonderful ways our public schools are making a difference for our kids, and for our state.

Nebraska Loves Public Schools is fully funded by the Sherwood Foundation. The mission of the Sherwood Foundation is to promote equity through social justice initiatives enhancing the quality of life in Nebraska.
