We held our final SOARing breakfast before winter break this week. This is our opportunity to celebrate our outstanding students. Students are nominated by staff for showing self-control, ownership, positive attitude, and being respectful. Families were treated to an inspirational message by Sioux Falls Fire Inspector, Mark Ellens, husband of Terry Redlin Elementary's Instructional Coach, Kelsey! Congrats, Eagles!!
Winter Break runs from December 23rd-January 1st. School will start again on Thursday, January 2nd. Have a great break and we will see you in 2025!
Celebrate Church has generously put together a food bag with meat, vegetables, and lot of food for ALL families at our school. There will also be recipes in the bag! Every oldest child will come home with this large, heavy bag tonight after school. The meat is in an insulated pouch, however, you will want to put in your refrigerator/freezer when your child gets home. Have a great holiday break!
Throughout December, our students and staff have been tying blankets for Project Warm-up. A special thank you to Augustana University soccer for helping our students with this amazing project.
Our SOARing students all earned a popcorn/movie party in their classroom for earning over 8,000 SOAR slips this month! Ms. Cartner's 2nd graders earned over 1,000 in their class! Mrs. Saavedra's 4th graders had fun tickets to enter into the movie with while enjoying their popcorn!
Students in library recently put their engineering to the test by making sleighs and candy canes!
Mrs. Saavadra's 4th graders built gingerbread houses with their buddies in Kindergarten (Miss Ounnarath's class). We are proud of our students as they love when they get to spend time with their buddies!
