Watching these 6th graders collaborate to build their solo cup towers was a great reminder that leadership starts with teamwork, communication, and trust. As part of our SD Sturdy social-emotional curriculum, this lesson on Crazy Horse helped students see how strong leaders guide with courage, unity, and respect for their people. Proud of their effort and creativity! -Mrs. Bucklin
After months of rehearsals, our students are ready to take the stage. Join us this weekend to celebrate their hard work and creativity!

Kindergarten Families,
Due to a conflict for some of our families with Kindergarten Graduation and the 4th-6th grade Eastern Coteau Conference Track Meet, we have decided to move our Kindergarten graduation date to Friday, May 8th at 2:00pm. This is one day after the initial date, so hopefully there is not much issue for families/family members and other attenders to easily adjust for the change. Thank you for understanding- we are not interested in splitting families up on such an important day for your children.
Friday, May 8th is a NO SCHOOL day for Kindergarten. Mrs. Olson will communicate more details about this day with families soon.
Sincerely,
Grant Hanson, Principal
Bailley Olson, Kindergarten Teacher

Mrs. Ammann took these middle schoolers to Mitchell earlier this week for a MS Choir Festival! They did a great job, and they had a great time!
Mr. Neppl took these students outside today to get a little exercise and experience serving their community by picking up garbage around the neighborhood!
Check out this unique opportunity for middle school students just up the road in June!
Mrs. Kirchmeier's biology students again created ecosystem simulations using 2-liter bottles to explore the cycling of the essential elements of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen through biotic and abiotic components of an aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem. Students worked with a partner to design a way to connect the two ecosystems so that nutrients can cycle appropriately, and life can be sustained for a month-long period. They assembled their ecosystems in class and will collect daily observations throughout this month. At the completion of the month, students will write a report of their findings, relating their observations back to what they know about the cycling of nutrients and the interrelationships of organisms. Organisms include goldfish or minnows, regular grass, aquatic grass, bacopa, crickets, and super worms. We hope that Joe Montagua, Jerry Fish, Kelpin Gates, and Kentrell live long and happy lives.
