3/4/5 Field Trip on May 13th. Kids got to go bowling, out for lunch at the Pizza Ranch, and to the park for a fun game of kickball. Was a beautiful day!!☀️💜

Spring Sports Parents,

I wanted to make you aware of a few schedule changes for next week’s track meets, as well as a possible change to the Region Golf Meet. These changes are due to the forecasted weather conditions for next week.

Track parents and athletes — the Dial-A-Move Track Meet in Warner has been moved from Monday, May 18th to Wednesday, May 20th. At this time, we still plan to attend the Super Regional in Gettysburg on May 21st. Updated meet schedules are attached.

Golf parents and athletes — it is likely that the Region Golf Meet will be moved to another day due to Monday’s forecast. Meet officials are currently working with Hillsview to determine an alternate date. We are hopeful to have a final decision by the end of today or early tomorrow.

Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we work through the weather and do our best to provide our athletes with the best opportunity to compete at a high level.

3rd, 4th, and 5th graders completed their last bit of engineering this morning. 4th and 5th built a motorized car but designed their own wheels for speed while 3rd grade built a box car and designed it for distance. Congrats to Chance and Blakely for winning their division and Ruby and Lukas for winning theirs.

Mrs. Todd's class is keeping things exciting right up to the end of school. There are now 24 chicks in the Ag Room. Today we had both the Kindergarten Class & Second Grade classes by today to see the chicks.

Join us for some fun as we say hello to summer vacation!!☀️

Mrs. Todd's Advanced Animal Science class incubated chicken eggs this quarter as part of a class project. Today, the chicks started to hatch and many students & staff enjoyed watching them come of out of their shells. Stay tuned for more Baby Chick Pictures!

Parents and Community Members,

For your planning purposes, we would like to announce that this year’s Homecoming Week will be held September 14–18.

At this time, no theme has been selected. The theme and additional Homecoming information will be announced at a later date by Student Council.

In our art classroom, we celebrate diversity and the power of expression! We are diving into the vibrant world of artist and activist Nancy Rourke. Her work is a powerful introduction to De’VIA (Deaf View/Image Art), which explores Deaf identity and the beauty of American Sign Language. You’ll notice her signature palette of bold Red, Yellow, and Blue—colors she uses to represent empowerment, enlightenment, and cultural pride. By studying her work, our students learn that art is a universal language that can break down barriers and give a voice to every experience. We are proud to foster a safe, inclusive space where every student’s story is honored and celebrated! To take a closer look at their projects, please visit Mrs. Tassler's website: https://sites.google.com/view/mrstassler/nancy-rourke

We are proud to share that Ella Hill, won the Peace Poster contest that was sponsored by the Wheat Land Lions Club of Onida. The Peace Poster contest is a project of Lions Clubs International for children ages 11-13, giving them the opportunity to share what peace means to them through art. All artwork must be the individual student’s original creation and without the use of AI generated art. As the winner of the local contest for 2025 Ella Hill received a prize of $40. Ella’s poster was forwarded to the Lions District 5SW which comprises Lions Clubs in the western half of South Dakota where she was once again judged the best and received a prize of $100. As the winner of the District contest, her poster advanced to the Lions Multiple District 5 which is made up of North and South Dakota and the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. While not the first place winner, she will receive a prize of $50. Congratulations Ella Hill!

4th graders created a Rube Goldberg project. They learned to use simple machines to make a complex contraption. Each groups assignment was to make an 8-10 step contraption. They then tied each contraption together to make one large clas contraption. They had to use their engineering skills to find solutions in getting each step to work. Check out the 3rd-5th Facebook page to see the video of it in action.

With state testing behind us, ABO middle schoolers have been busy creating projects, games, and cup towers to apply their previously learned math concepts. The 8th graders created Trash to Treasure projects to review surface area and volume
