🎉💜 HOMECOMING WEEK FUN! 💜🎉 Today’s dress-up theme was “Rhyme Without Reason” — and our Sully Buttes students definitely understood the assignment! 😂👏 From Let it Go -Golf Pro- Lil'Bro, to Banana & Hannah Montana, Toes-Bows, Old-Gold, Katie Perry-Tooth fairy, and plenty of other completely random rhyming combinations, the creativity was SO good! 🤪🍌⛳️🎤 There may have been absolutely no reason behind these outfits… but there was definitely a rhyme! 😆 💜🖤🤍💛 Go Chargers!

🚨 BUILD DAKOTA ROADSHOW IS COMING TO ONIDA! 🚨

What if we could help our students build a future right here at home? 🏡🌾

We invite all high school students and parents, Sully County businesses, community members, and anyone interested in the future of our community to join us for the Build Dakota Roadshow!

This is an incredible opportunity to learn how we can:

🔨 Connect students with high-demand career opportunities
💼 Strengthen and support our local businesses
🎓 Help students pursue training and careers without leaving South Dakota
🏘️ Build a stronger workforce right here in Sully County
🌱 Keep another generation in our community!

Our communities are strongest when we invest in our young people—and when our young people have opportunities to come home, stay, work, and build a life here. ❤️

The shop classes have been super busy building a 16'x20' shed for much needed additional storage and space for our Industrial Tech/Ag shop classes. Wade Hiller and M.J. Oliver have brought their years of professional expertise to help Mr. Gittings safely teach carpentry skills to our A-B-O students. Community and school partnership at its best bringing extremely valuable hands on learning for possible future careers and life. Stay tuned for more to come!!

Students learned all about apples in Mrs. Dekker's room last week! We did STEM challenges, taste tests, apple artwork, sensory play, and got to pretend we were at a real apple orchard!

Come join us at Thursday's volleyball game and make a difference!
Some items that have been donated so far include:
2 nights stay at Deer Mountain Lodge
Cheesecake from Tina LaRosh
Snowman decoration from Julene Yackley
Hot Sauce from The Bunkhouse
Cookies by Macy Clark
Blanket from Beth Rinehart
Various baked goods and many baskets
And much more!

Owl Pellet Dissection day. 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders had a blast figuring out the diet of a Sully County barn owl today. Lots of fun putting the puzzle pieces together. Thank you Marla and Kara Huse for the discovery.

Our K–6th grade artists kicked off the school year celebrating International Dot Day, using creativity and courage to make their mark! This year, our students explored the life and abstract art of American artist Howardena Pindell, learning how art can transform personal experiences into powerful expression: Grades K–2: Our youngest artists paired Pindell's artwork with Peter H. Reynolds' book The Dot, focusing on self-expression and starting with just a simple mark. They then created their own watercolor space and galaxy paintings inspired by Pindell’s colorful, circle-filled cosmos. Grades 3–6: Students discussed Pindell’s childhood memory of being served from a red-dotted cup during the era of segregation—a key moment that inspired her lifelong fascination with circles. We explored how she transformed a symbol of exclusion into vibrant, positive statements using layered paper dots, texture, and color. Take a closer look at their projects on Mrs. Tassler's website: https://sites.google.com/view/mrstassler/k-6-howardena-pindell

The kids had fun today making their tye dye shirts for Homecoming! Thank you Gerri, Karen, Lynne for coming in and doing this project with the kids! Brielle thank you for donating the shirts for the kids!

Congratulations to these Second Grade Super Spellers!

JV and MS Football Parents,

Due to multiple injuries, we will not be able to play in the JV Football Jamboree this Saturday in Gettysburg. We are hopeful that we can get everyone healed up and be ready to play next Saturday at Warner.

The Middle School Football team will still attend the jamboree in Gettysburg on Saturday.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to have our JV group healthy and back on the field next week!

Due to the ABO District having no school on Monday, September 14th, we will not be doing Monday's homecoming dress up day. We will start with Rhyme without Reason on Tuesday.
