Agar-Blunt-Onida School District 58-3

Reminder: Parents and guardians are responsible for the supervision of their children who are in attendance at Sully Buttes extracurricular events. The ABO School District and staff are not responsible for injuries or incidents involving children who are not supervised by their parent or guardian during these events.

We also ask that parents please help make sure their children pick up after themselves. This includes picking up any trash left in the playground, park, and surrounding areas.

Thank you for helping us provide a safe environment and keep our school grounds clean for everyone!

Our students recently finished an incredible unit inspired by internationally acclaimed South African Ndebele artist Esther Mahlangu! After studying how Mahlangu uses bold Ndebele geometric patterns and vibrant color to preserve history and share her narrative, students reflected on a meaningful childhood memory of their own. Using precision drafting tools (rulers and T-squares), they engineered intricate geometric borders surrounding stylized graphic compositions that turn their personal stories into art. For a closer look to their art pieces and to be able to read their art statements please visit Mrs. Tassler website: https://sites.google.com/view/mrstassler/hs-esther-mahlangu?authuser=0

AFNR shop classes are working on finishing up putting the steel on our storage shed. After that we will install the big roll up door and have it all weather tight.

Pumpkin Fun!! 🎃

FFA hosted their Annual Pumpkins with Preschoolers event yesterday. Lots of fun was had including a pumpkin hunt, story time, pumpkin painting and more! Thank you to Austin & Moriah Gross for the pumpkins!

Hey Chargers!!! Look who's coming for a visit!!

Come cheer on the Chargers by wearing pink!!!

Wow, what a great field trip the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders had last week with a visit to Marla Huse. Their class times were filled with observing lots of different pollinators, life cycles of plants, and even decomposing underwear. The kids favorite was the catching, tagging, and releasing of Monarch Butterflies! Thank you, Marla, for all you are able to share with our youth.

Second Graders soil painting in Ag in the Classroom.

Reminder to Parents of Football Players, Statisticians, and Cheerleaders:

We ask that all parents be at the field by 6:25 PM, as we would like to begin Parents Night promptly at 6:35 PM.

Thank you, and we look forward to recognizing our athletes and their parents!

Second Grade designing bird feeders in Science.

Our 3rd–5th grade STEAM students have officially wrapped up their very first stop on our STEAM World Tour! To close out our exploration of South Africa, students learned all about traditional Rondavel homes. Putting their engineering and artistic skills to work, they constructed their own 3D Rondavels using construction paper and painted them with vibrant geometric patterns and motifs inspired by traditional Ndebele art. We are so proud of their creativity, precision, and global curiosity! Next stop... Colombia!

Congratulations to our place winners at the Miller Invite! Carmyn placed 2nd in JV girls, Blakely placed 6th in middle school girls, and Wyatt placed 2nd in JV boys. Great job, Chargers!

Second Grade Super Spellers of the week! Nice job!

Mr. Dekker's US Government class is starting off debate season with our "10 Minute Debates". The two debates were conducted on the topics of whether a Hot Dog is a sandwich or not, and whether milk or cereal goes first. Great first showing!

What a night to be a Charger!! New Poms ✔️ Mascot appearance ✔️ A huge thank you to Connor Yackley for bringing Charlie out to help cheer and working your AI photo magic. Thank you to our student section who is always helping bring the hype and cheer. It was a great win even if the weather wasn't great 🌫️🥶 💜💛

Congratulations to the Marching Chargers for receiving a Gold award at the Gypsy Days Parade in Aberdeen on Saturday!!
