Thank You, Veterans! What a great program put on today by Mrs. Stier, Ms. Stier, Mrs. Senfter, Mrs. Paxton, and our Sully Buttes students! A special thank you to Mrs. Quinn for delivering a powerful message about the sacrifice and service of our veterans and current military members.

Congratulations to Coach Brian White for being selected as the 9B Assistant Coach of the Year! This is a very deserving award for someone who puts in a lot of time and effort each and every week to get the Chargers ready to compete.

Oral Interp District participants.

Students had a great time in Rapid City attending Scrubs Camp at WDT! They got to learn all about multiple different careers in the medical field and experiment with tools and techniques. Maddie even placed 6th out of 200+ students in Healthcare Career Jeopardy!

The 4th grade STEAM class had a wonderful time with Mrs. Tassler as she shared her favorite Mexican tradition, Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead)! She was so impressed by how much the students already knew—their knowledge was truly amazing. They absolutely loved the hands-on activity of decorating vibrant sugar skull cookies! What a beautiful way to learn about culture!

Congrats to these two teams for winning the 2nd annual 7th grade Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Jeopardy!
