FFA Week Dress Up Days:
We're SO proud of our talented students who represented our school at the live art contest, "Art Wars"! They were given a prompt and challenged to create an original artwork AND write an artist statement in just 1 hour and 45 minutes! Talk about pressure!
Our students rose to the occasion, showcasing their creativity and skill under intense time constraints. They gained an awesome new experience and truly appreciated the valuable feedback from the judges. 🙌
We're thrilled to see their passion and dedication to art shine! Huge congratulations to all our participants!
We opened the gates and got out our Tempo Ponies today! 1st grade galloped, trotted, and sauntered to the tempo of the songs today in music. Some pretty cool cowboy and cowgirls in this group. #SBSings
A little cold weather did not stop these Second Grade Super Spellers! Nice work!

Our 8th to 12th grade Art students had a blast creating these vibrant tie-dye shirts! Not only did they design the tie-dye patterns, but they also screen-printed their own unique designs on top. Check out the incredible results here: https://sites.google.com/view/mrstassler/8th-tie-dye
Important Note: Students were responsible for rinsing their own shirts. To prevent any potential color bleeding, we strongly advise parents to wash these shirts separately for the first wash. This will help protect other clothing from any accidental staining.

Heart Breakers! 3rd graders are studying Forces with their pushes and pulls. They made Valentine Poppers that demonstrated how a rubber band will act as a push and a pull in the same activity. If you look close, you can see hearts flying through the air.

The MS Acalympics Contest at Lyman Middle School, scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 19 has been postponed to March 5.
Karmen Merrill, a 7th Grade student at Sully Buttes, is the first ever ABO string student to be selected to perform as a member of the Middle School All State Orchestra in Mitchell this weekend, February 21st through the 22nd.
The South Dakota Music Education Association presents the event, and features Dr. Peter Foillard as conductor. The public is invited to attend the Grand Finale concert in the Mitchell Performing Arts Center at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 22. There is a suggested donation of $5 per person to attend the concert.
From 185 auditions, 86 string players in grades six through eight from across the state make up this year's orchestra. Karmen spent hours in lessons with her viola instructor, Mrs. Moriah Gross preparing a 3-octave major scale and 2-octave melodic minor scale. In addition to performing the scales, Karmen was required to perform an Etude as well. Karmen was chosen after mastering the rigorous tryout material.
Recently, Karmen received additional coaching from another teacher, Ms. Natalie Sterba of Sioux Falls. By attending virtual appointments with Ms. Sterba, Mrs. Gross and Karmen were able to prepare the exciting repertoire for her upcoming performance. Music by Bach, Rossini, The Beatles and more will be worked on by the handpicked pupils during the rehearsals scheduled. Mrs. Erica Paxton assisted in the encouragement of numerous focused and quality practice efforts of all the pieces assigned.
When Karmen isn't honing her viola skills with discipline and precision, she enjoys playing volleyball, reading Shakespeare and spending time with family. She is also an accomplished pianist and flautist. Karmen is the daughter of Maghan Hiller Merrill and Brian Merrill.
Due to the Extreme Cold Warning that is in effect (as well as significant illness trends), the ABO School District will not have school on Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2025. There will be NO Enrichment Learning. There will also be no basketball at Sunshine Bible.
