Thank you so much for meeting with us last week.  You have wonderful children, and we think you are pretty great parents as well. We have almost reached the end of 1st term.  Wow!!    All missing work is due Wednesday, October 13th in order to earn Worker’s Holiday on Wednesday, October 20th. Please go to PowerSchool and check your child’s grades.  Worker’s Holiday will be on Wednesday, Oct. 20th.  We will have a Read-A-Thon in the afternoon.  Students may wear PJ’s, if they would like and bring a blanket or pillow, a few healthy snacks (NO drinks), and of course a book or books to READ.  Students not earning the activity will work in another room to complete missing assignments..

     You are invited to come have a BLAST with us as we explode our volcanoes on Thurs., at 2:30 (Oct. 14) on the south playground.  Please do NOT park in the bus loading zone. You may  park on 500 S. behind the playground, or in the parking lot.  Exploded volcanoes may not come back to the school, so students need to take them home or take them around to the dumpster at the north end of the school. There was a letter sent home explaining how students can create their volcano.

We are excited that the DARE program is going well here at South. Our students are enjoying Officer Uresk. *Just for your information, Students will be writing a DARE essay in November, which will be required in order to graduate from  DARE. We will let you know in the next newsletter when the DARE graduation will be. 

         The fifth grade Maturation Program will not be held in person this year, due to Covid, but if you have requested a packet and the link to the video to help you with teaching this at home, you will receive these items towards the end of October.

Remember that we do not have school Fri., Oct., 22nd and Mon., Oct. 25. Please feel welcome to email, call, or come in with your concerns.  

                                     Thank you,

          Mrs. Little, Mrs. Orton & Mrs. Sherratt
