Last week was SDHSAA Fall Officials Appreciation Week. Each year, these
officials attend clinics, region meetings, complete rules meetings and take exams in preparation for the sports season. During the season, these dedicated men and women take time away from their personal schedules and families to provide opportunities for the thousands of student-athletes that participate in SDHSAA activities. We want to thank all officials for your continued dedication to high school sports!

This is where the livestream will be found. It won't pop up until 15 minutes or so before the game.

Second, third and fourth graders along with Ms Heffner and Ms Uttecht had an exciting recess at the end of the day. A little sprinkle turned into a downpour! Second graders were a little excited when they came in and some wanted to show everyone they got wet!

Monday, the kindergarten class was lucky to have one of their classmate’s mom’s be their “Mystery Reader!” They also did observations on worms for their nonliving vs living unit in science.
