Tomorrow- 5/7- is SGJH STUCO Fun Day! If your student said they were bringing their own lunch, please make sure they bring one! Your student may bring their water bottle and money for the arcade. If we have time for the arcade, they may use the money. If we don’t have time to play arcade games, they will bring the money back. There will be NO CELL PHONES on this trip… this will be a school day in a different setting. They will need to leave their cell phones in their lockers at school and may get them before being dismissed for the day.
Due to the cold temperatures, there will be no junior high or high school track practice today!

When Body Venture came to town a few weeks ago, Mr. Johnathan with KSDE brought two bike helmets to give away to students. Each teacher chose one student from their class who showed excellent behavior and engagement during the exhibit. The student was entered into a drawing to win one of the bike helmets. We had a winner from each school! Rio Unruh from Copeland and Zayley Goossen from Montezuma. Congratulations, kids!
