The challenge is on for the MS/HS classes! As we push toward the end of the first semester, we've added some challenges for the students to meet. Between dress-up days and following Pirate expectations, they will earn points for their class! Who will be the winner?!
The All-State Chorus will be performing tonight! You can tune in on SDPB or their YouTube channel to watch. The performance will be 7 pm MT

Congratulations 🏴☠️
The 2nd graders did an AMAZING job bringing their favorite books to life through their creative pumpkin decorating! We loved seeing each of their imaginations, creativity and love of reading shine.
The elementary students were invited to vote for their favorite pumpkin, and after much anticipation the votes declared that The Grinch "stole" the victory!
Thank you to our students and families for making this such a fun celebration of reading! Keep the magic of books alive at home by reading together and sharing stories!
Costume parade and Halloween stations!
Have a Happy Halloween 🎃
