Last week seven FFA members had an EXCELLENT trip to Indianapolis for the National FFA Convention, where over 68,000 FFA members, advisors and guests gathered this year!! We made new friends with neighboring FFA chapters and met others from all over the country, talked with college and career experts, attended sessions, listened to incredible keynote speakers, and learned a lot of information about FFA as new members.
While traveling, we took some time to learn more about Ag and toured the John Deere Museum in Waterloo, IA, Ozark Fish Farms, and the Indianapolis Zoo.
Of course we took some time to have fun and tried lots of new local restaurants, did some shopping, made a Starbucks run, went all the way to the top of the Soldiers and Sailors monument, explored downtown Indy, went to a Lauren Alaina and Jimmie Allen concert, and even stopped at the World’s Largest Truck Stop.
Such a great trip for some awesome FFA members!
Congratulations on a great win 34-7
Good Afternoon,
We are excited to announce that we are starting a Tutoring Program that utilizes our National Honor Society students. We have several National Honor Society students that have volunteered to tutor students in need in grades 6-12. If you think your child could benefit from having a tutor in one or more classes, please contact Mr. Knippling (Cole.Knippling@k12.sd.us). He will work to set up a time before, during, or after school that works for both your child and the NHS tutor to meet on a weekly basis. We are excited to see if this can develop into a big part of our school success! Thanks and have a great day!
4th Grade has been talking more about symmetry in art, and today took it further with radial symmetry in nature. The students took a walk to the park to work on art with found natural objects. They also talked about what an installation in art is, and how nature influneces our art. We worked on our photography skills with our phones.
