El Día de los Muertos Altar at School
Today, we had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in Hispanic culture by creating a Día de los Muertos altar at our school. Following tradition, we placed a candle, a glass of water, and a piece of bread — dedicated to those who passed tragically or without a final meal.
This experience allowed us to learn, connect, and appreciate a tradition filled with love, reflection, and respect for those who came before us.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring this altar to life — your time, creativity, and collaboration made this a meaningful cultural celebration for our school community.
Que su memoria y nuestras tradiciones sigan vivas siempre.

Today is School Custodian Appreciation Day! Let's give a big shout-out to the amazing people who keep our school in pristine shape.
Our custodians work so hard every day —early mornings, late nights, and everything in between— to make sure our classrooms and hallways are clean, safe, and welcoming. We couldn’t do what we do each day without them! Ramo, Jose, Carmen, and Drago - thank you all for your dedication to our school; it wouldn't shine without you!

Last week, our 4th grade students had a special visit from veterans of our local VFW who shared their knowledge and led a flag demonstration and training. Students learned about the meaning behind our flag, how to handle it with respect, and the importance of honoring traditions. Our 4th-grade students have the responsibility and honor of raising our American and South Dakota flags each day at school.
We are so grateful to our veterans for taking the time to teach and inspire our students!

Our Fun Run was a HUGE success! Not only did we pass our $40,000 goal, but our students had a blast—rain or shine! Thank you to our amazing staff, interns (for bringing Liberty the Lobo to life ), and especially Mrs. Conrad for all her hard work.
We kept the celebration going with a schoolwide assembly where Sra. Toscano's K01, our top fundraising class, earned a popcorn party and extra recess! They raised $5356.30 for our school!
Congratulations to our top three student fundraisers — 1st place- Will Van Den Mark, 2nd place- Ellie Gotham, and 3rd place-Kahalil Tieszen— who each received Amazon gift cards for their amazing efforts.
What an incredible team effort—thank you to our families, staff, and community for making it all possible!

Libros y Lattes = Success! ☕📚
Last week, our amazing staff gathered in the Library for a cozy afternoon of books, beverages, and great conversation.
We showcased the fantastic new collection of books brought back from Guadalajara, Mexico — now part of our Library! Teachers and staff enjoyed sipping lattes, snacking, and browsing through fresh reads to spark curiosity for their classrooms.
A huge thank you to Jennifer Egstad and Audra Klum for organizing this brew-tiful event! Your effort and creativity made it such a special time for our staff.
