Celebrating our amazing South Side teachers, Mindy Dyson and Tiffany Davis, for being recognized as Unit 4 Teachers of the Week! 💙✨

Foam, smiles, and end-of-year fun at South Side! 🎉 Mr. Wenzel brought the excitement today with a foam party surprise, and it may have officially been the BEST day ever. We’re soaking up every minute of these final days together!

We are excitedly planning for our Field Day on May 21st from 1:30–3:10pm. It’s an afternoon of outdoor fun, games, and treats for students, to celebrate the end of the school year! We’ll have Kona Ice with games, a scavenger hunt and field games. But we need volunteers to make it a great event for the students! The three areas we need help with are:

North grass field: Help with field game stations.

Front of school: Help with yard games and assist kids if needed with Kona Ice orders.

Playground: Scavenger hunt!

It will be a fun day - sign-up now to be part of the action! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C4EACA82DAAFA7-63941765-field #/

Our hearts (and snack tables!) are so full 💛

A huge THANK YOU to our incredible Southside families for spoiling our teachers and staff this week! From sweet treats to savory bites, every detail was so thoughtful and appreciated.

We are so grateful for a community that shows up with such generosity and love — our teachers felt it in every single bite 🍎✨

Happy Teacher Appreciation week to our amazing South Side teachers! 💫

Congratulations, Anna!
