Southfield School

Everyone was doing the Eagle Rumble today at the cheer clinic performance that wrapped up the first week of summer camp! 🦅

More pancakes! But this time, it's the real thing.

Check out these little chefs in action. Bon appetit!

Pancakes, Pancakes! Today during Eric Carle week, rising PS4 campers made pretend "pancakes" while learning sequencing. Thursday they will make the real thing from scratch to eat!

Reunited and it feels so good!

Southfield Summer Camp is underway with Eric Carle week, Cheer Clinic, and Game Changers week.

We know school is out for the summer, but we thought you may want to see all the wonderful Teacher Features that have taken place over the past few weeks. We love how our Southfield faculty and families go above and beyond for our students!

-Breakfast with Mrs. Susie and the chickens
-Storytime and a snack with Mrs. Abby and Mrs. Samantha
-Music lessons and ice cream with Mrs. Davis
-Teacher for a day with Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Bohanan
-Slime party with Mrs. Gauthier
(...to name a few!)

Yesterday, Mrs. Thelen's sixth-graders enjoyed dishes from around the globe as a culmination of their world geography class. Looks delicious!

Fifth-graders graduated from the D.A.R.E. program today and present to speak at their graduation was Agent Justin Dunn.

Dating back to 1983, D.A.R.E. is a "police officer-led series of classroom lessons that teaches children from kindergarten through 12th grade how to resist peer pressure and live productive drug and violence-free lives."

Congrats, 5th grade!

The Stanberry Family and the Green Club partnered together to bring a new water refill station to the Middle School this year. The students have saved 1335 water bottles from filling our landfills! Pictured are 7th-graders, Amelia Hale and Mathis Stanberry.

When it comes to creating unique opportunities for learning, Southfield Preschool teachers are the best! Here is Miss Susie's P3 Discovery class learning about great artists. Can you guess who this artist is?

(The song the children learn in class is a hint: "Famous ______, painted the chapel high and low.") 👨‍🎨

Southfield School is lucky to have the guidance of Cross Country Coach Frank Trammel, who was recently (and deservingly) awarded the Tom Nolan Distinguished Coach Award by the Louisiana Track and Field Coaches Association. This award recognizes a coach who "is or has made a difference in the lives of the student-athletes under his/her tutelage." In addition, the coach must embody the words many of Coach Tom Nolan's peers once used to describe him, which include “passion," "dignity," "integrity,” and "faithful," to name a few. Congratulations, Coach Trammel!

The sixth-graders in Mrs. Thelen's World Geography classes have been up to something exciting and creative. Over the past five weeks, students have researched and put together biography scrapbooks of notable and/or famous people with entries of their choice, including poems, obituaries, memories, diary entries, etc. Today they took turns passing them around the room for classmates to read and comment on!

At this morning's Author's Tea, Mrs. Martinez's first-graders took their turn reading their self-authored and illustrated books to parents in the theater. But -- there was a plot twist. 😏 Instead of tea, they celebrated with sherbet punch and a fancy toast!

Mrs. Singleton's first-graders were first up for Author's Tea this morning. Each student reads their own written and illustrated book to parents in the audience, then the class celebrates with a special tea party. Tomorrow Mrs. Martinez's class will take their turn!

Today we inducted 20 new members from 6th, 7th, and 8th grades into the National Junior Honor Society. Way to go, Eagles! 🦅

Yesterday was our last regular Flag Ceremony for the 2020-21 school year. We honored several students, including Youth Art Month winners, Louisiana Film Prize Jr. winners, May and summer birthdays, rising 5th-grade cheerleaders, and a bittersweet final recognition to our very own Pi Queen, Adriana Martin.

In kindergarten, Martin set a goal for herself to memorize 10,000 digits before she graduated from Southfield -- and she did it! Congratulations to Martin and all the other Pi Day Winners:

Maypole is a treasured Southfield tradition for PS4 classes, but since last year was cut short (thanks to COVID), first up for Maypole this year was Mrs. Jackson's Kindergarten class. These boys and girls put on a beautiful performance this morning! 💐

The $25 wine pull tickets include a chance to win one of two special bottles with an attached $500 jewelry gift card, or, a rare bottle of Napa Valley cabernet valued at over $200.

The "experience" ends with an optional takeout meal from our amazing ladies in the Southfield Cafe (and as you all know, their food is 🔥!)
