All-City Elementary School -

Students enjoyed listening to ACE alum, JT Rock, read to them on Monday! He shared his experiences from college and playing basketball for the University of New Mexico Lobos! They loved asking him questions and mostly, "How tall are you?" The answer 7'1"! Thank you for being a good role model to our students and taking time to come in and read! Good luck on the remainder of your season!

Third graders enjoyed singing songs to the residents at Dow Rummel! They made holiday decor to put on their doors and then played tic tac toe, word searches, and crosswords together. Thanks to the parents for driving and helping!

4th and 5th graders volunteered in our community though Kids Care. There are so many valuable lessons learned by volunteering and helping others. Thanks to our parents for driving and helping out!

Great work, High Flyers! Way to be respectful, responsible, and safe!

Earlier this month we went swimming and had lots of fun!

Last weekend families had a great time at the Snowflake Shuffle! Thanks to Shelley Gaddis for organizing and for all families who had booths. Fun memories!

The 4th and 5th graders volunteered at different businesses for Kids Care last month! Thanks for serving our community!

It's officially Musical season! I hope everyone can join us for an amazing show this spring! The kids are super excited to start learning their parts and songs so they can perform for you. Our two performances will be on March 19th at Ben Reifel Middle School. Here's the reveal video we showed the kids this afternoon to see what we will be performing! ~Message from our Musical Director, Jake DeGroot https://youtu.be/0sEALPTOswU

Our students love using the technology we have received over the years through grants from the Sioux Falls Public Schools Education Foundation during Family time. They coded robots, made circuit, laser, and domino mazes. So fun!

Reminder, there is no school Wednesday through Friday this week due to Thanksgiving break! Enjoy the time off with family and friends!

Third graders earned a "10 Minute Party" for good behaviors. They choose to play the game, Ameba! They loved this fun, brain break activity! Nice work!
