Ridge View Middle School 7th graders visited the SC Elementary this morning to share their historical fiction writing following their first reading module of the year!




Thank you to the Ida County Sheriff's Office for talking to our lower elementary students this morning in Holstein.



The GH Upper Elementary students enjoyed an assembly to celebrate Red Ribbon Week with Sheriff Harriman, Deputy Kinnaman, and Ghazi, the narcotics dog. Mr. Tesch was a fan favorite when he stepped up to demonstrate how the drug dog would apprehend a person. The students made a promise to Sheriff Harriman to make good choices, learn from choices they make that are not so good, and to be drug free.




Schaller-Crestland Elementary Book Fair. Nov. 4-6th

In observance of Red Ribbon Week's theme, "Life is a Puzzle, Solve it Drug Free", the middle school students were all given a cryptogram puzzle to decipher. The first five winners were awarded an ala carte certificate. Winners were Maddie, Viv, Harper, Evangeline & Levi.
On Friday, Oct. 24th, the GH 4th graders performed their poetry slam today for the 5th graders! They shared poetry that they wrote and poetry about Halloween. They did a great job and we are so proud of them!





SC Elementary 2025 PBIS Fall Festival. After meeting our first PBIS goal, we celebrated with games, a hayrack ride, painting, a petting zoo, and lots of fun! Congratulations K-5 for making your first PBIS goal of the year! Thank you to all our parent donations and volunteers to make this event such a success for the kids!

Students from Miss Dausel's Environmental Science class got the opportunity to visit Moorehead Park on Wednesday, October 22. The students were able to pick up litter out of the pond and off the shores using canoes & kayaks, pet & hold the snakes & turtles in the conservation center, and learn more about invasive species by immersing themselves in the park and cutting out the invasive bush honeysuckle plants. Thank you to Ida County Naturalist Danielle Bennett for hosting us!
