Attention class of 2038! Kindergarten Round-Up is around the bend!! Mark your calendars for March 13, 2025 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Platte, starting at 8:30am. Please call 605-337-2468 to schedule a time!


William Norden, Josie VanZee, Ainsley Gustad, Aubrey Warejcka, Eden Kramp, and Ivy Samuelson completed the 100-Day Homework Challenge by completing all of their homework for 100 days and celebrated with donuts this morning, eating pizza and going bowling 🎳! Congratulations!


Marlee VanZee was awarded with a Good News Call! A student shared that when they got to school in the morning they ran over to the swings only to find that the swings were already taken. Marlee noticed this student, and offered her swing up. Even though the other student said it's was ok, Marlee insisted the student take her swing because she knew how much she enjoys swinging. Thank you, Marlee, for noticing and showing kindness to others!


Dear Parents/Guardians,
To help reduce daily food waste, we will be implementing a two-week trial where students who want seconds will be offered Uncrustables. This trial will begin on Monday, February 3. Exceptions will be made for students with allergies.
Thank you for your understanding and support!

Happy 100th Day of School!

Rigley Nachtigal made a Good News Call today! He showed extra kindness and care when he gave up his Uncrustable at lunch so another student could have it because there wasn't any left.
