We offer a very sincere THANK YOU to our very own second grader Beckham Houdeshell and to our local Dollar General store for their "toy drive" boxes. Thanks to the generosity of these people and our local communities, we were able to provide Christmas toys to over 50 children.
The 6th grade band played Christmas carols for our elementary students on Friday morning. This is a favorite tradition for many of our students and staff members. Great work 6th grade band!! Thank you for sharing your musical talents with our elementary students.

Karina Taylor showed KINDNESS to friends. She had the ball & a chance to get a runner out in recess kickball. Instead, she let him get to base. Her teammates said, Karina, you should have gotten him out. She replied, "He always gets out, I wanted him to run the bases this time.”

Congratulations to our two State Oral Interpretation Superior Winners, Abby VandenBerge and Leah DeHaan at the 2019 State OI Competition this last weekend in Yankton. The team of Abby and Leah also won the Team Excellence Award. They are pictured with their coach, Mrs. Teresa Nelson.
The Platte-Geddes JH and HS students and staff competed in a penny war collecting close to $500. The money collected allowed the students to send 21 boxes full of christmas cards and goodies to a SD National Guard Unit stationed overseas, to thank them for their service.
Mrs. Mills nominated Rylan Burket for the GNC for showing kindness in the STEAM room. Rylan volunteered to wash the paint brushes and pallets for Mrs. Mills so she could help the other students with their projects. Thanks for modeling service to others and kindness, Rylan!
Berklee Veurink received the GNC for always being willing to help her friends, even if it means stopping an activity that she herself enjoys, according to her teacher, Mrs. Sandy DuFrain. Thanks for modeling kindness and service to others, Berklee.
5th Grade Science Fair
The 5th graders are busy working on their science fair projects. You are invited to attend their annual science fair which will be held on Friday, December 20, 2019 in the PG Elementary Multi Purpose Room from 1:00-2:00.
We have some "Elfing" going on at Platte Geddes Elementary. Check out the photos of Mrs. DuFrain's second grade class enjoying the "Elf Ornaments" they were given by Mrs. Frandsen's second grade class. Each child decorated and personalized their ornament.
Shay Petersen & Jameson Leader were nominated for the GNC by our custodian, Mike Anderson. Mike had a lot of shoveling to do around the school building. After school on Monday, Jameson & Shay each grabbed a shovel and helped Mike clear snow from our sidewalks for over an hour.
