Today, SFMS celebrated halftime of our ReadBowl Competition with the Cougar and SFMS Cheerleaders. Our top reading class was 7th Grade Literature Class 2. They read an average of 373 minutes per student! Our top readers in each grade level this week were Lucille Kleiss, Caleena Scott, Lilly Pratt, Theo Johnson, and Bella Sorenson. Please keep encouraging your children to read over the weekend! Quarter 2 reading logs are due on Monday.
Mr. Gates' 4th grade class and Mr. Skurdal's 2nd grade class learned together using Sphero Indi. Sphero Indi is a small, programmable robot designed to teach young children the basics of coding and computational thinking. Indi is an interactive way to introduce children to STEM principles while fostering creativity, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
🚌🚌 We're thrilled to announce the arrival of two new school buses purchased in July with a Federal Grant offsetting $50,000 from the total cost by the District! 🚌🚌 These buses are equipped with seatbelts, keeping our students safer on every ride.
Iowa law now requires seatbelt use on all school buses built after 2020. Our district policy aligns with this, prioritizing student safety.
Seatbelt use is now required by Board Policy for any School Bus where seatbelts are equipped. This currently impacts the Bear Route (Mr. Schmitz) and the Rooster Route (Mr. Suckow), with Mrs. Stange's route following shortly! Students will review their use and function with the Driver. Students who refuse to use them, can be subject to disciplinary actions per Board Policy.
