Southside's Veteran's Day Morning Meeting
Dear Southside Families,
Veteran’s Day is Sunday, November 11th. Southside Elementary School knows/recognizes the importance of teaching our students why this day has been dedicated to honor veterans and active duty military personnel who have been and continue to be Smart, Strong, and Selfless in their service to our country. At our Monday Morning Meeting on November 12th, we will spend time teaching students the meaning of the Pledge of Allegiance so they have a clear understanding of why we say the Pledge at school each day. We invite service members to be present for the upcoming Monday Morning Meeting, on November 12th from 7:45 - 8:15, as we continue to help our students recognize and appreciate examples of Smart, Strong, and Selfless in the world that we live.
Have a great weekend!
Shannon Pfaff

Smart, Strong and Selfless Squads are here!
Happy Fall to Everyone! I hope you had a restful and wonderful fall break! When students returned last week from the break, we held an exciting Monday Morning Meeting. During that time together, Southside’s new squad system was revealed to the school community and students discovered which squad they are part of. The Southside squads are: Smart Squad, Strong Squad, and Selfless Squad. Squads are like a family within the school community and each classroom and every staff member is part of a squad. The squads work together to earn “tiger tokens” by being smart, strong, and selfless. Each week, tiger tokens are tallied and the squad that has earned the most tiger tokens is honored by having their squad banner raised in our school building. Be sure to ask your child which squad they represent and when you are visiting Southside, check out the squad banners! Together, we are Smart, Strong, and Selfless!
