PLAYGROUND BEFORE SCHOOL
Just a reminder, our playground will not be open until 8:30 a.m. If your child is a walker, please have them wait on the outside of the closed gates until our supervisors come to open them. If they ride their bike to school, please ask them to wait by the bike rack until the playground is open. Students should not arrive before 8:30 a.m. since they will not be supervised.

READ-A-THON
We have just a few days left for the read-a-thon! In our last five days of the read-a-thon we are competing among grade levels to see which grade level can bring in the most donations. The winning grade levels will win a prize. The money raised will help support our wonderful staff here at South Elementary. Help us support events like the all school field trip, the awesome Glow-tacular dance, Donuts in December, Muffins in May, Conference dinner for teachers, 5th grade flyup, Family Game Night, resources for teachers such as Peardeck, and more.
