This #ThankfulThursday shout out goes to Mrs. Doyscher, our SVMS special education teacher. Mrs. Doyscher was the first recipient of our monthly Spark Plug award for a staff member that is a "spark" of joy and a champion for students. Thank you for all you do for our students!

The SV staff had the privilege of hearing from Florence Superintendent Mitch Reed about the little things in life that make all the difference. (Hint-It's the people!) Thank you for inspiring our staff about true power that comes from caring for and caring about others.

Sept 2nd- MS Cross Country at Brookings has been cancelled today due to the weather. JV Boys Golf at Brookings has been postponed today due to the weather. Make up date TBA.

Research tells us that missing just two days of school per month can negatively impact student achievement. Last year, the number of South Dakota students missing 30 or more days of school doubled. The start of a new school year is a great time to remind ourselves about the importance of consistent school attendance. Thank you in advance for your partnership with good attendance!
