Mrs. Bezdichek is deserving of this thankful Thursday shoutout because as our Title I Elementary teacher, she is the drive behind our Response to Intervention (RTI). Mrs. B shares her passion of how kids learn best with everyone that is involved with the learning process: teachers, teacher assistants, parents, and students. She provides resources, training, and input to all. She is constantly researching and taking classes to learn all that she can learn. She serves on our ELA Curriculum Team, the Building Leadership Team and our Teacher-Assisting Teachers (TAT) Team. We are truly thankful for all that we know and see Mrs. Bezdichek doing every day.

Sioux Valley hosts Deuel in the first round of the Playoffs at 7:00 pm on Thursday.

This #ThankfulThursday shout out goes out to Ms. O'Connell. She was the latest recipient of our monthly Spark Plug Award that honors staff for being a "spark" of joy and a champion for kids. Here is the wonderful nomination for Ms. O'Connell written by last month's recipient, Mrs. Doyscher: "Although there are many people deserving of this award, it’s nice to recognize a new teacher doing a great job. Ms. O’Connell is deserving of the Spark Plug award because she teaches with a positive and upbeat attitude. She is kind, firm, and consistent in her approach. Ms. O'Connell is understanding of the various needs within her classroom and passionate about her content. She provides a variety of learning opportunities for kids to get excited about science and technology." Ms. O'Connell, thank you for all you've done for our school and students!
