On behalf of the staff at Sioux Valley, we wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving! We have so much to be grateful for with our tremendous students, staff, and our caring community.

We are thankful! Thank you to students and families for making daily attendance a priority. The habit of attendance will help students do well in the classroom and eventually in a job. Let's continue to work together to help all kids attend today, so they can achieve tomorrow.

This Thankful Thursday shout out goes to Mr. Fast, our high school social studies teacher. Mr. Fast is an outstanding educator that builds connections with the students. Students are challenged and cared for in his classes, and he does it all with a smile and a quick laugh. Mr. Fast helps students see the connection of the content to their daily lives. A great example of this is the analysis he and his geography students do each year to predict the state championship winners each year in football, which made the news last week! Mr. Fast is also the worthy recipient of the Class 11B Assistant Football Coach of the Year award. Mr. Fast, thank you for all you do for our school! https://www.keloland.com/keloland-com-original/sioux-valley-geography-class-analyzes-high-school-football-towns-picks-state-championship-winners/?fbclid=IwAR1pfAphdRt3beerzeO8LMACeaTbtyjZEjk-PRYf7r4TU9A2CMgFHrsq6Vg
