Our Cougars Baseball team is headed to the Class M State Championship against Goreville today! We cheered them all the way to the bus! Go Cougars!

Pre-K learned all about Fire Safety on Monday with Firefighters’ Parke and Bryce! We learned how to Get Low and Go! And how to check for safe exits during a fire. Pre-K even got to climb into the fire engine, and hear the sirens! Thanks for all you do SVFD! 🧑‍🚒🚨🚒

October is Principal's Appreciation Month. During National Principals Month, we honor the architects of strong school communities—our principals! They inspire, guide, and empower the next generation. Let’s give them the recognition they deserve! #ThankAPrincipal #LegacyBuilders2024 https://ilprincipals.org/principal-appreciation/

Best of Luck to our Baseball and Softball teams at STATE this weekend! 💚🐾

September Board Brief from Dr. Castelli

Just a reminder to get those donations in for our VIRTUAL auction taking place at the end of this month!

On Monday Mother Goose visited Pre-K for their Nursery Rhyme Party! Each student took turns reciting their own nursery rhyme from memory - earning themselves a badge into the Mother Goose Club! Then Mother Goose led the class outdoors to play silly games! There was the Itsy Bitsy Spider cookie decorating, Humpty Dumpty Egg Race and Egg Toss, a Jack Be Nimble jumping contest, Little Miss Muffet Spider Chase, a hunt for Little Bo Peep’s sheep and the Jack and Jill Water Bucket races! When we came inside, Mother Goose had left us some muffins from the Muffin Man, and cheese cubes from the Hickory Dickory Doc mice! 👒🪿📖🪶
