It is that time of year again to partner with the Sioux Empire United Way campaign in their Coins for Kids collection.
Each fall, elementary students get a chance to donate coins to help other kids in their towns. This money stays in our local area to support our students and families in the community in a variety of ways.
Coin Canisters must be returned by Wednesday, November 9. You can bring the coins at any time; full or not full. Let's see if we can get all the canisters returned on time and with coins to share with our community.
Thank you for supporting our Sioux Empire United Way campaign. Let's see what our Eagles can do for their community!!
Skills of the Week!
This week, we are learning the skill of listening!
WHY DO WE NEED TO LISTEN?
1. You are more likely to be clear on expectations and directions and get them right the first time.
2. Shows others you are paying attention.
3. You know what is going on.
4. It is the polite thing to do when others are speaking.
5. Shows respect for others.
Remember to show Eagle Way, Everyday!

Hello SBA families!
This week, we have started the Eagle Way tickets! We have retired our Success Matters slips for a new and improved way for our students showing the Eagle Way!!
Our SBA goal for our new tickets in October is 500!
If students accomplish this goal, then EVERY kid will receive a treat! Each Monday of October, 10 names will be drawn for a chance to get their name and picture in the lunchroom, as well as a Get n Go gift card!
More tickets you earn more prizes you could receive!
Eagle Way All Day, Every Day
Excuse us while we brag for a minute… Our Superintendent is pretty talented! Dr. Jane Stavem is an accomplished pianist, vocalist, trumpet player, French horn player, percussionist, xylophone player… oh, and she also plays harmonica! 😉 These talents, along with her deep love for all things Fine Arts, earned her the honor of Parade Marshal for Festival of Bands 2022! We are proud to be lead by someone who values the role extracurriculars play in “preparing each student to succeed in a changing world!”
Updated breakfast and lunch pricing, how to re-apply for free and reduced meals, who gets low fund balance notifications, and an easy and delicious snack mix recipe to try at home. It's all in the October edition of the "What's the Scoop" newsletter from our Child Nutrition Services!

We are very excited to have all of our students back and ready to learn!
We are working on reinforcing the EAGLE WAY ( Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and always Be Kind.) and the social skill of "accepting no".
