The kindergarten and second grade classes got a chance to get a brain break through some Drumfit ball drumming songs led by Miss Leloux! They had lots of fun and got some extra exercise in! The Drumfit equipment was donated by sponsors through grants from the Sioux Falls Public School Education Foundation.
Happy Veterans Day! Thank you to all of our former and current school volunteers who have served or are currently serving! We appreciate your support and bravery! Thank you for all you do! All City students made cards during Family time which were dropped off at the VA Hospital today!
November 10th marked the final day for our two beloved student teachers in second and third grade! Each student teacher had a 12 week placement here at All City and now will graduate soon. They will be missed dearly by students and staff!
Molly Kelly was placed with Mrs. Rausis in second grade. Molly will graduate from Augustana University in December. She is originally from Sioux Falls and is excited to find an elementary teaching job in the area. She did an amazing job and will be missed!
Amy Ptak was mentored by Miss Leloux in third grade. Amy will also graduate with a double major in December from Northern State University. She is originally from Marion, SD and plans to pursue a teaching career as either a special education teacher or elementary teacher in North Carolina! Amy is a natural in the classroom and her kind heart will be missed!
We wish both of our student teachers the best of luck in their future teaching careers! They were both rockstars who built strong rapport/relationships with students, staff, and families! They will be missed dearly! Thanks for all of your help ladies! Good luck! Be sure to come back and visit!
Here are the Soaring Eagles for this week! Way to go! Thanks for being responsible, respectful, and safe! You rock! Keep being good leaders!
Big announcement!! Our All City Musical this year will be….Beauty and the Beast, Jr.!!! How awesome! The kids all found out together at the end of the day and they were so excited!! The musical will be on March 23 so mark your calendars!
Every Friday, the ACE kindergarteners and third graders read with their “buddy”! Siblings are always paired up which is super fun! It is good practice for all kids to read out loud and share in the love of reading! Look how cute they are!
Student Council elections were held on Monday! The polling booths were full with a great turnout! Kindergarten got to vote on their favorite food while the first through flfth grade voted on the Student Council reps they wanted to represent for their class. Each class voted for two reps. Thank you to Rob Hollan for organizing the election and running our Student Council!
Our November swimming experience at Embe was tons of fun! Swimming is always such a big highlight event for all of the kids each month! The 2nd and 3rd graders got a special surprise (since it was the student teacher’s last swimming event) by having Miss Leloux, Miss Ptak, and Miss Kelly joining them in a swim! By the looks of it, it seems the teachers were just as excited as the students were! We are so thankful we get the opportunity to swim for extra exercise each month!
