After reading "Stuck" by Oliver Jeffers, our kindergarteners went on a scavenger hunt to find all the "stuck" items Floyd threw into the tree. Thankfully, we didn't have to throw a whale or a fire engine up there to get them back! Kindergarten loved this fun read aloud.
South O'Brien is hiring a 9-12 Science Teacher and we're offering a signing bonus!

Our preschool playground is officially open! 🎉 Our preschoolers have already had a great time enjoying the new swings, and it’s been so fun to see their excitement.
The first-grade students have been mastering the art of telling time to the hour and half-hour. To reinforce these skills, the class participated in a telling time matching game, turning their hard work into an engaging, hands-on activity.
Message from the South O'Brien Athletic Boosters:
Thanks to everyone who signed up to volunteer in the concession stand at our Track Meets this Spring. If you are scheduled for a time that does not work for you, it is your responsibility to find a replacement and arrange a trade with another parent.
Thank you so much for your continued support! The money raised through concessions goes directly to benefit our student-athletes—helping to fund uniforms, equipment, and many other needs.
Let's make it a great season!

🍕 WE HAVE OUR CHAMPIONS! 🐾
The brackets have been busted, the wildcards have been played, and the dust has finally settled on this year’s March Mammal Madness! A huge congratulations to our 5th and 6th-grade wildlife experts who rose to the top of the food chain. To celebrate their incredible predicting skills (and their impressive animal kingdom knowledge), our top two winners from each class earned an exclusive Pizza Party with Mrs. Fuller! We are so proud of all our students for engaging with science, ecology, and a little bit of competitive spirit in such a fun way.
Congratulations to our Winners: 🏆 5th Grade: Cooper Dorcey, Teagan Courtney, Aeiden Klaassen, and Xoey Puterbaugh 🏆 6th Grade: Ali Kruse, Emmett Nieuwenhaus, Emily Swanson, and Trinity Matsiko
Way to go, everyone! Who’s already scouting next year’s contenders? 🐺🐻🐯
