Members of the Teutopolis Home Extension, Ruth Drees and Ruth Abell, delivered bookmarks to our library yesterday. Thank you so much for encouraging us to read! (You may have noticed that our fourth graders look a little different in this picture. It was "Crazy Hair Day" as part of Red Ribbon Week.)

“Teachers Lead the Way to Drug-Free Days!”

We had lots of extra staff members in the building to help us kick off Red Ribbon Week! Enjoy their smiling faces, and remember to always pledge to live a drug-free life!

(More “staff members” were added!! Check them out too!)

Do YOU know how hard it is to pass on the sentence, “A purple penguin wearing tap shoes accidentally ordered 47 pizzas for a family of confused squirrels.” through a line of ten of your friends?! Our junior high students do!

During a recent end of first quarter celebration, they played a game of telephone, and the results somehow included taxes, flamingoes, and a turtle! What was also impressive was that all four people to first pass on the sentence were still able to recite it from memory nearly ten minutes later!! The morning also included donuts, YooHoo, a game of Heads or Tails, volleyball, and basketball.

Because that apparently wasn’t enough entertainment, Turtle, the pet rabbit, also managed to hide under the bleachers. (He may not be invited next time!)

☘️ Thanks for a great first quarter, junior high! ☘️

Happy Fall Y’all!! Mrs. Vahlings and Mrs. Kreke’s preschool classes had a Fall Fun Party on Friday, October 16. Ton’s of food, games, and friends made the afternoon a success! A huge shoutout to PTA, Room Moms, classroom parents, and 5th - 8th grade students for planning, food, setup, games, face painting, cleanup, and everything in between! The smiles on these little faces say it all!

These two have been running around all over the place lately! Today was their last regular season meet at the Ballard Nature Center, and both Daisy and Lillian ran their best times of the season! We’ll even say it was Lillian’s 8th grade night since we don’t have a home meet.

They will next be running at the Chrisman sectional on Friday. Good luck, girls! Thanks for working hard and representing Sacred Heart well!
