Sheridan County School District #3

Week number 2 of our #SourcesOfStrength Healthy Activities Dodgeball Tournament will feature a Tuesday matchup of The Ammarizzles against The Crabs.

Here are the standings after day one of our #SourcesOfStrength Healthy Activities Dodgeball Tournament. Rodzilla was down to two players against five at one point, but with strong performances from Caden Manor and Tessa Christianson, they were able to pull out the win!

Braelin Burton is in the Panther Spotlight! Braelin is fun and willing to work hard. I enjoy her personality and look forward to seeing her in the halls and in class. Good job Braelin! I have had the opportunity to see Braelin grow in the last 5 years. She is a caring individual who has come out of her shell in and out of the classroom. I am excited to see all that she will accomplish in her next chapter! Braelin has tackled her last semester as a senior head-on - she is intent on making her time left as a Panther positive and impactful for the remainder of her life! Braelin has grown so much since she started coming to school here at ACHS. Her positive demeanor and attitude are always appreciated! Braelin brings a smile to the faces of those she knows with her humor. She is a strong artist and is driven to become a teacher herself!

Delton Odegard is in the Panther Spotlight! Delton is fun, friendly and full of energy! He participates in class and has great ideas to share. Good job Delton! Delton is very caring about his classmates and quick to make them laugh. He has a good sense of humor and is very academically strong. Delton is a very helpful Panther student. Keep up the good work, Delton!!! Delton keeps me on my toes constantly. He is always eager to share stories about moving cows and Chevy dually pickups. He is always willing to give me a helping hand when I need it. Thank you, Delton for the energy you bring to our class! Delton is talented and smart and is keenly aware of his surroundings by observing and listening to everything in his environment. Delton is so social and loves to make new friends. I know that no matter what I am teaching that day, Delton will contribute with a story or input about how we can get it done.

Izzy Mauck is in the Panther Spotlight! Izzy is such an amazing young lady. We love having her in our classroom. She has really stepped up and has become a part of our classroom family. From helping run centers to teaching math strategies, she brings a little sparkle to our room. We love you Izzy! Although Izzy is talented and full of energy, she consistently and genuinely shows concern for others and their well-being. Izzy has a sense of humor that can light up a room. She's always honest and willing to tell it as it is, but in a way to make others better. Izzy is a kind-hearted student who cares for her friends and peers. She is willing to ask the big questions and start valuable discussions. Her witty sense of humor in any situation makes her a great addition to the classroom. Izzy is probably (quietly) one of the funniest kids we have out here. I always enjoy walking past her in the hallways as I know there is a good chance she’ll crack a joke with me!

Mrs. Cole is in the Panther Spotlight! Mrs. Cole has been dedicated to the success that our students achieve in mathematics in her tenure at A-C! She works with students every minute that she is at work, often hosting our after school and extending her workday til 6:00. She has a spot in her heart for everyone and demonstrates care for each student and their well-being in addition to their learning. Mrs. Cole has given our school more than expected this year, and our students are better for it. She remains committed to the Panther Way, and in helping our students be prepared for their next step!

She is very spunky and quick to be helpful when needed. She is a great addition to our Panther family!!

These characteristics make sure our activities are successful. Good job Skye! Skye always brings good energy to the class and asks good questions to make sure that she understands the lesson. Skye Rose has such a kind heart. I love when she comes and visits me in the elementary. I have so loved watching her grow and mature over all these years. Skye kind of carries the weight of the entire sophomore class on her shoulders. She is also a leader amongst her peers and a good one at that. Not only is Skye a leader in the class of 2026, but she has also stepped up as a leader in sources of strength, making sure to spread positivity around ACHS and always being there when others need her. Thanks for being there for all of us and being such a great Panther leader, Skye! Skye has a way of positively and non-intrusively helping her classmates stay on track and walk the Panther way. Her leadership makes our classroom retain high expectations.

Jorgen Michelena is in the Panther Spotlight! Jorgen always livens up our discussions with his creative ideas! Jorgen is calm, cool, and collected never letting anything rattle him and at the same time, he uses those same characteristics to challenge others and their thinking. Jorgen is friendly and always says hi. He is learning to be a leader and helps out when asked. He has great ideas and I enjoy having him in class. Good job Jorgen! Jorgen always brings interesting perspectives in class that help promote good discussions. Jorgen has such a great sense of humor. He always makes me laugh! I definitely miss seeing him every day. Jorgen's witty comments make our classroom that much livelier. When reading any material, he has a knack for relating the central claims and themes back to our real world. Also, he showcases his opinions strongly!

3rd and 4th graders team up during Fundations to show off their skills in the ultimate showdown. Great work is happening! #180DaysofJoy Guest post from Mrs. Andreen

Through the power of Artificial Intelligence, the 5th graders had a conversation with Amelia Earhart. They discussed topics about adventure, courage, and perseverance. A few students even asked about her mysterious disappearance. #180DaysofJoy

Panthers in the News! https://thehill.com/homenews/education/4417792-will-remote-learning-make-snow-days-a-thing-of-the-past/

Mrs. Auzqui is in the Panther Spotlight! Mrs. Auzqui is a hard working, dedicated Panther. She has embraced change this year, moving out of a role as a leader of the curriculum work in the district and into one teaching third grade ELA and second grade math! She provides a smile at every turn and has been a leader at A-C! A past member of DSC, Mrs. Auzqui was instrumental in our achieving the high marks we did in our accreditation visit. While still leading behind the scenes, she is choosing now to focus on her students and put all of her effort into the classroom, and our students are the better for it. Mrs. Auzqui is truly committed to advancing the Panther Way!

Our K-6 student of the month of December, voted on by ACHS #SourcesOfStrength is 6th grader Raimee Jordan! Here is why Raimee was nominated for the award: "Raimee has been a wonderful addition to the AC community! Every day she comes to school, works hard, loves learning, and encourages her classmates to be their best. She is kind and an expert 4-square player :) Her enthusiasm, integrity, and dedication make her a deserving student for this recognition." Congratulations, Raimee!

ACHS #SourcesOfStrength would like to congratulate the December 7-12 student of the month, Abbie Odegard! Here is what teachers had to say when nominating Abbie: "Abbie has always demonstrated her skills to the utmost level during class. she puts in the extra effort to make sure that all of her work is done on time. She always asks for clarification when she doesn't understand particular parts of what is being taught. She does a great job of interjecting good humor into the class. She has done an amazing job this last month." "Abbie has been put in a different role than normal this last month. This could have been hard on her and she could have taken a negative attitude toward the situation, but instead, she thrived. When adversity was thrown at her, she took it in stride and found the best in the situation, becoming a major leader of the student population. Abbie is through and through a panther leader and is above and beyond the student of the month in my eyes."

Positive connections with kids is a such a great part of being an educator, and I am lucky enough to have these kids as part of our amazing staff to student connection program! #180DaysOfJoy Guest post by Mr. Spade

We keep improving so our kids can keep improving. Thanks to our great partnership with #SheridanCollege and the handy work of Better Body Fitness in Billings, we were yet again able to update the weight room with a new dumbbell rack and a new ADX fan bike. All of here at ACHS sure appreciate it! #180DaysOfJoy
