Sheridan County School District #3

Rylee Olsen is in the Panther Spotlight! 🐾 Rylee is a pleasure to have in class! She has a science and engineering mind, and is incredible with any type of hands-on learning that requires her to think outside of the box. Rylee Olson is so great with our elementary students. She has such a kind heart. Rylee displays great conflict resolution skills. During a disagreement, she didn't back down, but she resolved the issue by asking in a different way, which kept her learning going. Daily, Rylee comes to class ready to learn! Rylee has grown so much in letting her personality shine. She continues to show grit in everything she does. Rylee is quiet in voice, but loud in hard work. She’s not afraid to step up and put in the work to get better. Her work ethic in the new junior high strength and conditioning class has been so impressive so far this year.

Alexis O'Neal is in the Panther Spotlight! 🐾 Alexis is persistent and creative in how she acquires new skills. Her resilience allows her to find humor even in difficult situations. Alexis is unapologetically herself, a truly special quality for a 5th grader to possess. She is kind and bubbly to be around, a friend to all. She is passionate about always trying her best at school. Alexis is so full of personality. She makes me laugh in the best way daily! Her sense of humor is unmatched. I am so proud of her drive to succeed. Way to go Alexis. Alexis is here in the mornings ready to go! She has a pleasant personality that makes her friendly and outgoing. She tries hard and has made so much growth! Good Job Alexis! I appreciate Alexis for her kind heart and willingness to help those around her. She has worked so hard this year and is making great progress towards her goals! We just get each other. Cobra Kai!

Mrs. Betz is in the Panther Spotlight! 🐾 Mrs. Betz wears many hats within the district. She is a social studies teacher, activities director, member of our district steering committee and dean of students, as well as a mother. She is highly organized, allowing her to accomplish each of these roles. This week she was hard at work setting athletic schedules with other 1A AD's in Casper. The times of year when activities let up a little tend to be the busiest for an AD - all of the planning. Mrs. Betz supports our students well and ensures a safe learning environment at A-C!

Shelby Northup is in the Panther Spotlight! 🐾 Shelby comes down during flex time to help out as a teacher's aide. She is so kind and sweet with the kids and willing to do anything that is asked of her. We love having her in our classroom. When tasked with a challenge, Shelby smiles and says, "Well let's go". She stays organized by updating her planner, and she is a great big sister! Shelby always greets you with a smile in the hallway. I appreciate her upbeat attitude and willingness to help out! Shelby brings energy into class discussions. She has a willingness to try new and difficult things, which represents what it means to be a panther. I love how Shelby is always willing to try new things and get out of her comfort zone. She is a great addition to the freshmen class!

Bailey Robertson is in the Panther Spotlight! 🐾 Bailey is an intelligent and caring classmate who gets results. Bailey is a quiet leader who treats all of her peers with kindness and grace! Bailey is a very caring individual that is always looking out for her classmates. In class, she works hard and doesn't give up until she figures it out. Keep up the good work, Bailey!!! Bailey has such a kind heart and is a hard worker. She is very bright, she brings so much joy to class, and she gives the best hugs. She is also an amazing soccer player. I am so glad she is a Panther! Bailey is an extremely hard worker. She puts her time and effort into every task given to her. She will ask questions and seek to understand. Bailey has such a caring heart and thinks of others before herself. You rock, Bailey!

A Panther Shout-Out to Abbie Odegard and @SourcesOfStrength today for the planning and execution of an activity for our K-12 students! Based solely upon the noise coming from the gym - a huge success! #180DaysOfJoy

Our instructional framework has had our teachers working hard this year, and it shows every day. Here, students are singing along to a song teaching them the seven continents as a do-now for their social studies class. Students are up, active, and learning. Great things happening at A-C! #180DaysOfJoy

Witnessing the gains our students are showing this year in literacy is inspiring! The students are working hard every day to become great writers and readers. Today, this manifested in a discussion of the difference between a metaphor and a simile. #180DaysOfJoy

Will Betz plays ‘Taps’ as part of the A-C Veterans Day celebration! #180DaysOfJoy

Thank you from the JHGB team to Jolene for sponsoring their jackets!

Will Betz is the 7-12 student of the month! Will works hard in all of his classes and has really stepped up as a leader this year. He's taking more responsibility in the classroom, and doing more work than he ever has. His attitude toward school has vastly improved. In my classroom, he is always engaged and willing to do what needs to be done. Outside of the classroom, he is well respected by the student body and is a natural leader, even though he doesn't want to be. His peers gravitate toward him and he's been an excellent role model for our younger students.

Rylie Constantine-Schiffer is the K-6 student of the month! Rylie has been a rock in the 5th and 6th grade classroom. She is a hard worker who absolutely loves school and works hard to better herself in all areas. She goes above and beyond to help others in class and make sure that everyone is having a successful lesson. She even chooses to learn on her own time in areas that she feels she needs work on. Rylie is an exemplary student and a friend when needed.

Mrs. McTaggart is in the Panther Spotlight! Mrs. McTaggart is our assistant special education director. In addition to the ease with which she accomplishes that role, she has been working to master 4th grade ELA and math as well. Mrs. McTaggart is a leader in our school - serving on our district steering committee and helping to drive growth at SCSD#3. Her constant smile is uplifting for everyone she interacts with throughout the day. We are lucky to have her as a Panther!
