Sheridan County School District #3

We welcomed parents tonight to celebrate the successes that students have had in the first quarter! #180DaysOfJoy

Congratulations to our senior VB Panthers! We appreciate all that you have given the Panthers community.

Mr. Hansen is in the Panther Spotlight! Mr. Hansen greets students every morning as they arrive and provides a safe space for energy release. He has taken on a huge project in modernizing the library and the resources available to students, staff, and community there. This year, he has stepped up and started providing reading interventions for some students, and the assistance he provides in the classrooms multiples our ability to drive good learning. He is willing to step in and complete any job throughout the school - Mr. Hansen is a Panther through-and-through!

Willow Harriet is in the Panther Spotlight! Willow challenges herself to improve everyday. She is enrolled in college classes and works hard with the rigorous classwork. Willow also is willing to help others, whether it is her peers or adults. Good job! Willow is a respectful and responsible individual. She does what is asked and goes above and beyond. She is passionate about FFA and building high quality shop projects. Whenever the senior class needs a member of the class to contact a person, Willow jumps on it! She doesn't procrastinate making this contact and reports back to the class in a prompt manner. Thanks Willow for your organization and social skills.

Kamy Michelena is in the Panther Spotlight! Kamy is a leader in- and out- of the classroom. She strives to be her best in all areas. Students, seeing her as a positive friend, look up to her as a source of strength. Kamy is a leader at the local, state and national level. She works with her peers to encourage them to join and be involved. She is our STUCO president and the SADD Chapter president. She is awesome to work with and I am glad she is being recognized! Kamy is a go-getter. She is dedicated to success in academics and extracurricular activities. She is a positive role model to the younger members in FFA and doesn't hesitate to help others. Kamy has an outstanding drive to get things done which makes our school a much better place to be. Plus, her playlist of music is impressive. Kamy is determined to succeed and she does!

Ellalynn Mack is in the Panther Spotlight! Miss Ellalynn is such a joy to have in class. She is a passionate learner and always tries her best. Ella is kind to all her friends and ensures that everyone is included. I look forward to seeing all the growth she makes this year! Ella is a hard worker and gets along well with her peers. She takes her time to do her best work. Ellalynn always has a smile on her face and a hello to greet you! She is very sweet and kind to all students and a great addition to our elementary group. Ella loves to learn and always shares the best smile.

Parents joined today to better understand the work students are putting in every day in class. The support that parents provide the school and their children is foundational to our success! Thank you for being a part of our educational team. #180DaysOfJoy

Dr. Chase is in the Panther Spotlight! Dr. Chase works with students K-12 to develop an appreciation for music. He is able to meet every student where they are and help them improve throughout the year! He is a steadying force for our community, his educational experience is valuable for all. The constant smile and positive attitude with which he approaches each day helps make A-C the best place to work.

Tessa Anderson is in the Panther Spotlight! She is willing to take the rigorous courses and move towards her future goals. She is also taking on leadership roles with the Student Council and SADD Chapter. A great addition to our school! Starting a new school is never easy; however, Tessa's bubbly personality and authentic character made her transition seamless. Her willingness to include all in the classroom makes our environment more positive. Tessa is a joy to have in class! I love her positive energy, and the kindness and compassion she shows to others.

Trig Hackett is in the Panther Spotlight! Trig is loyal, kind, and very good at finding his way over, through, and around obstacles. Trig is willing to help others and has a great attitude. He is friendly with everyone. Trig is a hard worker in and out of the classroom. He is always willing to help when needed. He has grown so much this year! Trig is a soft hearted individual and willing to help out whenever needed. He works hard to get the job done.

Congratulations to our September Wellness Challenge raffle winners - Mrs. Ellingrod and Mrs. Buchanan kept their focus on wellness all month - good work!

Elementary Parents! You are invited to spend time in class on Thursday, October 12th. Make sure to RSVP for lunch and if you want to stay for the Spirit Week Assembly, it starts at 12!

I started my morning today listening to a podcast episode from Amplify about reading instruction. One of the nation's expert teachers had his daughter and nephew on, speaking to their struggles with reading and how that changed their attitude toward school. Much has changed in the average school over the past years for reading instruction - spending time in our classrooms this morning has me confident that our Panthers will not be turned off to education and school due to an inability to read. Our teachers are doing an amazing job of preparing ALL students for their futures. #180DaysOfJoy
