It's USD 271 Staff Appreciation Week! 🎉 We asked families and the community to help us celebrate by sharing messages of appreciation -- now we will share them with you! This week we will feature our incredible teachers and staff across our social media channels, and highlight the impact they make each day. This message was shared as a celebration of SGS dedicated and dependable Mrs. Dryden. "Mrs. Dryden is the most easy going teacher there is! She encourages kids, doesn’t ever get upset, and is always smiling. We love her positivity and love of teaching!” “She has provided a calm, yet stern atmosphere for my daughter to thrive in with her classmates.” You still have time to share your own message of appreciation. Whether it's a teacher, bus driver, administrator, or any staff member who's made a difference, we want to hear about it.

Week 4: They focused on decomposition, recycling, and observed worms and pill bugs. Thank you, Rachel!
