East Sac County’s Parade of Bands concert last night was a great showcase of our student musicians! 🎶
Students in grades 5-12 performed, beginning with the 7th/8th grade and high school jazz bands, followed by the concert bands starting with 5th grade and progressing all the way up through high school.
It was wonderful to see the growth and talent across all grade levels. And a nice message for all seniors band members as they presented their parents with a rose.
A great performance by all!
Huge shoutout to our senior members of soccer, track, golf, band, choir, student council, softball, and baseball for kicking off their Spring Fling week at High Five Friday!
Our younger Raiders always look forward to seeing high school students show up and help start their day on a positive note—it truly makes a difference!
Way to lead by example. Go Raiders!

Alayna from Loess Hills joined us Monday for our final agriculture session of the year! She wrapped things up with a fun game of Jeopardy, helping students review everything they’ve learned each month.
Thank you, Alayna, for your time and dedication to teaching our students about agriculture throughout the year. We appreciate you making learning both fun and meaningful!

Susan and Kelsey from Iowa Trust Bank in Sac City visited our East Sac County 2nd graders today to talk about earning, saving, and spending money. Susan read a book to the students about making smart choices with their money, and every student received their own piggy bank to start saving!
Thank you to Susan, Kelsey, and Iowa Trust Bank for taking the time to support our students and teach them valuable financial skills!

📚 A Special Visit for Our 2nd Graders! 📚
This week, members of the Sac City Kiwanis stopped by the elementary to surprise each of our 2nd grade students with a brand-new book! Their goal was to support and encourage a love of reading—and our students were thrilled! 💛
Leslie from Kiwanis also shared some of the many ways the organization gives back to our community. From providing bike helmets to all 1st graders to serving a pancake lunch to our 5th and 6th graders, Kiwanis continues to make a positive impact on our students year after year. 🥞🚴♂️
Thank you, Sac City Kiwanis, for your generosity, your time, and your continued support of our kids! 🌟

🐝 Our Kindergarten students had a very sweet learning experience this week!
As part of their entomology unit, our students have been studying different insects — and this week’s focus was on bees! To help bring their learning to life, local beekeeper Melanie Hundling visited the classrooms for a hands on lesson the kids will not soon forget.
Melanie shared how she takes care of her bees, showed students the special protective gear beekeepers wear, and answered the many curious questions our young learners had. She even brought an old hive box filled with real honeycomb and (non living) bees so students could see what the inside of a hive looks like.
One of the biggest highlights? Every student got to try on a real bee suit! 🧑🌾🐝
And of course, no bee lesson is complete without a sweet treat — each student enjoyed a honey stick during snack time. 🍯
The excitement continued all day as students were still buzzing about bees when they headed home! 💛🐝

April is National Volunteer Month, and at ESC we know how much our communities do for us every single day so it’s our turn to give back!
Each grade level advisory group created a plan to serve in different ways throughout our community. Students spent time picking up trash, cleaning emergency vehicles, and helping tidy up areas around town. Other groups (not pictured) visited a local nursing home and cleaned ditches near the school.
We’re proud of our students for representing ESC so well and for showing that service and community matter!
