If you needed another reason why East Sac County is a great school, this is it! Some of our East Sac County Preschoolers teamed up with our Basic Construction High School students to build step stools together! Positive interactions like this across K-12 are awesome and important. We are lucky that things like this happen here. Very cool for everyone involved!!!
Earlier this week, the East Sac County 2nd grade had Ag Safety Day that was put on by the Sac County ISU Extension Office. Students learned about water safety, food safety, pet safety, chemical safety, and grain bin safety. Students finished the trip with the Sac County Sheriff's department demonstrating obedience commands and bite exercises with the K-9 officers. We would like to thank all the businesses that help support and plan this opportunity for our 2nd graders each year!!!

Decision Day is a day of celebration for seniors in support of their plans after high school. All senior plans are honored on this day including public & private colleges, community colleges, specific programs, military, and workforce.

At East Sac County, we have some incredible students doing incredible things. One student in particular, Luke Wernimont, a senior at East Sac County, stepped up in a big way this year. In the fall when Student of the Month started, Luke reached out to Mrs. Dooley and Mrs. Poen to see if he could help make this recognition even more special. Luke volunteered to make an individualized wooden plaque for every 7th-12th grade student who received this award. Every month, Mrs. Dooley and Mrs. Poen coordinate with Luke who needs a plaque and when they need to be done by; this plaque makes the award even more special! Thank you Luke for going above and beyond!!!

On Thursday, April 19th Mrs. Buse and the chemistry students invited the kindergarten and 1st grade students to join them for a chemistry magic show. Chemistry students demonstrated their understanding of chemical phenomena in the form of mini skits and experiments. From giant bubbles, to lemon volcanoes, to the traditional mentos and coke students of all ages were able to experience the joys of learning. It's always awesome when our HS students can show our younger students that learning is FUN!!!
As mentioned in a previous post, yesterday our 7-12 students participated in a volunteer day. Here are some pictures from Mrs. Mueggenberg's 8th grade class assisting teachers at the Elementary building and showing the importance of helping out to our younger Raiders! They also had a little fun assisting with recess too!!!

Mrs. Bruce's preschool class ended their Sand Study by visiting Hallets Pit. We got to explore a pile of sand and took a tour around the pit to see how the sand and gravel is moved by machinery. Each child got a plastic hard hat and a treat. As one student put it, "It was the best day ever!!!"
