Hey, have you heard?!
There is a new golf tournament and this year is the inaugural year! If you have not heard and want to get involved, do not worry there are still a few spots left for teams to golf and still opportunities for sponsors!
Swing Fore The Kids was created FOR THE KIDS!! This tournament is designed as a fun way for East Sac County supporters to come together and fundraise in a big way that will help ALL activities and athletics year round for grades 7-12.
There may be a few individual fundraisers throughout the year, but our hope is to save the kids their efforts on fundraisers that provide little return on their participation and investment. Swing Fore The Kids is a golf tournament that will provide 100% of all the proceeds directly to the activities and athletics.
The next few posts are a start to thank our sponsors for making this event possible! They will be posted daily at 2:00 PM!
If you want to learn more about sponsorship or reserving your golf team please comment/message and we will be in touch!

Thank you to the East Sac PTO for providing this opportunity for our First Graders!!!

On April 29th the East Sac First graders had the opportunity to investigate and explore at Hagge Park with Dakota Popp. They learned about animals, plants, and explored the outdoors on a nature hike. It is great that we have this opportunity in our community for our kiddos to learn outside the classroom.

Yesterday, East Sac County 5th - 11th graders were able to enjoy a performance from the University of Iowa Steel Band!!!
The Iowa Steel Band presents programs for school performances appropriate for different age groups. They particularly enjoy presentations for school-age band, orchestra, and choir students to perform and talk with them about music and culture.
Their repertoire includes music from Bach to bossa nova, and they specialize in music of the Caribbean such as calypso, soca, and reggae as well as folk music of theworld, American popular music, and jazz. Their programs are educational, uplifting, and fun, and they always seem to bring audiences to their feet wherever they go.
Thank you for sharing your Music with us!!! This was made possible by the Sac City Arts Council!!! Thank you!!!
CONGRATULATIONS to East Sac Counties very own Kari Mahler!!! She was named KDSN radios Educator of the Week!!! We are proud of her work and her accomplishments with our ESC students. Thank you for all that you do!!!
Alayna, from Loess Hills Ag in the Classroom, made her final visit of the year to Kindergarten and 2nd grade. Since May is Beef Month, Alayna focused on what food cows (beef) give us and we had a special visitor, a bottle calf. Eric Schultz, local farmer and parent of a Kindergartner, brought a bottle calf, Storm, to school for the kids to see and pet. The kids were super excited! Thanks to the Sac County Cattlemen’s Association for sponsoring Alayna, which allowed her to come to the Kindergarten and Second grade classrooms, to educate students on where our food comes from and the role of a farmer in our society. What a great experience!
The East Sac County 4th grade as well as 5 FFA officers participated in Farm Safety Day on Monday, May 5th.

The 4th grade also attended five other stations where they learned about ATV safety, Sun Safety, Firearm Safety, First Aid, and Fire Safety. They finished up their day with a visit from the Air-Med Helicopter!
