What and AWESOME day for East Sac County CSD!!! This morning Joe Beckman delivered a powerful message to our 7-12 students about several things that our teens face on a daily basis. He talked about the importance of human connection, resilience. and the value of being able to make someone's day. This afternoon he spoke to our K-6 students about being a change maker, being nice to others, and the importance of recognizing those who do good things. He also took time to thank all of our educators for their work everyday. Our students were respectful, good listeners, and engaged. Thank you Joe for sharing your message!!!

This morning our East Sac County Elementary students were greeted by Cy the Cardinal from the Cyclones and representatives from the ISU Extension and Outreach-Sac County for High Five Friday!!! Cy took many pictures, gave High Fives, gave a few autographs, visited every classroom, read some books, and even had time to have a doughnut from our kitchen. No matter what Iowa team you root for, having a college mascot visit our school was pretty cool for all kids to see!!!
Our First graders in Mrs. Hunziker's have been busy learning and writing!!! Our East Sac County 1st graders researched Endangered Animals for 9 weeks. Each child selected their endangered animal to research. They worked each week on a new research question about their animal. When they were completed with the unit the students took parts from each research question to write our final copy that was sent off to Studentreasures Publishing Company. We sent it off in December and just received our book this week. Mrs. Hunziker received an email that stated the book was entered into a National Book Challenge. The National Book Challenge celebrates and recognizes books written and illustrated by children. In June Mrs. Hunziker will find out if East Sac County was selected in the top 50! Nice work little RAIDERS, you did well!!!
