Some of East Sac County's National Honor Society students were able to join us this morning for High Five Friday! It is always a special morning when our older Raiders are able to spend time with students at the elementary!! Many high fives, and even a few hugs, were given this morning!
It’s time for another celebration! As you know, East Sac County has been working very hard to improve our district and our schools. Following the 2022-23 school performance profile data, the East Sac County Elementary school was rated a “Priority School” with a score of 41.77%. We are proud to report that this year the East Sac County Elementary has EARNED a COMMENDABLE rating with our 2023-24 school year data! Growth like this takes effort from EVERYONE! School staff, students, and families! Help us celebrate this positive growth and DE rating for East Sac County!!!
East Sac County 2nd grade teachers received an email last month saying a family in Iowa wanted to gift 2nd grade students all over Iowa with a book about Caitlin Clark. Their hope is to inspire the kids to believe their future can be greater than they imagine. To not give up.
Yesterday, our 2nd graders received the book, read it, and watched a video from the author, Ally O. East Sac County 2nd graders are going to write a thank you note to the Jensen family for books. The school library also received a book that other students can check out and read it.
Information about the donation:
As the giving season approaches, the Jensen Family is excited to give the book, ‘Just Like Caitlin,' to EVERY second grader in the state of lowa. This book tells her story and includes many important life lessons like dreaming big, working hard, valuing relationships over winning and many more. Dickson and Luann Jensen are proud lowans, business owners, coaches, parents, and grandparents. They are proud of Caitlin and believe she is a great role model for all kids. Because of their love for children and desire to impact the next generation, they hope this book inspires kids to believe their future can be greater than they imagine.
The copy of the book is for each 2nd grade student to keep and enjoy!
The Jensen Family believes books and athletics are two incredible tools for
developing leaders and helping set kids up for successful futures. They hope each student enjoys this book and has a wonderful holiday season!
Thank you for the donation!

East Sac County Schools will be presenting our fall play, Alice in Wonderland, this Friday and Saturday, November 15th and 16th, at 7:00 PM in Lake View. Admission will be $8 for adults, and $5 for students. No activity passes will be accepted. Plays and musicals provide great opportunities for our students to shine in the performing arts area, but they come with significant costs such as purchasing the performance rights, set design, and purchasing costumes; the admission costs help to offset those costs. Please attend a performance this weekend. A full audience is greatly appreciated by those who are performing!
On Thursday, November 7th, the 5th and 6th grade students traveled to Des Moines for the Wild About Education Hockey Field Trip.

A big THANK YOU to ESC PTO for purchasing the tickets for this great event!
