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 FFA officers lead one of the stations in which they talked about Livestock and Farm safety with their Wheel of Misfortune, and answered a lot of questions. 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!

Due to the continued power outage in Lake View, East Sac County will be dismissing the JH/SR High building at 10:00 AM. 7-11 students who ride the shuttle to Sac City will arrive in Sac City at 10:20 AM. 7-11 students will be dismissed for the day. Route drivers will transport 7-11 students as needed. East Sac County Elementary will remain in session as they have power and the ability to make lunch. The Elementary building will have a regular dismissal at 3:15 PM and route busses will run again at that time. Parents of 7th-11th graders, please make arrangements and note your children will be dismissed at 10:00 AM.
Currently there is a power outage at the Lake View Building. We are going to finish bus routes as normal. We will communicate with Mid American about the power status. ESC classes will continue as scheduled for now as we have students in our buildings. Updates will be provided as we learn more information. Students will be safe and cared for in both school buildings as we evaluate the power status in Lake View. Please watch for additional updates.

On Wednesday, May 14th the high school hosted an activity fair for the incoming 7th graders and the current junior high students. The purpose was to show students all the various organizations offered for students. High school student representatives from each group spoke with the younger students about the importance of being involved and trying something new!
This past fall, we were approached by Colleen Steinkamp and Gail Eischied to build a food pantry that could be located along a street in Lake View. Some plans were drawn up and the food pantry was set in place this week.
