terested in making a difference in the lives of our

students may call Rhonda Sweetman at 280-7165

SC Booster Club A great first day breakfast was held for all parents

and students. The Stanley County School Board,

with help of the Pierre/ Fort Pierre Lions Club,

served pancakes to kick off the beginning of the

school year. We wish to thank both groups for

giving us a wonderful start to our new year!

and Book Fair will be held Oc-

Thank You! We would like to thank our “School Supply San-

tas” for providing needed school supplies so our

students start off the year in a successful manner.

Your kindness is very much appreciated.

Note From Our Librarian, Mrs. Smith Welcome back to school! Part of your child’s

school week includes a visit to the library, this is a

fun and exciting part of their week. Please encour-

age independent reading and read to your

child. Reading is so crucial to their advancement

and a fun activity you can do together. Please help

your child to find a special place to keep their li-

brary book so it does not get lost. Protect their

book from pets, younger siblings and the weath-

er. Remember to return library books on

time. Please note students are responsible for

their books and if lost or damaged will need to be

paid for. Please help your child to have an awe-

some “READING” year.

The Girls on the Run program of Stanley County

Elementary would like to thank the Fort Pierre

Road Race Committee for their generous dona-

tion to enhance our Girls on the Run program.

The $1000 donation came from a portion of the

proceeds of the “Four on the Fourth in the Fort”

held in Fort Pierre this summer. The donation

will be used to assist with scholarships for the

Girls on the Run program along with other mate-

rials to make the program stronger. Thank you

again for your generous support!

Emergency Preparedness Throughout the year the district will be practicing several emergency

drills in order to be better prepared should an event occur. We

encourage parents to discuss the seriousness of these drills with

your children.

Sign Up to Receive Our

Announcements The district will be using Remind; a one way messaging system to

communicate emergency announcements and reminders to parents.

This system will allow us to efficiently send messages to parents via

text and/or email. Please note that standard text message rates do

apply. This is a one way system so if you reply to a message it will

not be received. Also, it does require that you sign up as the

district cannot simply add you.

Information regarding sign up was sent home in your beginning of

the year letter; however, if you missed that opportunity, use the

directions below. If you have any questions, please contact the

school office at 223-7741.

ing events/games. This does include homecoming events as

well.

Battery) will be administered to SC juniors November 23

ASVAB For the safety and security of our students, it is very im-

portant that when you are picking up your children during the

school day that you stop and check in at the office. We also

ask that when you arrive to pick up your child at the end of

the school day that you remain in the lobby area and refrain

from going down the hallways or to the classroom doors. If

you have a need to speak with the teacher after school, wait in

the lobby area until students have been dismissed and then

you may proceed to the appropriate classroom. We thank

you for helping us better monitor who are in our buildings.

Are You Able to Help Us? We are in the process of redoing the class pictures

that are in the lobby of the high school. Unfortunate-

ly, many of the class pictures were adhered to the

paper with a glue that is now eating through the pho-

tos, making them difficult to see. The original photos

are no longer available to us, so were are searching

for anyone who may be willing to donate a yearbook

for us to cut apart. It is possible to copy the pages as

well, but the cost is 5.00 per page, which is not in the

budget at this time. If anyone would like to either

“sponsor” their class and donate the money, or do-

nate the yearbook, please contact Shirley Swanson at

223-7743, ext 134. We are looking for yearbooks

from 1989 back to the early 1900’s.

GOLD PROGRAM

The following note was sent to us by Jay Stuart, along with the Commence-

ment Programme on the right. We are pleased to share it with you, and

thank Mr. Stuart for his contribution.

My grandfather was James E. Bowen and was a dentist, first in Fort

Pierre and then Pierre until his death in 1959.

I was going through some old family documents and located this gradu-

ation program from the class of 1919.

I thought it might be fun to have it for your website.
