Our Pack the Gym night on Tuesday was a HUGE SUCCESS! We were able to donate 318 items to the Seneca Food Pantry! In addition, with the donations at the entrance, concession stand profit, and the staff jeans fundraiser, we were able to donate $2,360! Thank you to everyone that come to the game and/or donated. SGS and the Seneca Food Pantry appreciate you!!!
South Campus celebrated the end of Trimester 1 with a Thanksgiving "Escape Room" Fun Day!
On Saturday, November 8th, five SGS students participated in the ILMEA District 2 Music Festival at Augustana College. They spent the day rehearsing and performing in a concert alongside students from other area schools. These talented musicians were chosen through a virtual audition process, selected from nearly 1,000 submissions.
Congratulations to Abigail Alexander (Jr. Treble Chorus), Sara Bruno (Jr. Band), Reese Harkins (Jr. Band), Annika Jackson (Jr. Mixed Chorus), and Aurora Jackson (Jr. Mixed Chorus) for being selected and representing SGS in such a meaningful musical experience!

Fifth graders participated in a CSI-themed Social Studies unit on Ancient Egypt, investigating the mysterious death of King Tutankhamen. Acting as detectives, they analyzed primary sources, evidence and artifacts to explore different theories and determine his cause of death as well as the disappearance of his wife, the Queen Ankhsenamun.
Today is World Kindness Day! In honor of this special day, our second graders teamed up with Refuge Coffee to spread smiles and encouragement! Each student wrote a note of kindness on drink sleeves to brighten someone’s day. Stop by Refuge Coffee to grab a drink and enjoy a little extra kindness with your cup!

Falling in Love with Preschool
Preschool has been busy this Fall. We have been learning about seasons, especially Fall. We have been learning to zip our coats now that the weather is cooler. We have been discussing the changes we see in Autumn. We have noticed the leaves changing colors and falling from the trees. We have noticed the squirrels are very busy.

The South Campus said goodbye to the 1st Trimester this afternoon with some fun activities. Can't wait to start the 2nd Trimester on Monday!
Mrs. Fabris attended Computer Science is NOT for the Birds on County Institute Day. The Regional Office of Education #35, is loaning 5 Finch Bots to the district for the school year after Mrs. Fabris attended the workshop and learned how to incorporate FInch Bots into the math curriculum. She has been working with some students to learn how to code the Finch Bots to trace numbers and make shapes. The students have had fun learning how to code as well as working on persistence and making adjustments when bots don't do what they want.
