South School Pajama Day!
Sometimes you just need a break from the routine! Last week students spent library time doing STEM activities and creating artwork for the upcoming Pizza and Pajamas with Santa event. Thank you to Mrs. Petty and Miss Sydnee for providing these types of opportunities for our Little Braves.
We appreciate all that you do!

The annual South School Gianni's Pizza Fundraiser was a huge success this year!. This year students sold more kits then ever before!
The Little Braves Boosters celebrated the top 3 winners, Kollyns, Mariana, and Brinsley, with gift certificates to Wal-Mart while Mrs. Williams p.m. class earned a pizza party due to their class having the most kits sold.
Every student who sold at least 10 kits was put into a drawing for a brand new bicycle. Carson happily accepted his new bike after his name was drawn!
Thank you to everyone who sold and purchased with this year's fundraiser. Money earned through the fundraiser will go back into funding for South School classrooms.

This is a wonderful event that South School students and staff love to be a part of!
Friday was full of frightful fun at South School!
Mrs Frieden’s Kindergarten worked on building CVC words with large letter cards today. Mrs Frieden would read the word they needed to spell and they were responsible for spelling it in the right order.
It is amazing to see the growth in these Kindergarten students since school started, they are working hard and it is paying off!
Mrs. Allen
South School is unbelievably lucky to have the Little Braves Boosters to partner up with for events like today's Fall Family Fest.🎃🎃
Recently the Pittsfield Fire Department visited South and taught their annual fire prevention lessons. Students reviewed fire safety tips and learned about various types of fire equipment.
We are fortunate to have volunteer firefighters willing to take time out of their schedules to support student safety.

South School's 1st grade students recently finished a reading unit titled From Your Nose to Your Toes: How Your Body Works. To complete the unit the students and teachers welcomed Dr. Kendra Conkright and her nurse Racheal to help teach them about staying healthy. This included teaching the students how to properly wash their hands and answering many student questions about staying healthy.
South School would like to give a big thank you to Dr. Conkright and Nurse Racheal for taking time out of their schedules to be with us last week. We are always grateful when members of the community work with us to provide meaningful learning opportunities for our Little Braves.
Mrs. Allen
So many important learning opportunities were on display today at South School.
A few examples include Mrs. Rhodes' Kindergarten students working with letters and letter sounds as well as using problem solving skills to create different types of structures during station time.
Additionally, Mrs. Davis' First Grade students learned about primary colors and began a fall project that included painting student drawn pumpkins with primary colors.
Mrs. Williams' preschool students welcomed Fall by incorporating apples into their classroom in a variety of ways. A few of the favorites include taste testing apples, working with apple cinnamon scented play dough, 'cooking' with apples in the play kitchen, and adding apple trees to the block area.
South School - We had a fantastic Homecoming week with all of our theme days. Thank you to the Little Braves Boosters for coordinating the days!
