Just a few pictures of some of the super heroes who visited South School on Friday!
South School Penny Wars
Thank you to the Little Braves Boosters for organizing the Penny Wars at South School last week! Through this fundraiser the students learned about the value of each type of coin, they learned how to use strategy to know which classes to 'bomb', and they helped raise $3,113.40 for the South School classrooms! Congratulations to Mrs. Wessel's class for earning the Pizza Party with the most pennies at $145.91. Congratulations also to Mrs. McNulty's class for earning the Donut Party with the highest overall total of money with $602.95.
Preschool screenings are being held next week!

Happy 3rd birthday to Pikeland's favorite professional therapy dog, Marti!
South School Music and Art Appreciation
Over the past few weeks Mrs. Boren, the South School music teacher, has been introducing the Kindergarten - Second grade students to 'Picture the Music' a music and art themed activity in conjunction with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. The students listened to music and then painted what they thought the music would look like. The PHS Art Club then judged the artwork and chose 2 Kindergarten, 2 First Grade, and 3 Second Grade pieces to send in to the competition. Congratulations to the artists!
The South School Preschool Gingerbread Night was a success! Thank you to all of the families who shared their evening with the preschool team. All of the creations were amazing.🎄🎄
