Ms. Fisher's Health I classes are embracing the beauty of the season and learning more about positive mental health and the importance of supporting each other. Students created messages of hope, kindness, and positivity to make a display in the halls of SHS for all to enjoy!

October 1st through November 30th is Free College Application Period! During this time students may apply to South Dakota's public technical colleges and universities free of charge. Students can apply to as many of the participating schools as they wish during this period. More information can be found at OurDakotaDreams.com or by seeing Mrs. Filipek.

October 1st also marks the opening of the 26-27 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) application. The FAFSA is an important step in preparing for post-secondary education. See Mrs. Filipek for more information.

Junior and Senior students had the opportunity to visit the Lake Area Technical College Career and College Fair last Thursday. While there, students had the opportunity to chat with businesses about what their fields entail, visit with over 20 colleges, and also take a trip to the South Dakota National Guard Readiness Center to explore military options.

Students took advantage of the day and came away with lots of great information and hands-on experiences while learning about different options for after high school graduation.

Stay caught up with your homework and grades by participating in Homework Help every Thursday in the SHS library from 3:20-5:00 pm. Come for a quiet space to work and extra support from teachers.

Because first quarter is ending on Friday, October 17th, there will be Homework Help on Tuesday AND Thursday next week.

Students in Mrs. Nordquist's classes have been busy learning about the Spanish langauge and the people who speak it. Spanish I classes have marked Hispanic Heritage Month by researching and presenting about famous Hispanic Americans and their contributions to culture and society.

Bringing enjoyment to language learning through games is one of the goals of Spanish class. Spanish II students used lots of language skills (and laughs) recently to play games like Headbandz and What Do You Meme?
