SMS Dodgeball Tournaments Are the BEST!
There’s nothing quite like the energy, excitement, and friendly competition of a dodgeball tournament at Sullivan Middle School! This week, students and staff came together for one of our favorite traditions—our SMS Dodgeball Tournaments—and once again, they did not disappoint.
From creative team names and coordinated outfits to impressive dodges and dramatic last-minute victories, our gym was full of school spirit and laughter. These tournaments not only provide a fun break from the routine, but they also encourage teamwork, sportsmanship, and school pride.
Thank you to our staff for organizing and supervising, and to all the students who participated with such great attitudes and enthusiasm.
What a Day at CES!
Field Day at Carlisle Elementary School was one for the books! From start to finish, the students spent the day running, laughing, and playing their hearts out—and the smiles never left their faces.
A huge thank you goes out to the amazing Carlisle PTO for organizing this unforgettable event. From planning to setup, games to snacks, your dedication and creativity made the day extra special for everyone involved.
Whether it was relay races, tug-of-war, or simply enjoying the sunshine with friends, Field Day reminded us all how important it is to celebrate the joy of childhood and community.
We’re pretty sure there were some sleepy students (and teachers!) by the end of the day—but the memories made will last a long time!
Sullivan Elementary Celebrates Positive Behavior with a Day of Fun!
Sullivan Elementary School was excited to celebrate a year of positive behavior with a fun-filled day for students. Throughout the school year, SES students have demonstrated kindness, respect, responsibility, and perseverance—and Thursday, they were rewarded with a celebration they won’t forget!
Staff and volunteers were busy preparing for the big celebration, ensuring everything was in place for a memorable day. Sullivan Elementary would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Danny Wegner and Travis Samm for making a special delivery for the event and helping with preparations.
A big shoutout also goes to Matt Price for providing the ever-popular dunk tank, which brought smiles and laughter to students and staff alike.
Sullivan Elementary is proud to recognize and celebrate the positive choices students have made all year long!
