The Design and Modeling classes at Simmons Middle School and Holgate Middle School designed snowflakes that were 3D printed and then used to decorate a tree for the Dacotah Prairie Museum's Christmas Tree Lane. It will be on display November 22nd - December 23rd.

Huge shoutout to Mrs. Conklin’s homeroom for taking the crown in our Pop Tabs Collection Drive! They earned a well-deserved pop party to celebrate their sweet victory.

And SMS...we absolutely crushed it!!
Our schoolwide goal was 25,000 grams of pop tabs, but our Golden Eagles soared WAY past that, collecting a jaw-dropping 36,045 grams!

To put that into perspective:
💛 36,045 grams = about 79 pounds of pop tabs
💛 That’s roughly 100,000 tabs
All of which can be recycled to help support families staying at the Ronald McDonald House.

Every tiny tab added up to something BIG. Way to go, Golden Eagles!
