Huge congrats to Officers Matthew Olson and Kani Valencia for their Meritorious Service Awards! Special shoutout to Officer Valencia for being named VFW Police Officer of the Year! We are proud to have the best in our schools!

Our 6th grade Language Arts students had a blast during a library scavenger hunt! They worked in teams to explore the shelves, discover different sections, and learn how to find books and resources. It was a fun way to get comfortable with the library while practicing teamwork!

Congratulations to this week’s Golden Eagle Athlete of the Week, Addyson Salfrank!

Addyson scored two goals vs. the Sioux Falls Jefferson Cavaliers to lead the Golden Eagles girls’ soccer team to a 3-1 victory!

Mrs. Ottenbacher's students practiced working as a team with a puzzle challenge!

Our 6th graders put their detective hats on in Language Arts today! Using inference skills, they examined clues and pieced together evidence to figure out "Who Kidnapped the Principal?" Students had to read between the lines, and back up their ideas with proof from the text.

Interested in auditioning and joining the Simmons Singers show choir this year? Ask yourself these three questions: Do you like music? Do you like to perform? Do you like competition? Then Simmons Singers is the group for you! Please talk to Mrs. Hansen if you have any questions or need help signing up for an audition time. We're excited for another great year and a GREAT show!

As your child gets settled into the new school year, we encourage you to consider having your student be a part of Youth Power at Simmons. Youth Power is a club open to all 6th - 8th graders. Members pledge to stay drug, alcohol and vape free as well as commit to being a kind, respectful person who makes positive choices every day. Throughout the year, members can join in after-school and evening activities ranging from games and movie nights to volunteering for local organizations. Each event a student participates in will earn then 1 point. Once they have collected at least 10 points, they are eligible to attend an end of the year trip to either Valleyfair or the Omaha Zoo. (Details at a later time).

Youth Power is a great way to make connections at school, build relationships with peers and ultimately give back to the community. Please consider encouraging your child to participate in our student club.

Students can pick up a pledge outside room 126 (Lepkowski) or 127 (Leitheiser). Once they have completed the checklist, students can turn their form into Mrs. Lepkowski or Ms. Leitheiser by the 29th.

Today at our elementary schools, build your own smile with fruits and veggies! 🍇🍎🥕🍅 #AberdeenPublicSchools #GoEagles
