A celebratory party to end our school year! A DONUT PARTY enjoyed by EVERYONE! Thank you to substitute teacher, grandfather, and wonderful supporter, Lonnie Tutsh, for sponsoring the "End of the Year DONUT PARTY and Celebration"!
A huge shout out and an endless amount of gratitude goes out to the P-G staff, football team, cheer/dance team, and all the volunteers who made today's work of emptying every classroom a swift process. Thank you to Ringling Trucking and Midwest Concrete. A million times over, thank you to everyone. Many hands truly does make light work!

Best of luck to our 2023 Graduating SENIORS!

Our First Graders took a field trip to the Sioux Falls Zoo this week......
Calling All Volunteers:
They say many hands make light work and this endeavor will be no exception. Due to the summer renovations that will take place at both the elementary and high school buildings, every classroom needs to be emptied of all desks, books, etc. Some of our coaches have volunteered their student-athletes to assist in the process, but we are looking for additional volunteers to lend a hand. Ross Ringling has graciously donated a semi and trailer and Midwest Concrete is allowing the district to store all the desks in the former Yellow Rose building. If you are looking for a great cardio workout and lessening the burden for all district employees, come to either the Platte-Geddes Elementary or High School at 9 a.m. on Friday, May 19. Your assistant is great appreciated!
Second Grade Geddes Park Project!
Our second graders and their parents completed their PBL project in the Geddes Park last week. Be sure to stop in at the park to see their outstanding work! Thank you to Trevor Rolland for his Senior Project of making the "Tire Game". Thank you to the second graders for keeping the park clean each year and for adding new projects.

We had a "Good News Call" going out to Isabell Huizenga. Isabell was nominated for the good new call by several of her peers. She was nominated for "always being in a positive mood, always having a smile on her face, always being willing to assist others, and for showing patience". Isabell is a kind and compassionate kiddo who thinks about others around her and makes the day better for her classmates. Thank you, Isabell, for modeling Kindness and Respect to others.
