Earlier this month, first graders in Mrs. Woodyshek’s class culminated a lesson with camping in the classroom. Students did camping math in their tents, ate s’mores, went fishing for math facts, and made bug jars with their fingerprints. A fun finish to a lesson! #SidneyPRIDE #SidneySabers #SidneyCSD

REMINDER! The elementary school's moving-up ceremony is scheduled for 8:45 a.m. Wednesday, June 25 at Alumni Field. This event celebrates the hard work, growth, and accomplishments of our students and dedicated staff as we wrap up this school year! Also, elementary school yearbooks will be available. The yearbooks are $35. Cash or check (payable to SES Yearbook) are accepted. After June 25, the yearbook will be available in the ES attendance office. Full information: The ceremony will recognize students with: - Academic awards - Special area awards - Band and chorus recognition - PRIDE Awards A photo backdrop will also be available so families can take their own photos after the event. Since it is an outdoor event, families are welcome to: - Apply sunscreen to children before school - Have students wear hats and/or sunglasses the day of the event - Send their student(s) with water Parking information: - Available near the athletic field/transportation center - Across the road from the event - Additional overflow parking behind the school Dismissal reminder: - After the celebration, parents/guardians who wish to sign their child out early may do so at the field. - Look for tables organized by grade level - Only one authorized adult (who has either sent a note, or is listed on the pickup form) should approach the sign-out table - All other family members should remain seated, or return to their vehicles - This process ensures a safe and smooth dismissal for everyone. - Students who are not signed out early will follow their normal dismissal plans, including after-school program students. Inclement weather note: Should there be inclement weather, the event would be moved indoors. Because of spacing limitations, a link will be given to families for a live stream of the event. #SidneyPRIDE #SidneySabers #SidneyCSD

Sidney students took part in the select choir, elementary chorus, senior band, and junior band. After practicing with other area schools, the groups then put on a wonderful concert! Excellent job! #SidneyPRIDE #SidneySabers #SidneyCSD

In February, Sidney Elementary embraced the power of kindness! From friendly greetings to helping a classmate, every act earned a colorful chain link, which built a chain of kindness for each grade. The grade that with the most kindness acts in K-2 was the first grade and they earned a breakfast with Principal Wood – complete with delicious toppings and time to connect! Great job by all! #SidneyPRIDE #SidneySabers #SidneyCSD

Congratulations to the PRIDE Award winners in the elementary school for February! #SidneyPRIDE #SidneySabers #SidneyCSD
