Reminder about the upcoming healthcare event on Saturday, March 28th and we encourage your student who have expressed an interest in healthcare careers to register.
This event is a wonderful opportunity for students to explore healthcare pathways, learn about educational options, and connect with professionals in the field. Whether they are considering nursing, allied health, or other medical careers, this experience can help them take the next step in planning their future.
We had our I Love to Read 2026 kick off today. The theme is, "South Point's Reading Run-IditaREAD".
We will celebrate the joy of reading during the month of March with a variety of activities. The goal is for our students to gain a greater appreciation for the skill of reading and be motivated to read! We are hopeful that our activities will promote parent participation in reading with their children.
Thank you for your support at home!

Our students had the honor of experiencing the All-School Powwow presented by the EGF American Indian Parent Advisory Committee. We were guided through this meaningful event by our emcee, Ricky White, and accompanied by the drum group Smoke Stack. Students listened to stories and watched the dances that brought each story to life. We were also invited to participate. Thank you for this meaningful learning experience.
In light of Random Acts of Kindness week (Feb 14-20) we did a sprinkle kindness like confetti wall.
Students were able to write a kind note to their friends, classmate, or staff that work for the school. They did an amazing job at spreading kindness.
