Seven votes. That’s how close our community came to passing last year’s bond referendum.
That level of support told us we’re moving in the right direction, and it’s the reason the primary building continues to be the focus for this November’s election.
This fall, we’ll keep the conversation going and share more about the 2026 proposal at bit.ly/4pisgO2.
The SBL HS Band had a great performance at the first home football game! Now it is time to start the next generation of band students! The 5th graders have been trying instruments this week and there will be a beginning band meeting next Tuesday, September 15 at 6:00pm in the middle school commons. Students can still join band if they miss the meeting, but it is very helpful if both parents and student can attend. Contact Ms. Scheevel with questions!
Please contact Lisa Aymar if you are interested.

Let's take a closer look!
Throughout the fall, we'll be highlighting different parts of the proposed primary school project and sharing updates along the way.
First up: the overall scope. The proposal includes a new primary school addition connected to the existing elementary school, creating shared spaces and a secured entrance designed to enhance student safety.
We're excited to continue the conversation in the weeks ahead!

The Morningside University School of Visual and Performing Arts held their annual All-State Choral Camp Aug. 3-5 in Eppley Auditorium. SBL had four high school vocalists participate in the camp: Izzy Carrell, Jax Sedgwick, Roxy Dean & LeOra Murdock.
At this camp, the students had the opportunity to learn the Iowa All-State Chorus repertoire of music and had fun doing it! The camp concert was conducted by Dr. Paul von Kampen, the new director of choral activities at Morningside University.
The students will be auditioning in October for a chance to be accepted into the Iowa All-State Chorus. Good luck to them!!

📢 One-Night Notice Regarding Football/Track Lights
Due to extreme summer heat, the specialized crew resealing our high school track will be working overnight to stay safe. As a result, the lights will remain on until 3:00 AM tonight (July 27). This should only be for one night.
Many businesses are working around the extreme heat we have been experiencing and we want to extend the same to this crew. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this temporary disruption may cause our immediate neighbors, and we truly appreciate your understanding.
