Last week I shared the high school PBIS standards. The middle school standards spell CARE: Cooperation, Achieve, Respect, Empower.




Kindergarteners were working on Random Acts of Kindness. 8th graders volunteered to help them paint their own kindness rocks. The class will then paint a class rock and give it to another teacher in the district in hopes they pass the kindness rocks on to another.






The Food for Thought program has been in the district for many years. For the first time, the program may run short of funds. If interested in donating, please contact Heidi Utesch at the high school. Thank you for your consideration.


SBL utilizes PBIS, a systems approach to behavior, where we focus on positive behavior, rather than negative or punitive behaviors. Each building has established standards. The High School standards are P.O.W.E.R. - Positive, Ownership, Well-Prepared, Engaged, Respect.

B2 & B4 Music Appreciation Keyboarding Classes had concerts this week on December 17th in the SB-L High School Choir room for their parents/guardians, families and some of the study hall students. Both Keyboarding classes did awesome and gave wonderful performances!!! Great job students! Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year!





The SB-L High School Choir sang caroling songs this week at Pioneer Valley Living & Rehab, Embassy Rehab & Care Center and Floyd Senior Living. It was fun to sing for the residents and bring some holiday cheer! Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year!


Today is the last day of school before Christmas Break. We dismiss at 1:00 this afternoon. We will return to school on January 2.


Members of the SBL Middle School Choirs spread some holiday cheer by singing for the residents and staff at Embassy Rebab and Care Center in Sergeant Bluff on Friday, December 13 and Monday, December 16. Not only were our students able to share their musical gifts, they also shared their artistic skills by making holiday cards for the residents. We had a great time seeing the joy our visit brought to the residents. We look forward to sharing more music with the folks at Embassy later this school year. Thank you for having us!









I got to help sing happy birthday to two students today.(The were half-birthdays.)
