The BE Pro Be Proud Workforce Mobile Unit visited SC today, and our student volunteers were incredible! Student volunteers kept students in grades 6–12 moving as they explored hands on workforce experiences in welding, plumbing, power line work, digger simulator, and a truck driving simulator. The BE Pro Be Proud team was truly impressed with the leadership and enthusiasm our students showed throughout the day. What an awesome opportunity for real world learning!

Ms. Baumberger’s and Mrs. Schulz’s kindergarten classes are taking part in Hearts Across America—a project that connects classrooms nationwide while building geography, math, and literacy skills. This map, displayed in the elementary hallway, shows all the states that have sent letters so far. They’re off to an amazing start!
What better way to celebrate National Read-Aloud Day than having an author read their favorite childhood story to you? Mrs. Gloe's Second Grade class was fortunate enough to have Molly Weisgram (author of "The Other Side of Us") read "If You Give a Moose a Muffin" to her class. The students enjoyed listening to the story and asked Molly many interesting questions about being an author.

The Badlands Brawlers (Philip/Wall/Kadoka) came to town on Thursday January 29th and upended the Buffaloes 47-23. A lot of exciting matches , but the Buffs never backed down. Wins for the Buffaloes came from Jerrick Walker, Witt Myers, Landon Bame, and Case Kolda.
After a day of rest and a short practice, The Buff boys jumped on a bus and headed out to stay the night in Hartford on the way to the Parker Invite. Once weight was made and breakfast ate, we traveled the short distance to Parker. With only 12 Buffaloes ready to stampede, every wrestler contributed to the team score by winning at least one match.
Mason Stoeser came one match from placing but had 3 pins along the way. Braylen Williams may not have scored team points as he wrestled unattached, but he finished 2nd at 106. Jerrick Walker finished 2nd at 120 winning 2 matches by pin. John Boes came one match from placing as well, dropping a 9-7 heartbreaker to place. Witt Myers finished 2nd at 132 with a pin and major decision. At 138, Ryland Magee dropped a quarterfinal match after having a huge lead to battle back with 3 pins and techfall on his way to third place. Landon Bame, 144 pounder, had 2 pins and a techfall to finish third as well. Our lone champion came at 157 with Case Kolda simply dominating his weight class with 3 first period pins! Coy Ludemann had a spectacular day with two pins and gutsy 3-2 decision to finish in third place. Sayth Cronin had one pin in his three wins to finish in third place at 190 pounds. Wyatt Schilling had one pin on the day but came up short from placing at 215. And at Heavyweight, 9th grader Aven Angyal got in the win column with an exciting pin but still ended up short of placing.
It was a great day and for the first time this season, the Buffaloes brought home some team hardware finishing in second place with 155.5 points. Falling only to Class A Tea Area, who scored 156 points. Go Buffs!

We have some Athlete of the Week recipients to catch up on!
Elyssa Tedder was chosen as Athlete of the Week as she was asked to guard the opposing team's best player every game that she played in. She faced the challenge head on and did so without getting in foul trouble. She practices at game speed in every drill and gives 100% effort even when undersized. Against White River, she had 7 points, 6 rebounds, and 0 defensive errors. She puts her team first and herself second. She is always cheering on her team when they succeed, is a good listener, respectful, and shows great sportsmanship.
Gracie Rutherford was nominated for Athlete of the Week for consistently setting the standard for hard work, leadership, and dedication. She works harder than anyone else in the room during practice and pushes herself while motivating teammates. She helps others improve by staying late after practice, offering advice, or leading by example. Gracie has been placing in each tournament competing against some of the state's top competition!
Case Kolda placed first at the SC Invite in wrestling and took 2nd at the MVP tournament. At the time of being nominated for Athlete of the Week, Case was undefeated in duals and had a 9-1 record. He works hard for his success both during the season and in the off-season. His work ethic is unmatched!
Congratulations to Elyssa, Gracie, and Case!

THANK YOU to the Fort Pierre Senior Citizens! The Fort Pierre Senior Citizens kindly shared their appreciation with a generous donation to our Buff Closet and elementary student snacks. They told us this gift is their way of saying thank you, and that they truly enjoy when our students stop by and entertain them.
We didn't capture all the pictures of all the recipients, but we have been able to award Buffalo Heart Awards to students from the following schools:
Herreid/Selby Area
McLaughlin
Gettysburg
Cheyenne-Eagle Butte
Our student-athletes choose who get the awards, and some schools haven't had a recipient just based on the character and sportsmanship they display! Congratulations to those students who have received a Buffalo Heart Award and for the positive attitude, sportsmanship, and character you have shown us as our home events!

The week of January 11-17 was Officials' Appreciation Week!
We were able to host 2 girls' basketball games and recognize our officials that week with handmade cards, pre-game announcements, and some treats in our officials' room.
Our officials attend clinics, region meetings, complete rules meetings and take
exams in preparation for the sports season every single year. They take time away from their personal schedules and families to provide opportunities for the thousands of student-athletes that participate in SDHSAA activities.
Even though the week is over, please take time to thank an official sometime throughout the school year!
