Stanley County 57-1 Public Schools

During Red Ribbon Week, students had the opportunity to write an essay on someone they look up to because of their character. We had a handful of students write some excellent things about the people they look up to, and they have now been challenged to share that with them! Way to go, Buffs and Lady Buffs. Thank you for taking time to write a meaningful essay.

Middle School Wrestling at Lyman has been postponed for this evening (11/25/2025) due to weather. We will keep you posted on the new date. Stay warm and safe!

Wrestling season is officially under way in Buffs Nation with the Middle school Buffs and Lady Buffs traveling to Chamberlain on Thursday, November 20, 2025. Though the numbers were a bit low, expectations and drive were high as we crowned 3 champions, Gunner Schreiber, Aksel Nordvold, and Hazen Garrett! Ahleise Schweitzer and Corbin Good came in as 2nd place finishers while Cayde Keil was 3rd and Emerson McClelland finished in 4th. Coach Craig Heller and Coach Clint Neville both agreed that the kids had an outstanding day with lots of room for improvement. Most people look at the wins and losses…they are not losses. They are Learning Opportunities!!! And the MS Buffs and Lady Buffs have another opportunity to win or learn on Tuesday November 25th in Presho with wrestling starting at 5 PM CST. GO BUFFS!!!!

A short week with a few activities! Good luck to middle school wrestling competing at Lyman this week and to the Lady Buffs High School Basketball Team starting of their season tomorrow/Monday!

The Rooster Rush Campaign took flight this fall, bringing the excitement of pheasant season to fourth grade students.

As part of the program, students were read a book about hunting pheasants, connecting them to one of the state’s most celebrated traditions. The campaign, led by Rooster Rush and supported by community partners like The Pheasant, aims to spark interest in both literacy and the outdoors.
