A new bench installation is one of several ongoing improvements across Fort Pierre. Cleanup work has begun behind the former taxidermy shop, while a Rotary Club bench built by Stanley County CTE students was recently installed beside the elementary school through a continued community partnership. Those pictured include Ben Connot, JK-8 Principal; Dan Baldwin, Superintendent; and Tom Tveit, Rotary Club President.

Lighting the Way 2026

On Wednesday of Dr. Seuss Week, SD Secretary of State Monae Johnson visited Mrs. Gloe’s class to read to the students. Later, the class enjoyed reading The Butter Battle Book, making their own butter, and tasting it on fresh bread. They also held a butter‑flipping contest to see whether it would land butter‑side up or down. After graphing the results, butter‑side down proved to be the clear winner.



SDUIH Food Pantry is available to all. They are located at 339 S. Pierre Street, Pierre, SD

Mrs. Gloe’s class would like to extend a thank‑you to School Board Chair Chris Fosheim for visiting on Tuesday of Dr. Seuss Week and reading to the students. Your time and support helped make the week extra special!

Mrs. Gloe’s 2nd grade class kicked off Dr. Seuss Week with a special visit from Mayor Gloria Hanson, who read "Oobleck" to the students, gifted the class a fun pair of socks, and shared exciting news about a new park coming to Fort Pierre with a grand opening planned for this summer. The students also enjoyed making their own Oobleck in class.


A huge thank you to our FFA students for the delicious breakfast burritos for staff! Your hard work is truly appreciated. We’re grateful for all you do to support our staff and our school community.
Thank you for making our day a little tastier and a lot brighter!
