A member of the Harlem Wizards ("Swoop") made a visit to South Side to talk to the students.  The Harlem Wizards were playing a game in Kendallville for a fundraiser for the Boomerang Backpack program.  Click here to see a video of Swoop showing the students some of his ball handling skills.

South Side Students are Gearing Up for College!

Mrs. Stout's 2nd Grade Class  

  Each classroom at South Side has "adopted" a college or university as a part of the No Excuses University national initiative to promote college-readiness, starting at the elementary level.  Classrooms have decorated rooms and lockers, learned fight songs, and contacted their college or university to begin developing a partnership. 

Students in Mrs. Stout's class (above) received a box of t-shirts and other items from the Indiana University Alumni Association.  Carlee Holsinger, an EN graduate and IPFW student, talked to Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Becker's class (below) about college.  She answered many questions the students had about college and stressed the importance of learning to read and getting good grades.

Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Becker's 2nd Grade Class  

Shown above are members of South Side's Spell Bowl Team, who came in third in their class and third out of the eight teams participating at West Noble.  State-wide they were in the top half of the many schools competing in their class.  Sydney Willey had a near perfect score of 6 out of 7.  Kylie Handshoe spelled 5 out of 7 correctly.  Each speller contributed at least 2 points.  They were excellent representatives of South Side!  Great job, Trailblazers!

 Fall at SSES


South Side is a beautiful place to be in the fall, with the surrounding pond and woods.  The pictures in this slideshow were taken by 2nd and 4th grade students with their iPads and 1st grade students with their iPods.


Check out the updated PTO link under the Parents section on the left.  It contains information about many upcoming events, a slideshow from the Under the Sea Dance, as well as a meeting schedule.
