Game time is 6:00 for the HS game - there are youth fb games in the morning and a MSFB game vs. Custer at 2:00 so a full day of football! See you at the game!
Sylvia nominated Amy Vande Velde for this week's Shining Light Award. “I have observed the creativity in her teaching style and how she positively interacts with students. She holds her students to the expectations of being good listeners, participating in class, coming up with solutions, and understanding why it is important to be a life learner. Thank you for your dedication and hard work you give to this school.”
Lead- Deadwood School District will be offering FREE flu shots to students this year on Friday, October 27th. The child must be enrolled in a Lead-Deadwood School, grades K-12.

Please fill out consent form, and return it to the school by Friday, September 22nd if you would like your student to receive a flu shot. The school WILL NOT give the shot if all forms are not filled out COMPLETELY and signed by a parent/guardian. Late paperwork will not be accepted. Consent forms are available for viewing and printing on the School Nurse webpage, https://www.lead-deadwood.k12.sd.us/page/ldsd-nurses-corner or downloaded at https://5il.co/24580.
