Today we have two different local business join us for High Five Friday! Employees from Family 1st Dental of Sac City and United Bank of Iowa - Sac City greeted our East Sac County students with High Fives and Smiles to start their Friday! Thanks for joining us!!!
At East Sac County, we have some incredible students doing incredible things. One student in particular, Luke Wernimont, a senior at East Sac County, stepped up in a big way this year. In the fall when Student of the Month started, Luke reached out to Mrs. Dooley and Mrs. Poen to see if he could help make this recognition even more special. Luke volunteered to make an individualized wooden plaque for every 7th-12th grade student who received this award. Every month, Mrs. Dooley and Mrs. Poen coordinate with Luke who needs a plaque and when they need to be done by; this plaque makes the award even more special! Thank you Luke for going above and beyond!!!
Earlier this week, Neil Peterson, CAD instructor at ICCC stopped and visited with Mr. McCollough’s Industrial Technology students. Mr. Peterson shared the career opportunities related to CAD and the ICCC Engineering Tech program. We truly appreciate when we can share different career opportunities with our students!!!

On Thursday, April 19th Mrs. Buse and the chemistry students invited the kindergarten and 1st grade students to join them for a chemistry magic show. Chemistry students demonstrated their understanding of chemical phenomena in the form of mini skits and experiments. From giant bubbles, to lemon volcanoes, to the traditional mentos and coke students of all ages were able to experience the joys of learning. It's always awesome when our HS students can show our younger students that learning is FUN!!!
As mentioned in a previous post, yesterday our 7-12 students participated in a volunteer day. Here are some pictures from Mrs. Mueggenberg's 8th grade class assisting teachers at the Elementary building and showing the importance of helping out to our younger Raiders!

Mrs. Bruce's preschool class ended their Sand Study by visiting Hallets Pit. We got to explore a pile of sand and took a tour around the pit to see how the sand and gravel is moved by machinery. Each child got a plastic hard hat and a treat. As one student put it, "It was the best day ever!!!"
Due to the Boil Advisory the city of Lake View issued this weekend for Monday and Tuesday of this week, East Sac County is requesting students in grade 7-12 bring a full water bottle from home each day of the advisory.

7-12 students please bring a full water bottle to school on Monday and Tuesday of this week. You attention to this situation is appreciated.

Earlier this week, the East Sac County 3rd grade class had the opportunity to travel to Storm Lake to visit our local Iowa DNR Fish Hatchery. While they were there they learned from a few celebrity Dads, Ben Wallace Fisheries Biologist and Matt Mork, Fisheries Technician, about how they gather fish, collect eggs, and fertilize them.
They then were able to watch them release the fish down the slide back into the lake.
In science students have been learning about fertilization and natural selection. Thank you to the Iowa DNR and these Dads for this awesome opportunity!!!
