Andes Central's Annual Veterans Day program will be held on November 11th at 2pm in the Auxiliary Gym. We would be honored if you joined us in celebrating our veterans.

Students in 5A put their teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills to the test as they worked together to build towers using marshmallows and gummy worms! Students shared ideas, collaborated with their teammates, and used trial and error to see how tall they could build. It was a fun, hands-on way to practice communication and teamwork while learning together.







The Andes Central triennial wellness policy assessment is available for view on the district's website under Documents-Parents.
If you are a veteran, or know a veteran, in our community and would like to be included in the school's veteran recognition video, please send your name, rank, branch of service, deployments and eras, years of service, and a picture to synnora.wilbur@k12.sd.us or drop it off at the MS/HS office for us to digitize. We appreciate your service.

2nd graders in Miss Ekroth's class worked together to solve the Case of the Stolen Candy.

The Sioux Falls Zoo and Butterfly House visited our students to help bring their learning about habitats to life! Students had the opportunity to learn about a ball python, a rat, and a bearded dragon, with some even getting to pet the bearded dragon & python. As the presenter introduced each animal, students learned about its habitat and how it meets the animal’s needs. It was a fun, hands-on learning experience that connected classroom learning to the animal world!
