Before they dive into The Great Gatsby next week, Ms. Kaiser's Juniors have been researching how life in the 1920s, especially around New York, was much different from the lives we live today in South Dakota. Students were each assigned a different category, ranging from pop culture to inventions and politics. They created a collage and wrote a two-page paper, detailing each picture. They also learned how to cite their sources along the way.
February 16-20, 2026 is South Dakota School Board Recognition Week. We would like to recognize and thank the Andes Central School Board Members for their leadership and dedication to the students, staff, and community they serve.

The 7th Graders are working on paper mache' and/or loom weaving in Mr. Winter's Class.
February is a month with numerous celebrations, and holiday books are fun to read. Go to Sleep, Groundhog! is a cute book that also includes three fall and winter holidays. The hibernating groundhog can't sleep, takes walks to get tired, and sees things he's never seen before: Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. A witch, a turkey, and Santa all help the groundhog back to his burrow, read him a bedtime story, and give him a bedtime snack. When February 2 finally arrives, the tired groundhog wants to sleep through it instead of checking for his shadow. The book ends with a background of Groundhog Day. Various elementary classes enjoyed this book, including Mrs. Swanson's third graders.
