The Patrick Henry Performance Dance Team started practicing 3 weeks ago and as a way to get to know each other, dancers were assigned a "Dance Sister." Each pair of sisters combined with another pair to select a song, create a short routine and perform for the whole team! Fun awards were given to each group along with smiles and laughs! The Dance Team is busy preparing for their first performance on March 1st during halftime of the Lincoln High School Girls Basketball game!
Last week, Team 8-2 Social Studies students raised $284.00 for the Humane Society. Students could purchase a chance to guess how many Red Hots were in the container for 25 cents. With 1,136 student guesses, Dillon Scott’s guess was the closest and he won the candy prize! Way to Go Team 8-2!
Kudos to these students who participated in the Elementary Festival Honor Choir at SDSU last week. They spent the day rehearsing with 180 other students and then performed in the evening. It sounds like it was an amazing experience for our PH students!

Team 6-3 Science students used their Geologic Time Scales to answer questions and figure out the necessary codes to unlock the Breakout Box. Students persevered and worked as a team while reviewing science content. They even commented, "Can we do another one?" and "That was way better than a lesson!" 😜🔒
A recent Facebook post regarding Washington High School falsely claimed a routine request for a birth certificate was related to immigration status.
State Law (SDCL 13-27-3.1-3.3) requires all public school students to have a birth certificate on file within 30 days of enrollment. When required records are missing from student files, school staff regularly attempt to contact families before sending the required information to the State’s Attorney.
These requests are made solely to ensure compliance with State Law and to maintain complete student records. They are in no way related to immigration enforcement. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our students and their families.
Please reach out to your child’s school or the district office with any questions rather than relying on social media for accurate information. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping student records up to date.
Team 8-3 established Pen Pals with Robert Frost students at the start of the school year. They've exchanged multiple letters throughout the year and finally got to meet in person last Friday. During their visit, students played together at recess, completed a Kahoot and some students played card games while chatting. They topped off the get-together with cookies! It's great to see our 8th graders mentoring some of our future Panthers!
