Our
teachers have a lot of fun with the hands-on activities they do with the
children. They do their best to make learning fun. The children "wanting" to
go to school is as important as them being there.
The Southside school
always has plenty of fun academic activities for the students, like Dr. Suess
week, their reading travels and the milk jug igloo built in the lobby.
Fun
being an important part of a child's day, the playground has also had a
facelift, with plenty of equipment for everyone to have a good time at recess.
The Southside has recently updated their technology center for the K thru 3.
