Good morning Thunderbolt families! Due to inclement weather, our SHES field days for grades 3rd through 6th have been moved to indoors. This is great news for our students as they will be able to have a field day, yet unfortunate news for parents and families as we will be unable to allow spectators to be a part of these indoor field day events. We apologize for this inconvenience and disappointing circumstances, yet our SHES staff look forward to seeing parents, families and community members back in our building next school year! Please contact Principal Hummer with any questions hummerr@usd450.net or 357-5400.

Good evening 6th grade Thunderbolt families! Originally the inclement weather plan for our outdoor 6th grade promotion scheduled for Thursday at 6:00 p.m. was to move indoors to our SHES gym. Due to field day inflatables being moved indoors with the chance of rain, our new inclement weather plan for 6th grade promotion will be an outdoor event at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, May 28th. We will not make the final decision until Thursday afternoon, yet it was important to share this information with families for planning and scheduling purposes. Please contact Principal Hummer with any questions hummerr@usd450.net or 730-5345. We look forward to celebrating our 6th graders as they transition to middle school!
