We apologize for the Santel channel not working during last night’s game. We understand how frustrating that was, especially for those trying to watch and support our team.
The issue has been resolved, and everything is now fixed. The Ethan Santel channel will be up and running as normal tomorrow and for future activities.
Thank you for your patience and continued support of our students and activities!

Good luck to the Ethan Lady Rustlers as they tip off Round 1 of Region Basketball tonight on their home court against Flandreau Indian at 7 PM. Let’s pack the gym and show up loud for these girls as they begin postseason play. Even though this is a home game, passes will not be accepted and all students and senior citizens must pay as we are required to follow state regulations, not schools. Please plan to enter and pay at the west end. Play together, win together. Go Rustlers!

We are proud to share that our students did an excellent job at the State Educators Rising Conference.
Emily and Alyssa Gades earned Gold in Interactive Bulletin Board. Aaliyah Lewis and Konnor Wipf also received Gold in Interactive Bulletin Board and qualified for Nationals. Sophie Henrickson placed Bronze in Children’s Literature K–3. Elizabeth Thomas earned Gold in Job Interview and qualified for Nationals.
In addition, Elizabeth Thomas was selected as a State Officer and will serve as the State Vice President of Membership.
Students who qualified will compete at the National Educators Rising Conference in Portland, Oregon this June. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and accomplishments!

Tonight's double header will be streamed on the TDA Nighthawks youtube channel.
Sorry for any confusion in the previous message. The game will be played at the Corn Palace, but it is considered a “Home” game, so our passes will still be accepted.
Tomorrow night is Ethan’s Home Game for this year. Athletic passes that you have purchased will be accepted. If you do not have your pass available on your email or phone, please contact mary.beyer@k12.sd.us.
Get ready! 🤼♀️🔥
