Today our students and staff showed their support for Mr. Harter by wearing blue. It was a simple but powerful reminder of the impact he continues to have on our school. Thank you to his parents for spending time with us today. It was not an easy day, but it reminded us that we are stronger together. 💙 Happy Birthday Mr. Harter!

Don’t miss this fun, affordable way to celebrate reading. See you at school! 📖🎉

Last week representatives from the Salvation Army in Mitchell visited the 5th graders. The class collected 123 food and personal care items to be donated to the Salvation Army as part of their 100th Day of School project. They generously exceeded their goal of 100 items. The representatives explained their organization and did a fun budgeting activity with the students. It was a great learning and service lesson for the class.

The theme for tonight’s game is red white and blue. Let's go big for our girls, pride for our nation and pride for our team.
🏀❤️🤍💙
Region game against Sanborn Central is at 6:00 in Madison. Pack the stands with Ethan fans!! Let’s go Rustlers!

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.

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.
