Our students have been busy engaging in interactive and meaningful learning experiences across our classrooms:
🔬 8th Grade Science: Mrs. Haddon’s students participated in a hands-on Natural Resources Simulation to better understand environmental sustainability and resource management!
🏛️ Government: Ms. Henry’s Government class had the honor of hearing from Sergeant First Class Frank Gardner, who shared his real-life experiences serving in Iraq. His visit added valuable insight to their ongoing project evaluating the effectiveness of government.
🌱 6th Grade Science: Mr. Laney’s class took a creative approach to photosynthesis by creating interactive tab booklets—and even used chalk markers to map out concepts right on their desks!
We love seeing our teachers bring lessons to life! Keep up the great work, Eagles!

Ben Lytle Kicks Off the 2026-2027 School Year
What an honor to welcome Ben Lytle to our all-staff back-to-school meeting this morning.
Ben founded Anthem, now Elevance. He built Silver Sneakers into one of the largest exercise programs in the country. In 2024, he was named a Living Legend of Indiana. He is the author of The Potentialist book series.
He could speak anywhere. He chose to spend his morning with South Putnam educators.
His challenge to our staff was simple: our students will grow up in a world none of us can fully picture yet, and our job is to give them what no technology can. Character. Wisdom. The choice to be fully human.
Thank you, Ben, for the encouragement and the challenge.
Every Student. Every Day. Go Eagles.

💙❤️ A Message from the South Putnam Café Food Service Director ❤️💙
As we prepare to welcome our students back, I want to share a quick update from the South Putnam Café.
The health and safety of our students is always our top priority. Out of an abundance of caution and due to recent concerns regarding Cyclospora, we have made the decision to temporarily remove fresh lettuce from our menus. We are working closely with our local health department and will resume serving lettuce as soon as it is considered safe.
Please know that our students will still be offered fresh vegetables every day.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we put student safety first. My team and I are excited to welcome everyone back and look forward to serving healthy, delicious meals all year long.
See you soon, Eagles! 🦅🍎🥕❤️💙
