Our senior class officers helped bring an important tradition back to South Putnam. Monday several of our seniors made the journey to St. Louis on the Senior Trip. Students toured the Gateway Arch, the St. Louis Zoo, and Aquarium at Union Station. They ate dinner in Ballpark Village. It was a day of fun memories. Thank you to Brian Gardner, Rachelle Custis and Cortney Branam for organizing the trip.
It is Red Ribbon Week! Students are receiving information and signing pledges at lunch. We are also encouraging students to wear red on Friday and attend the P.I.E. Breakfast. Thank you to NHS for their leadership on the week's activities.

What a beautiful fall day out at Chandler's Farm! Thank you to Old National Trail, Executive Director Joe Kwisz and Teacher Tom Standers for making this possible. Thank you Matt Chandler for coordinating the tour, apple picking and pumpkin selection. It was a fun and educational day!
Mrs. Henry took her ACP US History class out to the new tables on the Nature Trail to analyze the original draft of the Declaration of Independence. It is wonderful for students to learn about the foundation document of our nation while enjoying the beauty of its land.
Congratulations to Kailani Montgomery on being named student of the month. Kailani was nominated by McKenna Jones. Kailani has many great character traits, but recently, she has demonstrated commendable perseverance and courage after making the decision to enroll in Early College courses. Kailani makes progress every single day, and I am proud of her attitude in the face of a challenging situation.
When recommending Kailani Ms. Jones said "Kailani has many great character traits, but recently, she has demonstrated commendable perseverance and courage after making the decision to enroll in Early College courses. Kailani makes clear progress every single day, and I am genuinely proud of her virtue. When faced with challenges, many kids choose to take the easy way out when given a consequence-free opportunity to do so, yet Kailani chose to buckle down and try harder, which is why I would like to nominate her as student of the month."
Volleyball beats North Vermilion in three sets at home. It was a great way to close out the regular season. Sectionals start on Thursday.
The middle/high school entrance is temporarily closed due to an accident. Please use the 231 west entrance near the bus barn.
As part of Teacher Appreciation this fall, teacher Kate Hudson won some tickets to a Purdue football game. She took fellow teacher Emily Coke along in an attempt to convert her to a Purdue fan. Helen Eaglin and Cameron Frazier even helped. I think they succeeded.
Friday night our South Putnam Cheerleaders crowned the Penny King Kolby Harcourt and raised over $500 for Breast Cancer Awareness 🩷. Thank you to them and our entire South Putnam community for supporting this cause.
Senior Night at South Putnam! A night of celebration and a win against Heritage Christian!
Phil Williams (Willy) has been running the scoreboard at South Putnam football games for 50 years. We can't thank him enough for his dedication, loyalty and pride at being a South Putnam Eagle! He is reliably there at every home game. He has even chosen South Putnam games over Dodger playoffs. The press box also just wouldn't be the same place without his humor. He is the anchor. As Tom Standers said, "We hope you give us 50 more years!"
Volleyball Senior Night was a success on Thursday. The Eagles defeated Brown County in three sets. It was a fantastic night for Olivia, Peyton and Joscelyn!
Students are making papier-mâché letters in Mrs. Carranza's class.
South Putnam organized a pink game last night in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Thank you to everyone who decorated and donated bake goods and money for this worthy cause.
This morning Mr. Frazier received the S.A.L.S Grant to pay for three drones for his Ag Power, Structure and Technology course. The drones will help support work related to Core Standard 10 through which students "apply concepts of emerging technologies." S.A.L.S. is supported by a "small group of community members interested in enhancing the learning environment for South Putnam students" in areas of science, agriculture and life skills. Thank you for their generosity and support of South Putnam students and teachers.
Congratulations to Danae Cline for her 1,000 career digs! She was able to celebrate with her coaches, teammates, family and friends last night during a home game against Cascade. It is quite a career accomplishment and Danae is just in her junior year. Well done, Danae!
