Congratulations to Addalyn Brinkman for being selected as the Middle School Student of the Month. She was nominated by Mr. Zach Errett. He wrote “Addalyn has been one of the top students in Advanced 8th grade science. She performed very well on the first test and lab reports. Her overall quality of work has been outstanding. It is evident that she takes pride in everything she does. There are also many times that she has helped other students with their assignments and reports. It is great to see Addalyn taking a leadership role in class.” Congratulations again Addie!

Great news! South Putnam has partnered with the YMCA to provide an after-school child care program for our K-5 elementary students. Details to follow soon. But first, the YMCA needs to staff the program. If you know of anyone who may be interested in working with our elementary students in a structured after-school program, please see the flyer attached or email Michaela Sinclair at msinclair@ymcaswv.org

What a fantastic day at the ballpark! South Putnam Middle School students traveled to Victory Field and watched the Indianapolis Indians play the Toledo Mud Hens as part of the Baseball for Education program. Students saw two home runs by the Indians, appeared on the big screen, met the mascot Rowdie and even got hit baseball games. It was a memorable day! Thank you to all of the teacher chaperones, Mr. Ogborn and the bus drivers, Mrs. Boyce and the kitchen staff, our amazing students and everyone else who made it a special day!

Congratulations to Amber Henigin for being named Miss Teen Agriculture for the state of Indiana.
Late this afternoon, near the end of the school day, the water main feeding South Putnam Middle School/High School and Central Elementary was breached, yet again, by gas pipeline construction crews across from the main campus on US Highway 40.
As of this notification, we are still planning on a regular day of school tomorrow, just with water boil order precautions in place. Our food services director and cafeteria staff have already made adjustments to accommodate the boil order, but please feel free to send a bottle of water with your student tomorrow. We will keep you posted if anything should change.
