Special thanks to Bob, Cindy, Claude, Carol and Dustyn for their hard work at South Putnam Middle and High School. You all are the best!
Congratulations to Lincoln Hochstetler for being selected as the High School Student of the Month. He was nominated by Mrs Dickson. She wrote “This is my third year having Lincoln in class, and I have him 3 periods a day this year. He is in my AP calculus class, AP Physics class, and he is my TA during one period. It has been a joy to see Lincoln grow up over the last few years. He is taking a lot of difficult classes, and he is really pushing himself this year. I am nominating him for student of the month because he has gone out of his way repeatedly to make things easier and less stressful for me. Some examples of this are him cleaning up and organizing my room when he is my TA, making a new calendar, and just stopping in before or after school to say hello. He also bought fall/Halloween supplies before school to decorate my room. He even bought Halloween pencils and candy for my classes. Lincoln is a great kid, and I appreciate his kindness every day.”
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!
Senior Night under the lights!

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.

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!
