Our 3rd grade students put on an outstanding performance of Christmas at the O.K. Corral, a western-themed Christmas play directed by Dawn Harris.

From Christmas in the West to Christmas Is OK, along with fun favorites like Bubble Goo, Sticky Situation, and Tell Me, the students entertained the audience with memorable songs and big smiles.

Thank you to Mrs. Harris for her leadership and dedication, and to our talented students for bringing this holiday story to life.

Special Visitors at Southside Elementary!
Our 2nd and 3rd graders had an exciting visit today from Officer Croslin, Officer Brown, and Officer Rocky from the Batesville Police Department!
Students learned all about what a K-9 does and had the chance to ask lots of great questions—like what Officer Rocky eats, where he lives, and how he helps keep our community safe.
Thank you to the Batesville Police Department for helping us celebrate Red Ribbon Week and for sharing this awesome learning experience with our students!

💛 Go Gold for Childhood Cancer Awareness! 💛

Today was a special day across Southside! Our football players, cheerleaders, and Steppers started the morning by greeting students at the elementary and preschool, then spent time in classrooms reading with them.

This afternoon, the football players, cheerleaders, and band brought the energy back to the elementary with a pep rally full of spirit and smiles.

We are proud to Go Gold together in support of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month! 💛 #GoGold
