Eggs were hidden. Baskets were ready. And our Preschool and Kindergarten friends were ON THE CASE! 🐣🔍 Watching the excitement, the squeals of delight, and the pure joy of a basket full of colorful eggs made for one of our favorite days of the year. We are so grateful for these amazing little learners and the families who share them with us. Wishing everyone a wonderful and Happy Easter!

Today, Ms Tracey & Ms Jessica’s young scientists explored plant life after reading One Bean! We planted bean seeds in clear bags so we can observe the growing process day by day. The class discussed what plants need to grow and shared their predictions about what might happen first. Science + curious in action! 🌱🔍

Sorting shapes is a fun way our preschoolers practice recognizing and learning their shapes! 🔷🔺🔶 As they sort circles, squares, triangles, and more, they are building early math skills, strengthening problem-solving, and learning how to compare and classify objects. Hands-on learning like this helps little minds grow while they explore, think, and discover! ✨

Friday marks the end of a historic era in the legacy of Southside Schools.

For more than four decades, this gym has been home to countless memories shared by players, spirit squads, families, and our entire community. These moments and traditions have helped shape the pride and spirit of Southside and will be cherished for generations.

To commemorate the final games, we will honor this historic moment with special presentations following the final game of the night.

📅 Friday, February 13th
⏰ 6:00 PM
📍 Southside “New” Gym

Schedule:
• Varsity Girls vs. Forrest City
