Celebrating Student Success

Our students at SISD have accomplished so many great things this year! As we reflect on the year, we want to take a minute to appreciate some successes they have accomplished.

Several students receiving awards with Ms. Burke and Ms. Laura

In the PYP, several students received principal's awards and eco friendly stickers for reading and comprehension progress. Amazing work!

In grade 6, Emma wrote a fantastic essay on War Horse using the PEEL (point, evidence, explanation, link) format. We are so proud of your hard work, Emma!

In Grade 8, some collaborated with Grade 4 students to assist with their reading and projects. Additionally, Amna wrote about this experience for the grade 8 newsletter. Fantastic work, Amna!

In secondary, many of our students received awards from Ms. Furr for their accomplishments.

There are so many more amazing accomplishments - we could fill a book with them! We are so proud of everyone's accomplishments this year and can't wait for another fantastic year!
