Last week students from the 6th grade Očéti Šakówiŋ Owáuŋspe earned the opportunity to visit Good Earth State Park (Blood Run Gathering Place). Student were led on a guided trail to learn about native plants and animals, watched an informative film about the nations that gathered in the area 500+ years ago, and participated in a scavenger hunt throughout the museum. All SFSD middle school O.S.O. classes joined this trip, giving us a chance to gather together and visit with friends and family in the district.

Student members of the Ben Reifel Middle School Unity Club and their buddies faced off against the Washington High School Unity Club in an exciting matchup filled with energy and encouragement. Throughout the game, students, families, and staff members filled the stands, cheering loudly and demonstrating the school’s core value of unity. This event serves as a powerful symbol of support for students with disabilities, while also creating meaningful friendships and unforgettable memories. With overwhelming support from the school community, the first Unity Game at Ben Reifel Middle School proved to be more than just a competition—it was a celebration of inclusion, teamwork, and the power of unity.
