Meet the Riders!
Several players from the Varsity RHS basketball team stopped in this morning to visit with students and promote their upcoming events. They would love to see future riders at their events.
Let us introduce you to Aj Schoeberl or to the students, "Miss Aj"
My name is Aj. I am the new clerical at Oscar Howe and I am looking forward to getting to know the students and their families, along with the staff at Oscar Howe.
A little tidbit about myself and my family 🙂
My husband, Rich, and I have 2 sons, Jacob and Ben. Our oldest son, Jacob, was married this past fall and has a beautiful stepdaughter , Emersyn. She enjoys all things 3 years love to do. Our youngest son, Ben, is a teacher at Rustic Acres Colony, he teaches 5 - 8th graders.
We started a feral kitten rescue 8 years ago and have rescued over 60 kittens. Although this can be stressful at times, it has been very rewarding.
Rich and Jacob race 4 wheelers, when we are not racing, we enjoy camping.
Looking forward to finishing the school year getting to know all of you!!!
We don't always appreciate the snow but when we do it is because the students love to have fun in it! And NO this was not taken today...brrrrrrrr! Last week before the temps took a drastic drop!
This is a good reminder though if temps are at 0 degress or above the students go outside for recess. Please make sure you are sending your children in appropriate winter gear!
Stay Warm!
Dangerous weather conditions mean all activities/events for SFSD students for the
evening of Fri., Jan 12 and all day Sat., Jan 13, 2024 are being postponed.

When we say our teachers are the best, we mean it! Mrs. Guebert spent some time this weekend to support one of her students in the DAPA presentation: "A Christmas Line, a North Pole Musical." She was beyond impressed with the talents and dedication of not only her student but all those who performed.
Teamwork makes the (double bass) dream work!
It is not always all work in the office, sometimes we get to take time out to have a little fun. Ms. Amanda and student worked together over recess to start a gingerbread train. Choo Choo!
