Eight Upper School students volunteered on Sunday, November 3 at the 2019 Special Olympics Spokane Bowling Competition at the north side Lilac Lanes.  Jacob Schultheis, John Nowland, Nate Henning, Kade Kaiser, Paul Poole, Gabe Gustafson, Finn Kelly and Gibson Montgomery were each assigned to a lane where they helped the athletes as they bowled.  They also helped make sure the system recorded the score accurately and that bowlers went in the right order.  Then after bowling they transitioned to help out with the awards presentation.  Good work, Dragons!

Fall Colors Paint the Campus

October 28, 2019

October presented both delicate pastels and bold primary colors as the trees and bushes on campus changed with the season.  And they provided plenty of leaves for Lower School recess fun!  See photo galleries of the Fall Colors on Campus and of the 2nd Grade's Leaf Throwing Fun!

A big thank you to the Parent Association from all of the SGS faculty and staff for serving them a scrumptious lunch last Tuesday, Oct. 22 in the Schmidt Center.  As LS head Kathy Johnson wrote in her letter to parents, "We appreciate all that our parents do for us.  The generous gift baskets and gift bags always add to the excitement of the event!"  See a Photo Gallery of the lunch, including a seemingly endless selection of desserts!

From taking the PSAT test to eating an Oktoberfest lunch to trying out a variety of stress relieving and community building activities, the Middle and Upper School students enjoyed a full day on Wed., Oct. 16.  See a Video Overview of their day as well as photo galleries of taking the PSAT Exam, enjoying an Oktoberfest Lunch, their Community Day Outdoor Activities (capture the flag, walking and petting dogs, photo scavenger hunt, chalk drawings), their Quieter Activities (reading to Kindergarten students, practicing yoga, learning mindfulness techniques), and their Arts & Games Activities (face painting, painting kindness rocks, drawing, playing games).  It was a fun way to connect with students in different grades and build up the SGS community!
