Last school year, we played Teacher Trivia Time, or Theme Song Thursday, with our staff during our radio call-in show over the school announcements! We take the 3rd, 5th, or 7th caller with the answer to our trivia questions and then reward the winner with a donated gift card from local businesses! The staff loved it, and the students enjoyed helping our staff with the answers!

Today's big winner was Mrs. Thompson...and her 6th grade helpers!

If you would be willing to donate $5 gift cards to Southside, our staff and I would greatly appreciate it! You can drop off donations anytime in the office. Please consider putting your name on the donation envelope so we can thank you!
Thank you,
Mr. Backmeyer
