Preschool was full of laughter and learning today! 🍀
The kids came in to quite the surprise—those sneaky leprechauns had made a mess of our classroom while searching for their pot of gold! 🌈✨
We had so much fun with Lucky Charms sorting, a shamrock letter race, pot of gold science experiments, and team-building as we built leprechaun traps. After lunch, the leprechauns fell right into those clever traps… and were officially caught! 🎉
Junior ACT exam is Tuesday March 24th & Wednesday March 25th.
This year the state of South Dakota is having all Juniors take the ACT exam instead of having them take state testing. So it is less testing for the Juniors but it is manditory. Every 11th grader has to take it and it is free. This will be held at the Henry School on Tuesday and Wednesday next week. The ACT has 5 different sub tests that will be scored. Due to the state mandating this, we can split the ACT up into 2 different days. Students will take the English, Math, and Reading exams the first day (Tuesday) and Science and Writing the second day (Wednesday). Juniors please report to Mrs. Hauck's room right away at 8:10 on Tuesday morning. It is very important for all students to attend. A student that is late, will not be able to test on that day.
Things students will need to bring:
-Calculator
-Computer
-Computer Charger
-Pencil
Here is the Calculator policy. It is your responsibility to know if your calculator is within the guidelines. https://www.act.org/content/act/en/products-and-services/the-act/test-day/calculator-policy.html

🎉 Congratulations to our 5th graders on their D.A.R.E. Graduation! 🎓
Over the past several weeks, students have been learning important lessons through the D.A.R.E. program about making safe and responsible choices, resisting peer pressure, and building confidence to stand up for what is right. These skills will help them both in and out of the classroom as they grow into strong leaders in our community.
A special thank you to Deputy Lowry for taking the time to teach, mentor, and encourage our students throughout this program. We truly appreciate your dedication to helping our students succeed! 👏

Dual Credit Night in Clark on Monday, March 23rd. This event will start at 6:30 pm and will be held in the Clark Jr/Sr High School gymnasium. All current 10th and 11th grade students including Henry students are invited along with their parents to help prepare them for the upcoming April 1st dual credit registration for the Fall 2026 semester. Mrs. Hauck will attend if any student or parent from Clark is attending. So please let her know. brigett.hauck@k12.sd.us
During this event, the dual credit coordinators will present a slideshow on all important information in which I will print as a hard copy for each student/parent to take notes. There will be time for individual questions with the dual credit coordinators after the presentation as they will each have their own table with informational material.
Just a reminder that inorder for a junior to take Dual Credits, they would need to have at least a 3.5 GPA. For a senior they would need a 3.25 GPA.

Preschool had so much fun celebrating the 101st day of school! 🎉
We challenged ourselves to count all the way to 101 and played “Top Dog,” a fun game comparing numbers. We especially loved spending time with our reading buddies—reading 101 Dalmatians, building cup towers, and creating a dog house for our dalmatian using different materials.
We wrapped up our day by writing about what we would do if we had 101 dalmatians.
Such a fun and busy day of learning! 🐾

Our 5th grade students have been diving into the world of plants and learning how they absorb water and nutrients! 🌱 Today, they put their knowledge to the test with a hands-on experiment using food coloring and white roses. By placing the roses in colored water, students were able to observe how the liquid travels up the stem and into the petals. 🌹
Throughout the day, they watched as the petals slowly changed color, giving them a real-life look at how plants take in nutrients through their stems. It was a fun and memorable way to bring science to life in the classroom!

This week is National School Board Appreciate Week in South Dakota. We want to take a moment to sincerely thank our local school board members Audrey Rider, Hanna Owen, Dan Hoffman, and Austin Page for the time, care, and leadership you bring to our school and community. Your work often happens behind the scenes, but the impact is felt every single day by our students, teachers, and families.
Serving on a school board requires long hours, thoughtful decision-making, and a genuine commitment to doing what’s best for kids. From budgeting and policy decisions to supporting educators and planning for the future, your dedication does not go unnoticed.
Thank you for listening to our community, asking the hard questions, and striving to create opportunities for every student to succeed. We appreciate your service, your leadership, and your continued commitment to education.
