The Satanta High School Chieftain Yearbook Staff (Marlen Perez Munguia, Yahaira Puerto, Eva Loewen, Isaiah Manriquez, and Edwardo Mata) had a fantastic time in Philadelphia at the National Journalism Convention!
In attendance were 3,693 students representing 691 high schools from 50 states and eight countries.
The staff learned a lot about design, coverage, and incorporating live streams at multiple convention sessions.
The staff and their sponsor, Mrs. Courtney Dunn, also found time to visit 27 historical sites, tour the Philadelphia Zoo, race up the steps at the Philadelphia Art Museum, and spend almost four hours at the Philadelphia Penitentiary, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
This week SGS is honoring Mrs. Fischer, our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade math teacher. Mrs. Fischer is known for building relationships with students and using innovative techniques to help students learn and love math!

We will serve a Thanksgiving feast for our students and families on Thursday, November 21, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. We would love to have you join us on this day to eat lunch with your child.

If you have students in both buildings and would like them to eat together, please notify the high school of your plans. Junior high and high school students can be picked up and signed out by a parent.
Please purchase tickets in the grade school office before the meal or bring exact change or a check. The cost for guests is $6 per meal. We hope you will be able to join us!
November 13 is a half day. Students will be dismissed at noon. Lunch will be served.

USD 507 district paraprofessional Lori Zimmerman has been selected Staff Member of the Month at the Satanta Jr/Sr High School. Mrs. Zimmerman joined our team in August, and her ability to work with both students and staff has benefited everyone in the building. Staff members who voted for her noted her positive attitude and her willingness to help wherever help is needed, which has included organizing the care closet and supervising the concession stand. Please join us in recognizing Mrs. Zimmerman. Our building is fortunate to have her!
