9th grade physical science

Southland Junior-Senior Prom
Held on April 29th
Many students gathered at Travis Schmitz’s house for a photoopportunity before heading to the grand march in the school auditorium. A meal and dance followed at the American Legion in
Adams. The post-prom party was held at the school. A fun time
was reported by all!
FFA Advisor, Kevin Brown, FFA Members, Princess Kay of the
Milky Way Rebekah Dammann and Milkmaid Molly Smith were
on hand for the official milk machine ribbon cutting ceremony at
Southland Middle and High School.
Thursday morning, May 11,
2006, Southland MS/HS students
and staff welcomed Princess Kay of
the Milky Way Rebekah Dammann
from Glencoe, MN. Along with Mower Co. Milkmaids Mollie Smith and
Abby Rossow, she performed the
“ribbon cutting” officially announcing the addition of a dairy vending
machine to our school. She also
spoke about the importance making good nutrition choices and encouraged students to consume at
least three servings of dairy products daily for good health.
FFA Advisor Kevin Brown,
along with members Scott Helgeson (President), Lance Sorenson
(Vice President), Josh Lammers
(Secretary), Mike Sheely (Treasurer), Jared Emanuel (Sentinal),
and Peter Thome (Region 8 President) served samples of products
available in the machine, including string cheese, yogurt, and low
fat and flavored milk. FFA members are responsible for keeping
the machine filled with fresh dairy
products.
Gene Anderson, Treasurer
of the Mower County American
Dairy Association, read a list donors
who contributed to the purchase
of this machine. Other Mower Co.
ADA members who deserve a big
THANK YOU include Chris Sukalski
(Chairperson), Steve and Darcy
Reinartz (Vice Chairpersons), Julie
Jax (Secretary), Randy Smith, Rick
and Tracy Smith, Bob and Connie
Irvin, and Janet Heller.
Many other dairy producers
and businesses in the Southland
School District have also supported
this fundraising effort with the goal
of providing dairy vending machines for every secondary school
in Mower County. Please contact
one of the ADA members listed if
you are interested in contributing
to this fund.
The dairy machine is available throughout the school day and
has already proven to be popular
with Southland students and staff.
We also appreciate the support of
Gary Kuphal, Supt. and Jon Ellerbusch, MS/HS Principal, in helping
make the addition of this machine
to our school a reality.
Bad Hair Day!
Middle and High School PTO Meeting
The Southland Middle and High School PTO met
on April 5, 2006 at 7:00 pm in the Media Conference
room. Present were Laura VanBushkirk, Carrie Sorgatz, Tisha Simonson, Joe Vogt, Shauna Schlichter,
Terrie Hanson and Dawn Mueller.
The secretary’s report was read. Motion was
made to approve the report by Laura and second by
Carrie. Motion passed.
Treasurer’s report was read. Motion was made
to approve the report by Dawn and second by Joe. Motion passed.
We still have some coupon books left to sell.
The kids can keep selling the books and we will keep
giving the kids the $1.00 per book sold. The classroom that won the pizza for the most books sold is Mr.
Schulte’s homeroom. On Monday Joe will pick up the
pizza and bring to the classroom. Each kid is to bring
their own pop or something else to drink. If we do the
coupon book next year, the kids would like to have another week to sell.
There was no principal report. The Elementary
School carnival is May 12. Shirley, Shauna and Terrie
are working the meal for the High School Play.
It was decided that we will go with the 3 ring
binder for the cookbook. All the recipes are in. Laura
will check with Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Knable to see if
there is a class that would like to help us decided some
things for the cookbook.
Joe will take care of the recycling on Monday.
We reviewed the wish list. The only new request was from Mr. Galle. He put in a request for help
to start up an archery program for grades 4-12. The
total cost is $1300.00. He is also looking to ask some
other clubs for help. Motion was made by Terrie and
second by Tisha to give Mr. Galle $500.00 to help start
the archery program, with a possibility of more help if
he needs it. Motion passed.
The PTO will be doing a Rebels basket for the
Carnival. Please bring all items to the May meeting.
There was some discussion as to having a
Haunted House during MEA next October. This will be
discussed more at the next meeting.
Motion to adjourn the meeting by Dawn and
second by Terrie. Meeting adjourned.
Mrs. Paula Mortenson, Southland Science Teacher, shows
students how NOT to style their
hair in the morning. Her recent
hair-raising experience was the
result of a demonstration using
a Van de Graaf generator to explore electrical charges in the
electricity unit.
Exploring Our World
The Cookbooks
are
Coming!!!
Mrs. Klingerman’s third grade recently
finished up a unit on the solar system. During this unit students were able to explore
our world via the Internet in coordination
with their classroom’s SmartBoard.
The students interacted with a website that explored the nine planets plus the
sun. The students were very excited and
learned a lot. At the end of the unit, each
student made a replica of a planet to display
in the recent Elementary Art Show.
Pamala Pater proudly shows off her model of the
Sun.
The Middle/High School
PTO is presently finishing up preparations to send our cookbook to
print. Thanks to everyone who
contributed their wonderful recipes. The plan is to have the books
by the end of the school year.
Hopefully, as you are reading this,
they have already arrived.
We will be selling the cookbooks the Sunday of Dairy Days in
the Adams Park, and also at Rose
Creek Fun Days. If you can’t be
at either event and would like a
cookbook, call the school at 5823568. You may also call 433-2364
or 437-6993 to buy a book or for
more information.
