Happy National Principals Month! Join us in sending a huge thank you to our very own principal who leads with dedication and inspires students every day. A principal's impact is invaluable! Thank you Mr. Means for all you do for the students of Southwood.
What an AMAZING day at our Share Fair yesterday!
Our students truly blew us away with their incredible projects — they put so much thought, creativity, and time into their work, and it showed in every detail. Yesterday, they had the chance to present their projects to their peers, and the excitement in the room was real!
It was heartwarming to see how proud they were to share what they had learned, and just as wonderful to see their classmates being so supportive, and encouraging.
We are so proud of our young thinkers, creators, and presenters. Way to go, Panthers!!

Earlier this week our students had a blast during Maker Space Monday in Media class! It was amazing to see them exploring, building, and creating while practicing persistence and problem solving working toward their Learning Targets: "I can keep going when something doesn’t go my way." and "I can find new approaches."
Way to go, makers! Keep imagining, building, and learning!

We have a lot going on next week, Panthers!
September 15th to October 15th is a time to honor the rich history, culture, and accomplishments of Hispanic and Latino Americans of past and present.
ESD encourages you to explore the art, enjoy the cuisine, dive into the literature, and learn the stories of Hispanic and Latino Americans with roots in Latin American countries and cultures.

Patriot Day, observed each year on September 11, is a time to remember those who lost their lives in the tragic events of 2001. It is also a day to honor the courage of first responders and the resilience shown by communities across the nation.
We had a big milestone earlier this week at Southwood as we welcomed our kindergartners for their first few days of school! They’re already learning the ropes and settling into routines and we love seeing their “bubbles and ducktails” as they walk the halls! We also held our very first Panther Pride Assembly of the year! We kicked off our new Character Strong program, starting with a Kindness Kickoff — our first graders did an amazing job singing a song all about kindness. We also introduced our September focus: Respect. Next week will be our first five-day week of the year, and we’re excited to keep the positive momentum going strong! Have a great weekend, Panthers! 🐾
We've had such a great start to the school year here at Soutwood! It’s been fun seeing the kids settle in, make new friends, and dive into their school routines. 😊
Enjoy the holiday weekend, Panthers! Stay safe, and we’ll see you all back here on Tuesday!
We had such a great time at last night’s Ice Cream Social! It was wonderful to see our Panther Community back on campus.
We can’t wait to welcome our students back tomorrow and kick off an amazing new school year at Southwood!
Don’t forget! Our Back-to-School Ice Cream Social is coming up Monday from 3:00–4:00 PM here at Southwood!
Come meet your teachers, drop off supplies, say hello to friends, and enjoy a sweet treat from our PTO to kick off the new school year!
We can’t wait to see all of our students and families there!

Our last few days together were packed with memories and milestones we won’t forget. Our end-of-year assembly and 5th grade promotion were full of Panther Pride as we celebrated our students' growth and achievements.
We also said goodbye to three beloved teachers and staff members. Mrs. Bubnick, Mrs. Means, and Mr. Josh — thank you for everything you have done for the students of Southwood! You’ll always be part of the Southwood community.
As the last bell rang, we waved goodbye to our students and sent them off into a well-earned summer break. We’re so proud of each and every one of them! Have a fun and safe summer, Panthers!
What a fun couple of days here at Southwood! The kids had a blast at both the Fun Run on Friday and Field Day today—two awesome days full of running, games, laughter, and sunshine. From cheering on their friends to showing off their best moves in every event, they made some great memories. Huge shoutout to our amazing staff and volunteers who helped make it all happen. Way to go, Panthers!
