Student and staff recognitions:
Southwood Elementary School
- On the evening of Feb. 26, Southwood Elementary School welcomed several families who braved the worsening road conditions to attend the first Little Knights/Kindergarten Preview Night. Southwood welcomed around 20 families who will have a child at one of those grade levels for the 2020-21 school year.
- This past Saturday, all three Southwood Elementary robotics teams–the Red Circuit Breakers, Gray Circuit Breakers, and the Circuit Knights-competed at the VEX Robotics State Championship at Lucas Oil Stadium. Each elementary division consisted of 67 teams. Red finished 38th; the Circuit Knights finished 40th; and the Gray team finished 41st in their division. The goal of reaching this level began back in August/September as teams were being selected. All throughout the season, students lived the “Dream Big & Work Hard” mantra through their hard work, collaboration, and perseverance. We were blessed by three great coaches this season – Mrs. Erica Tyson, Mrs. Amy Schmidt, and Mr. Dan Wright. The robotics team parents were a huge support system throughout the season. Southwood Elementary would like to thank the MSD leadership and the community partners that make it possible for students to have this kind of an opportunity.
