🗳️✨ Today, our SIS third graders stepped into the shoes of school board members for Thirdville, a special SIS tradition that teaches civic responsibility. Students, with the help of SISD Board President Brad Cravens and Superintendent Matt Kimball, debated budget items (like a new bus), weighed community input on extending recess, and learned how board decisions are made, even when votes aren’t unanimous. They also asked Superintendent Kimball great questions about construction updates and more.
👏 We're proud of our young leaders for thinking critically, collaborating, and discovering what it means to serve our school community.

The morning began with a breakfast in the library for area veterans, followed by a recognition ceremony in the gym.
The Raider Band opened the program with theme songs for each branch of the military, and the SHS choir performed the "Star-Spangled Banner." Elementary students entertained guests with three patriotic songs. Additionally, the poem "I Am a Veteran" by Andrea C. Brett was shared.
Rows of white chairs adorned with single white roses, the Nick Sloan Memorial Row, were arranged as a solemn tribute to deceased veterans. An Honor Roll for Sunnyvale area veterans was also called.
The ceremony concluded with the choir performing a version of "Taps" and the band closing with Sousa’s spirited "Three Cheers for the Red, White, and Blue."
