Our end-of-the-year Field Day was a total hit! Every student had a blast, and it was incredible to see our JH and HS students step up as supportive mentors throughout the day. Huge thanks to Misty for organizing such a fun and meaningful event to wrap up the year!

State Track update! Dellana got 7th in high jump! Way to go Dellana!
Are you ready for the A-C Field Day - first race is set and on the way! Come join in the fun!
State Track update! Dellana got 10th in the 100-meter hurdles. This means she is in the top 10 for 1A hurdlers in the state. Congrats, Dellana!
Life throws a lot at us — and having the right tools can make all the difference. One powerful (and simple!) technique I’ve been exploring lately is called The Pendulum Technique.
🌀 It’s a somatic practice that helps gently guide your nervous system from a state of stress or overwhelm back toward calm and balance.
🔄 How it works:
You mindfully shift your attention between a distressing sensation or memory and a neutral or pleasant one — like the rhythm of a pendulum. This back-and-forth helps your body learn it’s safe to return to a regulated state, building resilience over time.
💡 Think of it like emotional weightlifting: each “rep” builds strength in handling stress without getting stuck in it.
Whether you're managing anxiety, burnout, or just a tough day, this is one more gentle, grounded way to support yourself. 🌿

🎉🐾 Our LAST Panther Claw of the year! 🐾🎉
It was the perfect way to wrap up an amazing year—with the 6th graders joining us to celebrate and end on a high note! The energy, the pride, the unity… what a send-off!
But don’t get too comfortable—our Heads of Houses are meeting this summer to plan something BIG. Get ready for the most epic House Party in all of Wyoming when we return this fall!
You won’t want to miss it.

🏏📚 Move Up Day Fun with 4th & 5th Grade! 📚🏏
Today, the 4th graders joined Mr. B in the 5th grade classroom for Move Up Day, and the theme was all about the international sport of cricket!
They explored the game through reading and math activities in the morning and then had an absolute blast learning how to play in the afternoon! What a fun way to learn, connect, and get excited for what’s ahead! 🐾

Quick facts about Mental Health
Despite progress in mental health initiatives, more than 30 million people in the U.S. still lack access to comprehensive, high-quality care. These statistics highlight the ongoing need for Mental Health Awareness Month and the importance of bringing attention to this disparity:
1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness each year.
1 in 20 U.S. adults experience serious mental illness each year.
1 in 6 U.S. youth have a mental health condition, but only half receive treatment.
50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14, and 75% by age 24.
In 2023, 20% of all high school students seriously considered suicide.

SHERIDAN COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT #3 NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT NEW RULES FOR EMPLOYEES AND VOLUNTEERS WHO CONCEAL CARRY FIREARMS
🎉🎊🎉🎊Student of the month alert!! Our K-6 Student of the Month from April was Mr. Tate Bassett! 🎊🎉🎊🎉
This is what Tate's nominating teacher had to say about him:
"Tate Bassett is an exemplary candidate for Student of the Month, having become an inspiring classroom leader. His passion for mathematics shines through in his ability to enthusiastically tackle complex problems and share his deep background knowledge, fostering engaging discussions that elevate the entire class. His commitment to the Panther Way is evident in his consistent effort to improve academically and personally, setting a powerful example for his peers. Beyond the classroom, Tate demonstrates remarkable dedication by working diligently outside school, managing livestock responsibly. This hard work and positive attitude make him a student that every teacher and classmate would be fortunate to have in their class."
Congratulations again, Tate!! You deserve it! 🥳
🎉🎊Please celebrate our 7-12 #SourcesOfStrength Student of the Month from the month of April, Callie Odegard! 🎊🎉
Here is what Callie's nominating teacher had to say about her:
"Callie Odegard brightens students’ and staff members’ days by bringing a positive attitude wherever she goes. Whether she knows it or not, her positivity is contagious. I can see a shift in other students' moods and behaviors after interacting with Callie. Another reason I appreciate her is because she puts her full effort in everyday! She’s always striving to be the best that she can be. In class, Callie is not afraid to ask for clarification if something is not making sense or if she would like to try a problem again. I know that Callie will not settle for good enough, but will strive for perfection. She is able to take feedback well and apply it without becoming upset or discouraged. The final reason I would like to nominate Callie for student of the month is because her name came up when collecting nominations from classmates for a student chosen award in class. Not only did she receive multiple nominations, but she received comments on the nominations such as “she puts in the work to make our music sound better”, “she is always happy, encouraging, and helpful”, and “she really tries her best.” Reading these comments from other classmates solidified my thoughts that Callie has been going above and beyond, and it is being noticed not only by staff but by classmates as well!"
‼️‼️Callie, you represent our school so well! Thanks for all you do!!‼️‼️
An adventure was had in Torrington for Regional Track!
Many personal records were made. The girls had good enough marks to go to State Track next weekend. Tylynn will be doing high jump. Brindle will be doing the 300 hurdles. Lastly, Dellana will be high jumping, running the 100m hurdles and throwing Discus.
GO PANTHERS!
