All it takes is one kind word, one kind act, to be the difference that someone needs. That’s the powerful message shared Wednesday night at the Rachel’s Challenge community presentation at Aberdeen Central High School. “I’m asking you to speak with kindness because your words have power,” said presenter Veda Tucker. “If someone is standing on the edge of life, your words have the power to either push them over the edge or to pull them back. That's how powerful our words are.” As part of her visit this week, Veda also worked with students at CHS, Holgate and Simmons middle schools. She shared the message of the Rachel’s Challenge program, which was created in honor of Rachel Scott, a victim of the 1999 Columbine school shooting who left behind a legacy of compassion. Thank you, Veda, for delivering this message of kindness and compassion to our schools and our community!

The AC v Brandon soccer game on Saturday (9/2) has been moved ahead due to projected heat index. Girls will play at 10:30am followed by the boys game. This is a time change. Go Eagles!

Our students heard a powerful message about kindness and compassion at Rachel’s Challenge events held at Holgate and Simmons middle schools. On Wednesday, a community presentation will take place at 7 p.m. at CHS. Plan to attend! https://www.aberdeen.k12.sd.us/article/1214790

Thanks to a recent remodeling project, the O.M. Tiffany Elementary School library now features lighting that’s repurposed from recycled globes! Nine globes have been transformed into light fixtures that hang from the library’s ceiling. The lights were created by Aberdeen Public Schools Director of Operations Ben Schnell, who said he wanted to do something with this project that would set the room apart from other library spaces. Well done, Mr. Schnell! #AberdeenPublicSchools #GoEagles
