Congratulations to this week’s Golden Eagle Athlete of the Week, Taryn Hermansen of the CHS Girls Basketball Team!

Here’s what Coach Paiton Burckhard had to say:

“Taryn Hermansen put on an outstanding performance on Saturday afternoon against the Yankton Gazelles. She was nearly unstoppable offensively, knocking down 12 of her 15 shots totaling 25 points. Hermansen also owned the boards with 10 rebounds, showcasing her all-around impact on the game. Beyond the stat line, she sets the tone with her energy, toughness, and composure, leading by example on every possession, practice and team situation. Taryn continues to be a driving force for our team, providing strong leadership both on and off the court and raising the level of play for everyone around her.”

Students in Ms. Gross’ class are wrapping up their Descriptive Writing Unit with a creative culminating activity! Working in pairs, students became real estate agents for Reindeer Realty, writing vivid descriptive paragraphs to “sell” their gingerbread houses.

To bring their writing to life, students designed and built their gingerbread houses using cardboard and other materials, focusing on details that matched their descriptions.

On Friday, 6th and 7th grade students will tour the neighborhood and “purchase” the houses that best match the written descriptions. 🎄🏠✏️

Congratulations to this week’s Golden Eagle Athlete of the Week, Kenadi Withers!

Kenadi had a phenomenal first weekend of the basketball season. She sparked the team’s offense in both games on Friday and Saturday and was relentless on the boards, grabbing a total of 16 rebounds over the weekend. On Saturday, she recorded a double-double in the game against Rapid City Stevens. Her effort and energy were noticeable, making her a key contributor to the team’s strong start to the season!
