SAC Student Council Scholarship Award

On Tuesday, May 6t, the Sacajawea Student Council attended the Caldwell High School Scholarship Assembly.  The Student Council was in attendance in order to present a scholarship to a Sacajawea Alumni.

Throughout the year, students have been selling jerky at lunch, and selling pencils through a pencil dispenser in the cafeteria, in order to earn money for this scholarship.  Through these efforts, they were able to present a $250 to Calley Ames.  Calley is an alumni of Sacajawea, and was selected by the student leadership team (President, Vice President, and Secretary) from a number of applicants.

The Student Council stood proudly on the CHS stage in front of the entire junior and senior class, as Callie Mae White gave a short speech to announce the recipient.  This was a fabulous experience for the students, and they received a warm welcome from the audience.  We are very proud of all of them and thankful they had this exciting opportunity.

Skyhawks Ran 5k and 10k on Saturday

Staff and students from Sacajawea Elementary participated in the recent West Valley Medical 5k/10k to support the Caldwell YMCA.

Ricky C, a fifth grade Skyhawk, was the only youth to participate in the 10k run.

Way to go Ricky!

Storyteller Takes our 4th & 5th Graders On An Adventure

Steven Henegar Weaves a Tale

Friday morning the 4th & 5th grade students at Sacajawea were treated to story adventures. Steven Henegar, a professional storyteller from Salem, OR had us imagining getting bit in the "wallet" by an eight month old lion, a tall tale about the beginnings of a lake in Oklahoma, and a Japanese story of good luck.  We also joined together in the making of turnip soup.

We Pull a Turnip

Mr. Heneger was brought to us by the generous supporters of Caldwell Fine Arts and our PTO. He challenged us to find the stories around us, to remember them, to develop them and to tell them and keep re-telling them.
