Congratulations to Sheila Albright, Special Education Teacher at Kennedy Elementary, on being named this week’s Gov Cup Winner! Sheila’s attitude, effort, and commitment to the Pierre School District truly set the tone for what we want our district to be about. Her love and care for all students are evident every single day in the way she approaches her work and supports those around her. Sheila brings a “find a way, not a way out” attitude to everything she does, and that mindset resonates throughout the Kennedy Elementary building. She tackles challenges with positivity, determination, and an unwavering focus on doing what is best for kids.
Thank you, Sheila, for all you do for our students, your colleagues, and the Pierre School District. You represent what it means to be a Governor!
The Governor football team was awesome again Friday night, but don't forget about that BAND!
Under the direction of Mr. Gage Ruhlman, the Emerald Regiment Marching Band delivered an amazing performance, bringing energy, excitement, and school spirit to another memorable night under the Friday Night Lights. Great job, Emerald Regiment! 🎶💚🏈
