Happy Principals Day, Mr. Keough! The rain couldn’t stop us from celebrating you—with a few fun, heartfelt shenanigans, of course. Thank you for leading with humor, patience, and the dedication that makes our school such a great place. You keep everything running smoothly and still make time for all of us—we truly appreciate it! We promise not to “reply all”… unless it’s to say how much we appreciate you! And shoutout to our staff rocking purple today—Geaux Tigers! 💜💛

It’s that magical time of year again when students practice their very best persuasive writing skills and put them to work on the most important cause of all: convincing Mr. Keough to say “yes.” From donut parties, to class pets, to special lunches, the requests keep rolling in. The real question is, how long can Mr. Keough hold out before giving in this year?

Mrs. Goetzke, kind and sweet,
Greeting smiles in every hall we meet.
With high-fives, house points, and stories to share,
She shows every student how much she cares.

From busy mornings to lunch time fun,
She cheers us on till the day is done.
With laughter, learning, and hearts so true,
Sippel shines brighter because of you!

Thank you for all you do for our campus Mrs. Goetzke!

Our school is a better place because of Mrs. Morales, who fills our library with brightness, kindness, and curiosity each and every day. From helping students find the perfect book, to creating a space where everyone feels welcome, she truly inspires a love of reading and learning in all of us.

Mrs. Morales, thank you for your endless patience, your willingness to always lend a helping hand, and the magic you bring to our library. You don’t just check out books—you open doors to imagination, adventure, and possibility.

We are so lucky to have you! Happy National School Librarians Day!
