What a joy to celebrate with our amazing Lion community! ๐ฆ Thank you to our students, staff, and families for an awesome first quarter! #SFISLionPride
Nine weeks of hard work and good behavior at the IS gets you one doozy of a fun-filled assembly! With wacky games recognizing RIASEC (the RIASEC box-stacking Race), and the SF Way: Be Safe (Jellyfish Juke game), Be Kind (Dance Party), Be Responsible (Balloon Bounce) -- students and teachers were wrapping up the week, and the quarter, in style! It's hard to imagine that anyone in South Fayette couldn't hear the thunder of energy and enthusiasm radiating from the IS Gym this afternoon!

An amazing afternoon introducing 5th graders to Hugo Cabret! ๐
โYou know, machines never have any extra parts. They have the exact number and type of parts they need. So I figure if the entire world is a big machine, I have to be here for some reason, too.โ
A new tradition kicked off today! Each week two staff members will be celebrated for encouraging students to live The South Fayette Way! Our first two winners were Mrs. Angela Johnson and Mrs. Karley Rossi! #SFISLionPride#TheSouthFayetteWay
10,000 moments of recognizing positive student behavior and building positive relationships between teachers and students! What a great reason to celebrate! #SFISLionPride#TheSouthFayetteWay#PBIS
What a great day to be a 4th grade Lion! We celebrated Ss and Ts for hitting the goal of 10K lion cards! Incredible!! #SFISLionPride#TheSouthFayetteWay#PBIS
Top 1%!! What a beautiful testament to the student-centered, innovative work of our incredible staff! The real honor is being able to witness it each day! ๐#SFISLionPride
A huge roar of Lion Pride for the Intermediate School who was ranked today by "US News and World Report" in the Top 1% of Elementary Schools in Pennsylvania -- #36 of 3,216! WOW!
#sflionpride
(BTW, the ES was not ranked, most districts don't have separate schools in K-5.)
Celebrating our Ss is always one of the best parts of my week!
I was filled with Lion Pride when one of our winners couldnโt stop smiling as she told me, โMy whole class cheered for me! It was so cool!โ ๐๐ฆ
One of the best afternoons of the year! Families, please be sure to complete and return the โHopes & Dreams for your SFIS Lionโ form that was in your Meet the Teacher packet. We are looking forward to working together to make those dreams come true! #SFISLionPride
Looking forward to the sharing, networking, and learning that will take place at this yearโs SAS Institute! Be sure to stop by our session to learn more about @PGHWorldofWork!
The "U.S. News and World Report" Best Elementary School Rankings for 2023-24 are out, and South Fayette ranks in the top 2% in the state! Students and teachers, keep up the amazing work! ๐๐ค๐ฆ

Did you attend an โIntro to RIASECโ session with @DrDeichlerSF & @ashli_detweiler? If so, please see the learning opportunity for @TRETC2024. We will unpack career units in Grades 2-5 and learn how to implement our framework in your school district. https://t.co/NnqxXfsZcM
When you walk through the lunch line and hear a 3rd grader say, *so this is how they do it at the Intermediate School!* Our cafeteria staff is the BEST! #SFISLionPride
Celebration Sneak Peek! Our hallways and learning spaces are decked out with evidence of learning! We canโt wait to see you at 6pm! Look for paw prints that identify our SF Lion Learner traits! #SFISLionPride
Hearing some of my former first graders present their own business plans was the highlight of my day! What an honor to witness their learning journey! #SFISLionPride
Dana Populoโs fifth grade entrepreneurs pitched their business ideas during a mini expo this morning. After learning about entrepreneurs within the World of Work program, they simulated the career by developing a business plan, creating advertising materials, and presenting them to classmates and educators.
#SFLionPride
So inspired by these thoughtful SFIS students! Today they spread kindness throughout the building by surprising staff members with messages of appreciation! #SFISLionPride
