We have our house winners! - I'm excited to let everyone know that my students managed another year of studying in their Harry Potter books - Sorcerer's Stone (4th), Chamber of Secrets (5th), Prisoner of Azkaban (6th).
During this time, students were sorted into new and previous houses, where they compete against each other for points to win the house winner title.
Our House Winner is Ravenclaw!
Benjamin, Elysia, & Jake did their best on the test and successfully snatched the title again this year. Ben and Elysia managed to win last year, while this is a first for Jake!
The House Prefects for Following the Rules have been decided!
The Gryffindor Prefect is Braylin Cruz
The Hufflepuff Prefect is Cecille White Bull
The Ravenclaw Prefect is Elysia Gayton
The Slythering Prefect is AirRance McCauley
We also have a new Potion Master - AirRance McCauley!
During our potion making sessions, AirRance paid very close attention to detail and managed to be the only student to successfully make all three potions in all three sessions!
After the awards ceremony, they earned Galleons & Sickles to take turns purchasing items from the Diagon Alley shop.
I hope I can continue this next year, they really enjoyed it. (Definitely)
Can wait to see what happens next year. (Great job Students and Mr. Shell Track)

Selfridge School wants to thank Dakota Community Bak and Trust for grilling hamburgers and hotdogs today for Chieftain Day! Thank you Jim Hornbacher and crew for doing an exceptional job today. Your efforts are really appreciated.
Because let’s be honest… no one deserves sprinkles, frosting, and extra sugar more than teachers in the month of May!
We are truly grateful for our amazing teachers and the dedication, patience, creativity, flexibility, multitasking, problem-solving, tech-supporting, counseling, encouraging, and snack-providing skills you bring every single day. You don’t just teach lessons — you change lives (and occasionally fix broken pencils, broken computers, and broken hearts).
Our donut models of the day — Miss MJ and Miss Bones — did an outstanding job showcasing the goods. We’re currently reviewing modeling contracts for next year’s bakery campaign. 📸🍩 (Had to remind them that the entire box was just for them. LOL)
In all seriousness, we appreciate each and every one of you. Selfridge Public School is a better place because of your hard work, heart, and sense of humor.
Thank you for everything you do, If you see one of our teachers PLEASE thank them.
This year has brought many positive changes, and we are proud of the progress we have made together. Even more exciting improvements are planned for next year, and we look forward to continuing this journey as a team.
We hope you have had the opportunity to enjoy and make good use of your work pad throughout the school year. Tomorrow, we will be following up with a special treat to show our appreciation for all that you do.
A special thank you to Sue for the beautiful artwork — we truly appreciate your creativity and the extra touch you bring to our school.
Thank you for everything you give to our students and our school.
Mr. Sondag & Mr. Mahon
Selfridge Public School wants to give a HUGE shout-out to the incredible educators who make our school such a special place to learn and grow!
Your energy, dedication, and heart for students show up every single day. You inspire curiosity, spark creativity, calm worries, cheer on successes, and somehow manage to do it all with patience and a smile. You are truly the heartbeat of our school!
Because of you, our students don’t just learn lessons from a book — they learn confidence, resilience, kindness, and the belief that they can achieve great things. The impact you make reaches far beyond the classroom walls and lasts a lifetime.
Thank you for the early mornings, the late afternoons, the extra help, the encouraging words, and the unwavering commitment you give to our students and community. We are beyond grateful for each and every one of you.
Selfridge is stronger because of YOU — and we appreciate you more than words can say! 💙💛
Great experience for our staff, students and community to see the beauty of Filipino culture through music, dance, traditions, and delicious food.
Families and friends celebrate! ❤️
Many smiles, stories, and culture activities.
Check out the Pictures!!! Thanks to our Great Pilipino Teachers...
Thank You
