Here at South Park Elementary School, we recognize just how hard our students and staff work, and we want to celebrate just how our hard work comes together to create an amazing, inspiring and successful for our Broncs to thrive and grow in! At the end of each month, we have a Leader in Me assembly to acknowledge our diligent students that have been working hard as fantastic leaders with one another and through their studies since the beginning of this new school year – and we recognize that to help our students be the best leaders they can be in our school, that means to lead by example.
For our first Leader in Me assembly of the school year, we proudly recognize a teacher that has helped lead students in their self-growth journeys to be their best and favorite selves in an environment where they feel loved, inspired, and empowered in both their minds and hearts!
Congratulations to our third-grade teacher Madisen Burgers for being nominated as Teacher of the Month for August 2024!

This nomination is something that the students themselves submit it, providing the teacher’s name of who they wish to potentially receive this award, along with providing their own reason why they believe that teacher should be recognized as the Teacher of the Month! Mrs. Burgers not only received a trophy labeled with Belle Fourche Elementary Teacher of the Month, applause and enthusiastic cheers from staff and students at the assembly, but also a little something to remember her impact on the lives of her students and inspire her on her diligent and passionate teacher journey: A journal to keep with her that says the truest of words - You Make a Difference!
