5th Grade & Kindergarten Celebrations

Happy Principal Appreciation Day to our amazing South Putnam Principals! We appreciate everything you do for our students and staff!

For the second year, all 2nd grade students were invited to attend the Outdoor Experience at DePauw. Our students took two short hikes to experience sounds and sights in nature. One hike was blindfolded, which made the students rely on their other senses. South Putnam students were leaders in the activities. It was a fun day for all!

🚌 Happy School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! 💙 Today, we celebrate the dedicated team of bus drivers at South Putnam Community School Corporation—the everyday heroes who ensure our Eagles get to and from school safely, with a smile. From early mornings to all-weather driving, they go the extra mile—literally and figuratively—to support our students. Their patience, kindness, and professionalism set the tone for a positive school day and make them an essential part of our school family. 👏 Thank you, South Putnam bus drivers, for all you do! You represent the best of our school spirit, safety, and service. #SouthPutnam #ThankYouDrivers #EaglePride #SchoolBusDriverAppreciationDay

Water service was restored to Central Elementary late Friday afternoon after the earlier water main break.

We appreciate your teamwork and patience! #EaglePride #Teamwork #SouthPutnamStrong
