📣 Our Domino's Pizza Fundraiser starts today! The money we raise will go toward remodeling our playground to make it safer and more inclusive for our students, with a goal of $10,000. 🍕 Each card is just $20 and gets you buy-one-get-one-free large pizzas at Domino's. It's good through June 30, 2027 and pays for itself the first time you use it. Watch this short video to see how it works: slicethepricecard.com/day1 Here's all you do: 1. Register your participant and pick a prize: Register.Dominos.cards/54794 2. They get their own store link. Share it by text, email, and social. Buyers go straight to their store and we ship the card to them, and the personal link makes sure they get the credit. From your dashboard, you can also add customers to your email campaign. Your participant earns the prize from the highest level they reach, and can even choose to plant trees for the environment! 🎁 Three more ways to win: • Our group's top seller each week wins a $50 gift card (when we sell 100+ cards that week). • The top 3 sellers in the country each week each win a $100 gift card of their choice. • The first 3 groups to hit 200 cards in a week win $100 bonus cash for the group!

Our sign may show its age with a little bit of moss, but the traditions established decades ago are as strong and vibrant as ever! 🦅✨

For over sixty years, South Haven Elementary has been woven directly into the history of our entire community. We are so much more than just a school building—we are a living legacy built on Kindness, Perseverance, and Responsibility.

Notice the moss on our historic entryway sign? It’s a wonderful reminder of all the "first days" and "last days" this campus has witnessed since 1959. We honor the families, teachers, and community members who laid our foundation, and we are proud to carry those rich traditions forward today.

💬 We’d love to hear from our Hawk family! Did you or someone in your family attend South Haven? Drop a comment below with your favorite memory or the year you attended! 👇
