Tea Area Venture Elementary

Third graders spent Tuesday at the baseball field! It was a chilly day for baseball, but they enjoyed a day at the Bird Cage watching a Sioux Falls Canaries game! They even managed to grab a couple of foul balls!

Can you believe it’s the last day of school? It’s been a great year at Venture for the 2025-26 school year. We hope that you have a great summer, and we can’t wait to see you again in the fall!!

4h graders enjoyed a beautiful day at the State Theater, as well as some time downtown at Jacobson Plaza.

What beautiful weather for a great day outside! Today, our JK–2nd grade students enjoyed their Fun Day, and it was a blast. Students rotated through four different stations, keeping the energy high all day long. The highlight was definitely the tug-of-war station—especially with some parents joining in on the fun!

Fourth graders ventured over to the Tea Area Historical Museum, where they explored artifacts from the past. Volunteers were on hand to share their knowledge and help students better understand what they were seeing, bringing history to life in a meaningful way!

Thank you to DeGeest Corporation for giving a tour to our Venture 5th-grade students! Students are learning about robotics in their technology class with Ms. Gass, so this was a great real-world connection. We really appreciate the opportunity for our students to see this in action!

What a fun afternoon at Venture! Third-grade students proudly showcased their hard work and research through their Wax Museum character presentations—job well done to everyone involved!

What a fun day in jk/Kindergarten! Ava’s final senior project, March Mentoring, brought students from Tea Area High School and members of NHS to read and spend time with our jk/kindergarteners this afternoon. Our students loved every minute of it! Thank you to the high school students for taking time out of your day to visit and connect with our kids.

This week, 1st graders had their first of four lessons from Chicks in the Classroom. They will be here once a week for the month of March. Students will also get to observe some eggs in an incubator.

Next week kicks off Read Across America week. Join in the fun with some dress up days!
