Career Day 2024 @ Sutton Elementary was epic! We had 26 stations each showcasing a unique career with several Sutton Alumni in the bunch.
Special thanks to all Career Day Guests!
It was a GREAT State testing week at Sutton Elementary! Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders not only had perfect attendance on the first two days of testing, but they arrived at school on time, and gave their Good Faith Effort. After testing each morning, we also enjoyed a little fun in the afternoon. Here are some highlights of Survivor for 3rd-5th, Ice-Cream incentive for 3rd and 4th, and Foam Party incentive for 5th. Thank you Sutton families, staff, and PTO for helping our students have a successful week on State testing.
Due to the threat of severe weather around our normal dismissal time, Owensboro Public Schools will be releasing early today, May 8, 2024. The dismissal schedule will run as follows:

Thank you Sutton PTO for rewarding our entire school with Kona Ice for great success on their iReady Reading and Math tests.
Thank you to Ms. Cheryl and Ms. Catherine for a lovely evening of delicious taste testing and unique crafts! Some 5th grade families enjoyed a Spring Garden Salad, Tilapia with Pineapple Salsa, Turkey & Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner, and a Strawberry Trifle!! All families and participants went home with a “Salad in a Bowl” complete with a pot, potting soil, and seeds to grow lettuce at home! Thank you to the UK Extension Office for such a fun night!
Sutton 4th graders did some hands-on learning today in Science class. They dissected cow eyes 👀
