Your Sturgis Scoopers will host a first-round football playoff game tomorrow, Thursday, October 30, at Woodle Field. Kickoff is set for 6:00 p.m.
Because this is a South Dakota High School Activities Association (SDHSAA) playoff event, a few important reminders:
💵Admission: $7 for adults and $5 for students (set by the SDHSAA Board of Directors).
All fans, including Meade School District students and children, must pay admission. Season passes are not valid for playoff games.
Event Guidelines: Signs, banners, flags, noise makers, and balls are not allowed at SDHSAA playoff games. Only official signage approved by the SDHSAA, Bands of the Day, or media outlets is permitted.
📣Let’s pack Woodle Field, cheer loud, and show our Scooper pride as the team kicks off postseason play!
Go Scoopers!




As we head into our final home regular-season football game before the playoffs, I want to thank you for your continued support of Scooper Activities. This week’s matchup against Spearfish is an important one with postseason implications, as well as Go Gold and Senior Night. We’re expecting a great atmosphere and a very large crowd.
With that in mind, we’re asking for your assistance during the game. In recent weeks, we’ve had a number of younger students gathering near the concession and restroom areas or leaving the field to play in the park. For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, we ask that if your child attends the game, they stay with you in the stands to watch and cheer on the Scoopers.
Please also remind your child to leave balls and other play equipment at home to help reduce congestion and distractions around the complex.
We appreciate your help in keeping our events safe, enjoyable, and focused on supporting our student-athletes. The far west section of the bleachers will be available for families with middle school or elementary students.
Thank you for your cooperation and continued support—let’s make it a great night for Scooper football!
Go Scoopers!
Mr. Jade Temple
Activities Director
Sturgis Brown High School

Dental Bus Coming to Sturgis Elementary!
The Delta Dental Mobile Program is coming to Sturgis Elementary September 15-19, 2025. They provide dental exams, preventive services, cleanings, and cavity fillings at no charge for students who have not seen a local dentist in over 2 years, or those who live more than 85 miles from the nearest dentist. Prioritization will be given to children without private dental insurance or a home dentist.
If you are interested in having your child visit the dental bus, please contact the office at 605-347-2386. Paperwork must be completed and given to the school nurse to schedule your child. This service is open to all students in Meade School District.

Today, Wednesday, August 20, all staff gathered for the annual in-service. The morning kicked off with a light breakfast, vendors, and fun giveaways—setting the tone for a positive and energized start to the year!
