Getting to know Sadie Bode: 

• What is your favorite game to play?

“I like animal games.  I like to pretend to be an animal that is magical– such as a 9-tailed fox.  It’s fun because you get to pretend to have powers!”

• If money were no object, what gift would you purchase for a family member?

“I would buy my family a fox for a pet.”

• What brings you the most joy?  What annoys you the most?

“When my two dogs, Odie and Rosie, play with me brings me joy.  Loud noises like screaming is annoying.”

"Sadie is an absolute joy to have in the classroom!” said Ms. Heather Jeffers, Sadie’s first-grade teacher. “She is a true leader in more than just one way: through the kind words she uses, considerate choices made, and responsible practices observed. Sadie chooses to love and respect everyone. She also chooses to greet each new task or activity with excitement and only turns in as complete when she feels it’s her very best work. We are so proud of you, Sadie!”
