Sra. Landry is doing a Spanish book drive, “Libros para todos” to Honduras. We all know how important literacy is for the world, especially in a place that doesn't have the same access to beautiful books. With just one book, you would make a world of difference to more than one child.
Thank you SSE Families for all your support!!

Augustana professor Dr. Pilar Cabrera Fonte brought her Spanish students to perform for our 1st grade students! The kids loved it!!
Your preteen is navigating their first summer without childcare. Older siblings are caring for younger siblings at home and meal preparation is a little too much responsibility. You’ve hired a teenage companion to take your kids to the parks, camps, and activities but this means funds are tight for food.
These are all real scenarios playing out in homes and apartments across Sioux Falls. That’s why the Sioux Falls School District is proud to, once again, offer free breakfasts and lunches to all children, ages 1-18 during June and July 2023.
Using meal counts from previous summers, the Office of Child Nutrition established a schedule for breakfast to be offered at eight schools on Tuesdays through Thursdays. Lunch will be served Mondays through Thursdays at six locations and Monday through Friday at two locations. The schedule will be emailed to SFSD families and will be posted on the District’s website: sf.k12.sd.us. No income eligibility paperwork is required..

Our Art Show is under way! We have some very creative students! And some pretty awesome art teachers! Thank you Tessa VanRavenswaay and Mariya Pabst for guiding these young artists.
We have become aware of a scam circulating that appears as if SFSD Child Nutrition Coordinator Gay Anderson is asking people to go out and purchase large dollar amounts of gift cards. Gay has NOT sent out a text or an email. Her communication devices appear to have been hacked. Please delete any communication and do not follow through with the request. We apologize for this inconvenience.
We are so excited for our Talent Show!
