The Kindergarten classes took a field trip to The Butterfly House!

3rd graders studied theme and main idea by planning and performing a Native American Cherokee story called “Possum’s Tail.” Students worked together to act out the story - complete with props, costumes, and set pieces - all student made and completely student run!
103 had two students from Augustana University come teach a lesson as part of their Arts, Movement and Wellness class. Students learned about 3D shapes by using their bodies to make forms and created castles as a group.

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..

This past weekend EFA+ presented The Wizard of Oz!
We are so proud of our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders who committed so much time and effort putting on this magical show.
There's no place like EFA+

Please see the image below for some upcoming family opportunities:
The kindergarten and 5th grade students got to try out their jazz hands and some beginner-friendly jazz dance moves in their second week with guest teacher, Maria Travers. They started their warm-up to a jazz version of “If I Only Had A Brain,” in a nod to their upcoming musical. After practicing some jazz footwork, the 5th graders danced to an upbeat song that put together their budding knowledge of French ballet terms and the joy of partnering up for swing dance!
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 proud to announce the Sioux Falls School District has been named a #BestCommunitiesforMusicEducation from @nammfoundation for its outstanding commitment to music education! Congratulations to our music educators, our talented students, and our community for your support!
2nd and 3rd graders have been working hard in the Art.
They have been learning about why we have museums, how art and artifacts are displayed in a gallery space, and the job of a curator.
They applied what they learned by creating their own Mini Museum.
