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.

Recently, local snow plow drivers stopped by Ben Reifel to share about their jobs. Students in Mrs. Brosz' class had the opportunity to speak with them and share homemade goodies to show appreciation for all of the hard work they have done this winter. Thank you for all that you do for our community! ❤️
The stats are troubling-47% of SFSD students qualify for free/reduced lunches. Their family's income is not enough to make ends meet. That makes it difficult to support school fundraisers. Operation Hope & Caring helps! Get your tickets to the SF STORM game to support schools!

Seventh grade OSO students attended the USD Building Bridges event. Students were honored to listen to Lakota educator-advocate-filmmaker Jim Warne speak. What a fantastic opportunity and experience.

National History Day Announcement
Each year in 8th grade accelerated Social Studies, students participate in NHD, National History Day. For six months, students research, analyze and create a project based around an annual theme. This year's theme was Frontier's: People, Places and Ideas. In February, we hosted a building competition to determine who would move onto the Regional Contest and 28 students qualified. At the regional contest, two of those students qualified for the state contest in Brookings, SD: Sophie Elsen (exhibit- The Radium Girls) and Jasmine Wyant (performance- Catherine Parr: A Protestant Queen). Both students did a fabulous job of representing our school and we are excited to announce that Jasmine qualified for the National Contest with a first-place finish in her category. We are proud of you! Congrats!
Congratulations! These students were selected Student of the Month for March! Thank you for demonstrating the Bison Way! We are proud of you! ❤️💛
