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.

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!

Sioux Falls Skyforce players #7-Mychal Mulder and #11-Justin Champagnie visited Hawthorne Elementary classroom 302 on March 23rd. Just a few questions asked by students were:
How tall are you, how hard was it to get into basketball, what made you want to join Skyforce, what is it like being a basketball player...
Mychal and Justin talked to the kids about changing bad choices into good choices and to always try and set goals. They said they dedicate a lot of time and effort into being the best they can be every day..

SFSD would like to give a huge shout-out to our partners at Delta Dental who visit schools to complete much-needed dental work for eligible students! Cleanings, cavities, and root canals are all done in the mobile bus, so students don’t have to miss school for an appointment! You put a smile on our faces, Delta Dental! Thank you!
