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.

Congratulations to LBA 5th grade band students on a successful year in beginning band! The LBA 5th grade band students recently played a concert at Whittier Middle School with approximately 150 5th grade band students from Anne Sullivan Elementary, Cleveland Elementary, Terry Redlin Elementary, Laura B. Anderson Elementary, and Eugene Field as one large band. Whittier’s Jazz Band also performed for all of the students. This was an excellent concert and a great way to get a head start on meeting new classmates for next year.

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!
