Give Your Child A Healthy Smile!
Nearly 1 in 4 South Dakota children has untreated tooth decay. It is the #1 chronic disease of childhood, but nearly 100% of cavities can be prevented.
A toothache can make it hard for a child to eat, sleep and pay attention at school. Untreated tooth decay can cause pain bad enough to miss school or even visit the emergency room.
Delta Dental has two trucks that travel the state giving quality dental care to children who can't afford or access a dentist because of cost, lack of insurance, transportation, or other reasons.
One of Delta Dental’s trucks is coming to our school:
Dates: January 17-20. 2023
Location: Laura B Anderson Elementary School
If your child has not seen an area dentist for two years this is a great way to give your child a healthy smile.
There is no cost to the child or family. No insurance is necessary. A full range of dental services are offered, including exams, cleanings, preventive treatments, and cavity fillings.
For more information contact: Laura B Anderson Elementary at 605-367-6130

One of our second grade classrooms read the book Balloons over Broadway: The True Story of the Puppeteer of Macy's Parade. The students designed and created their own balloons and then they paraded thru the school before Thanksgiving break.
Reminder - No School - Wednesday, November 23 through Friday, November 25. Happy Thanksgiving!
2nd-4th grade students are making turkey mazes during library. Mrs. Savage read the book "Turkey Trouble" by Wendi Silvano. The students were given the task to make a maze for the turkey to hide in and confuse the farmer from catching him.
It was fun to see the students engaged in the project and working well together. They also had the chance to walk around and solve each other's mazes.

And with a blink of an eye, we are already a quarter way through the 2022-2023 school year! The second quarter is here, and it’s a busy one! While this time of year tends to get chaotic, it’s important to remember how crucial student attendance is. Chronic absenteeism is a serious problem in South Dakota - a problem SFSD is committed to improving. Missing just two days a month can hurt a student’s grades and increase their chance of dropping out. Make sure your student is on the path to a bright future – and that starts in the classroom!
