Sonia Sotomayor Families! On Friday, December 9th, our Specials teachers will be providing a service learning project with our students. Our hope is that our children understand that no matter how young they are, they have the power to positively impact the life of another person. During grade level Specials on Friday the 9th, students will be tying blankets for Project Warm-Up. We are in need of volunteers to assist the groups on Friday as well as volunteers all week to cut the blanket strips. The cutting task is an easy one! No prior experience is necessary! We have created a sign-up sheet for those who are interested in signing up for a time slot. You can check that out and sign up here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12lVPajvSvGGRzkeJThMhGZIxQ9f7mr38surFXazjusA/edit

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!

Celebrating Dìa de los Muertos is like a family reunion, except dead ancestors are the guests of honor. Take a look at our, ofrendas! They are a way to keep the memory of that person alive through the annual tradition of remembering what they loved to do, eat, drink and look like. #Lobos #Onepack #juntos

Celebrating Día de los Muertos! Every year on November 1st, people in the country of Mexico observe Día de Los Muertos, which is translated as the Day of the Dead. This is a day for Mexicans to welcome the souls of their deceased relatives back for a brief reunion. The day is not one of mourning, but instead an opportunity to portray death in a positive light, as a part of the human experience. ¡Feliz Día de los Muertos! #Llbos #Juntos #OnePack

This week our students will be learning about the traditions of Día de Muertos, a tradition to remember family members and friends who have passed away. In Mexico, many families make an ofrenda (altar) in their homes to pay tribute to their loved ones who have passed on. Our school also currently has an ofrenda on display. Students are welcome to bring photos of loved ones who have passed away to display on the ofrenda. Students may bring the photos to the school office tomorrow, November 1. The photos will be on display through November 2 and will be sent home on Thursday, November 3. #Diadelosmuertos #Lobos #OnePack
