Your preteen is navigating their first summer without childcare. Older siblings are caring for younger siblings at home and meal preparation is a little too much responsibility. You’ve hired a teenage companion to take your kids to the parks, camps, and activities but this means funds are tight for food.
These are all real scenarios playing out in homes and apartments across Sioux Falls. That’s why the Sioux Falls School District is proud to, once again, offer free breakfasts and lunches to all children, ages 1-18 during June and July 2023.
Using meal counts from previous summers, the Office of Child Nutrition established a schedule for breakfast to be offered at eight schools on Tuesdays through Thursdays. Lunch will be served Mondays through Thursdays at six locations and Monday through Friday at two locations. The schedule will be emailed to SFSD families and will be posted on the District’s website: sf.k12.sd.us. No income eligibility paperwork is required..

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.
We had a great time at our Family Bingo Night! We raised $1044 to be used for attendance incentives. Thank you to our friends at Oak Hills Baptist Church for supplying the prize baskets. Thank you to Chariots for Children for the donated bikes. Thanks to Coke for donating the beverages. And thanks for everyone who came out to support your school!
