Project Warm-Up Blanket Party - Saturday, December 10th
Attend & Achieve
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!

Our student council held a fundraiser to tape Mr. Helleson to the wall. We raised $556.98 to support the student council, student rewards and future student-driven projects. Thanks to our students and families for your support. And thanks to Mr. Helleson for being a good sport!
We celebrated the end of the 1st Quarter on Friday. Congratulations to our 1st Quarter Top Bees! These students have been nominated by either their classroom teacher, specials teacher, and/or classmates based on good character here at Laura B. Anderson. These are the Top Bees for 3rd thru 5th Grade. We are so proud of you!

Excuse us while we brag for a minute… Our Superintendent is pretty talented! Dr. Jane Stavem is an accomplished pianist, vocalist, trumpet player, French horn player, percussionist, xylophone player… oh, and she also plays harmonica! 😉 These talents, along with her deep love for all things Fine Arts, earned her the honor of Parade Marshal for Festival of Bands 2022! We are proud to be lead by someone who values the role extracurriculars play in “preparing each student to succeed in a changing world!”
