The 4th Annual Everybody Reads is officially underway for the month of March! Everybody Reads is a collaborative initiative with Siouxland Libraries designed to inspire a love of reading in SFSD schools and the broader community. This year’s theme is "Reach for a Sweet Read." The SFSD’s goal is to have 350,000 books read by March 31. If the goal is reached, the SFSD will donate to its friends at Reach Literacy. At Discovery, for every book logged a piece of gum will be added to our candy machine!
This week is also “Read Across America Week”. There are school wide activities that students are doing in the classroom, along with a bookmark contest, and pajama day on Friday! #todayareadertomorrowaleader
Happy Social Worker Week!
In the Sioux Falls School District, every student's journey is unique. For many of the kids we serve, our school social workers are there every step of the way! Whether offering a listening ear, connecting families to resources, or advocating for students' well-being, their dedication ignites hope and creates lasting impact in our schools.
This year's theme, Unite to Ignite: Celebrating Our Impact, is a perfect reflection of how our social workers bring people together to create brighter futures for students.
THANK YOU to our incredible school social workers for your compassion and care!
