HEY, Susan B. Anthony Family and Friends! Coming soon, we have our community health and wellness fair for the whole family to enjoy!
Every year on the 3rd of January, we observe Martin Luther King Day.
MLK was an influential civil rights leader known for his work on racial equality and ending racial segregation in the United States.
He was most famous for his "I Have a Dream." speech. Which was given at the Lincoln Memorial on the day that more than 200,000 people participated in the 'March on Washington' for jobs and Freedom!
What are some of your dreams you have for our country?
Dangerous weather conditions mean all activities/events for SFSD students for the
evening of Fri., Jan 12 and all day Sat., Jan 13, 2024 are being postponed.
No School Today - Tuesday, January 9, 2024
Sioux Falls Public Schools are closed Monday, January 8, 2024 due to weather.
What do teachers do after school!?.....
They play reindeer games!
Last week, our 4th and 5th grade band and orchestra performed their first concert of the year!
Today is a beautiful December day, but we know it can't last forever in South Dakota! Make sure you and your student(s) know how to access Canvas for remote learning when weather that keeps kids home can be predicted in advance.
Happy Friday Susan B. Anthony Families!
Please take a few minutes to read our December School Newsletter.
You will see the link to volunteer to help out at Family Night!
As well as each grades goal for this month!
Let us know if you have any questions.
Last week, our Kindergarten classes got to decorate balloons for our very own SBA Macys Day Parade!!
What a great way to celebrate our long Thanksgiving break!
Happy Thursday SBA families and friends! We are approaching Family Night!
Family Night is Friday December 8th from 6:30-7:30. It will be a reading theme! Students are welcome to bring a book from home that they can exchange for a new book! They can receive a token for each book/books they bring, to exchange for the same number of books!
You are welcomed to bring blankets or pillows to read on the floor and enjoy a tasty treat with families before the Main Event! The Masked Reader!

Planning Ahead! If your current 5th grader is involved in Gifted Education at their SFSD Elementary, join us tonight from 6-7pm at Patrick Henry Middle School to learn more about the Middle School Honors Program!
Earlier this week, our 5th grade students performed in front of the whole school and parents!
Their concert, called "BIG DREAMS" was a hit! With speaking parts, rapping, drums, and even recorders!
Thank you all for coming out and enjoying the show!
SFSD's new Canvas platform allows students and families to access school assignments and homework anytime, anywhere. When winter weather can be predicted, students and staff will take devices home to continue their learning. Are you prepared? Check out the guidance BEFORE you need it!
Be prepared for school delays or cancellations caused by winter weather! This chart is an example of how start times would be impacted if SFSD declares a One-Hour Late Start. Review it now... before winter weather is here to stay!
Saturday's snow has us thinking ahead to winter weather. Is your family prepared for the possibility of Late Starts or Remote Learning Days? This week, we'll highlight everything you need to know to prepare for changes in the school day caused by weather.
Concerned that your child is not on track for development? The Sioux Falls School District is here to help! Our team of Birth to 3 staff provides FREE services. Call TODAY for an evaluation.
Celebrate Life and Live Drug Free! All across America, everyone is making daily contributions to their communities by staying Drug Free. This week, students can dress up to show support for staying Drug Free!
There is ONE week left to get Spirit Wear orders placed! The webstore will close at 11:59 pm on October 24th, with expected delivery the week of November 15th. There are many styles and colors to choose from as well as two different printed designs and some options with an embroidered design!
To order, visit: https://hauffsports.chipply.com/susanbanthonypto/
Remember, if you choose "organization delivery" there is no additional cost and we will send home your orders with your students! If you add their name as the recipient, it will help us organize orders!
We love seeing the SBA spirit displayed on students and families alike!
Thank you!
