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!
Congratulations to these incredible 3rd-5th students for demonstrating leadership, responsibility, awareness, and kindness! Today, we celebrated their positive behavior—from teamwork to kindness, they are true role models in our school. Keep inspiring greatness!

Friday, February 28 is Rare Disease Day! 💗💚💙💜
Let’s come together to raise awareness and show support for the millions of people living with rare diseases. A simple way to stand in solidarity is by wearing pink, blue, green, or purple—these colors represent hope, strength, and the resilience of those affected.
By sparking conversations and spreading awareness, we can make a difference in the lives of individuals and families facing these challenges every day.
