Wednesday, November 13th is World Kindness Day. To help celebrate and bring awareness of World Kindness Day, let's wear shirts with kind messages or LBA spirit wear.
Students from Sonia Sotomayor (pictured in this photo) and the rest of the Sioux Falls School District would like to wish you a Happy Veteran's Day! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
South Dakota public schools proudly recognize and support the brave men and women who have served in our armed forces. Their sacrifices and dedication have upheld the values and freedoms we cherish, and we are deeply grateful for their commitment to protecting our nation.
Our schools are committed to instilling respect and appreciation for veterans among our students, helping them understand the importance of service and dedication. We invite our community to join us in expressing heartfelt gratitude and respect for our veterans.
Thank you to all our veterans for your service and sacrifice!
Our 5th grade spent some time reading with their Early Childhood reading buddies. Thanks for being good buddies!

One of our 5th grade classes had their last day at Starbase today. STARBASE is a 5-day program, 25-hour academy, where students and teachers attend one day a week for 5 weeks during the school year. They provide innovative educational programs in unconventional settings that focus on science, technology, engineering, math and teamwork skills. Einstein even made an appearance.
In this season of thankfulness, we are thankful for our Community Partners who Show Up for KIDS at LBA.
You are invited to our Family Culture Night - Friday, November 22nd, 5-7 pm. Experience many of the cultures represented at LBA. Feel free to bring your favorite cultural dish & items to share or wear your traditional clothing from your country. Flyers were sent home with students today. Please call the office if you have any questions. We hope to see you there!
Remember to change your clocks back one hour on Sunday, November 3.

At 8:30 am, families will be dismissed, and students will get on with our regular school day. Please reach out if you have questions.
I hope you all can join us!
Our Early Childhood students planted bulbs in the garden beds on their playground today. In the spring we will have a beautiful garden.
Picture Retakes are tomorrow at LBA. Students need to bring the return packet to get re-takes or an envelope if they are ordering for the first time.
All students who did not get a picture done on September 17th will have their picture taken.
Early Childhood hosted a Book Bash today. Parents were given information on parent classes and policy council and then joined their kiddos in their classroom for food, a photo booth, bookmark craft, and to pick out books to take home.
Second grade has been busy writing, editing, and publishing books and we enjoyed sharing our work with our classmates with a Gallery Walk! We loved reading and sharing feedback/compliments with one another!
