Eugene Field A+ Elementary Parents and Friends!
Eugene Field A+ Elementary is so excited to again launch our Community Partners program! Through this program, we will be able to provide an item of spirit wear to EVERY student in our school, while also raising needed funds for our students, staff, and programs this year.
The primary component of our Community Partners program is our Event Spirit Wear Shirt. We are hoping to partner with local businesses to help sponsor these shirts. Their logo or name will be displayed on the back of the shirt, and worn by every student in our school. Not only will their support be incredibly helpful to EFA+, but it will enable us to support them as a community!
If you know of, or are part of, a business that would be interested in becoming an EFA+ Community Partner, please send them the linked Community Partner Form for more information.
We need a commitment from all Community Partners by August 20th in order to supply all our students with a shirt.
Thank you in advance for supporting our school! If you have any questions, please contact Robyn Ernster 605-321-0912 or email at rjernster@hotmail.com

LAST CALL for Camp Invention! Secure your child's spot TODAY!

Members of the EFA+ Student Advisory Committee visited Lifescape and worked with a group of their students to plant flowers.
Both groups of students enjoyed working cooperatively and getting to know each other.






HAPPY LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!
From all of us at EFA+
Today we celebrated an amazing year of learning. Some of our high school graduate alumni returned to us today to share future plans and words of wisdom. We also sent our 5th graders off to middle school, and allowed our returning students to soar up and meet their future teacher.
Have a great summer!




On Tuesday, students participated in a Community themed Multiple Intelligences Day! This event was unique because students moved through M.I. Day with their M.I. Family instead of their grade level classroom. Presenters joined us to share on a variety of topics such as: how journalism tells the story of our community, how to form a band in your community, how to give back to your community, and how to use resources available in the Sioux Falls community.

On Monday students participated in the Camp Golden Eagle Olympics...the EFA+ version of Field Day!


Students in Dance and P.E. enjoyed ending the year with a glow stick dance party and participating in all their favorite stations!





At EFA+ we end our year with Camp Golden Eagle!
3rd graders created camp journals to start off the week.




3rd grade students planned and worked at IronFox Farm today!





To celebrate a great year of art making, every art class gets to GLOW PAINT this week!

5th grade students used the Art Smarts and Body Smarts to draw and act out history!



Spring is in full swing for K01. They used their Nature Smarts today in multiple ways. They visited 1st grade’s chicks and then released their butterflies.




A big thank you to everyone who has signed up to help with Field Day! That sign up is full, and we’re so grateful.
The Spring Carnival is still in need of volunteers to help run games and help at the book fair. If you’re available to help in this way, check out the Spring Carnival page for the sign up links:

The cast of Beauty and the Beast after their final curtain call. They delivered four incredible performances over the weekend. More photos to come.

For the second year in a row, the Sioux Falls School District is proud to be called one of the Best Communities for Music Education by the National Association for Music Merchants Foundation. This recognition is a testament to the dedication of our teachers, the commitment of our students, and to the close ties that have grown together over the years in our music education community. As we celebrate this recognition, let us also celebrate the power of music to inspire, educate, and unite us all.
