It was wonderful to see so many of our former EFA+ students working together in this wonderful performance!

A couple of weeks ago, the Northern Lights were visible in the Sioux Falls area.
A 5th grade student and his mother, embarked on a late night adventure trying to photograph them.
Then he brought in photos for each student in his class, which inspired a mini lesson on this phenomenon.
Everyone created lovely visual representations inspired by the beautiful Northern Lights.




The School Board has voted to move the last day of student classes to Friday, May 26, 2023 - requiring students to make up two of the five days missed due to weather. Staff will report through Friday, June 2, 2023.


5th graders participated in EGGsperiments to review reading objectives for test preparation.



Today we had a special visit from the USF and WHS Women's Basketball Teams.

March Madness at EFA+:
Each classroom drew a team to cheer on.
301 drew Florida Atlantic University and since they made it to the Final 4, they earned extra PE time and championships rings.



Former Eagles; Alanna, Coralee, Claire, and Esther performed in the WHS Soprano/Alto Choir and the UNL Woman's Choral Festival.

5th graders created timelines about their life, and then presented them to their peers.


1st grade students are working on collecting and graphing data.
During Art Integration, they reviewed two artists they have learned about this year: Yayoi Kusama and Vincent Van Gogh.
Then they voted for which artist was their favorite.
They cast their vote by creating a symbol in the style of the artist they chose, and created a class graph of their votes to show their data.


EFA+ students completed their SmART Bowl today with the help of special guests from the community.




The EFA+ Band and Orchestra presented their concerts today!
They have learned so much this year and each song was beautifully performed.
