Our Lobos Leaders asked… and our school community answered! 🐺💙
Over the past two weeks, we collected donations for the two Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Dakota houses right here in Sioux Falls. After meeting with RMHC Volunteer Coordinator Samantha Dixon to learn what families need most, our Lobos Leaders jumped into action — and our community rallied behind them!
Because of the generosity of our students, families, and staff, nearly 10,000 items were donated! From toothbrushes and toothpaste to juice boxes and cereal cups, every single item will help provide comfort and care to families staying at RMHC.
We wrapped up our drive during Friday’s Kindness Celebration with some special guests who reminded us of the power of kindness in our schools and beyond:
Kevin Miles, CEO of RMHC
Dr. James Nold, Superintendent of Sioux Falls School District
Paul TenHaken, Mayor of Sioux Falls
Our Lobos Leaders put on an incredible celebration and reminded us all that kindness creates ripple effects far beyond our school walls. Together, we proved that when Lobos lead, our community rises. 💙✨

Hello Families,
We are excited to celebrate the 100th Day of School on Monday, February 2!

We look forward to celebrating this milestone with our students and making it a memorable day of learning and fun.
Thank you for your continued support!

Friday, January 23, 2026, will be a Remote Learning Day in the Sioux Falls School District!

We will not have in-person learning in the schools, but students are expected to connect to their Canvas account from home for assignments and learning resources.

We are collecting pop/can tabs for the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) as part of their Pop Tab Pandemonium contest! 🥤❤️
RMHC recycles the tabs and uses the funds raised to support families staying at the Ronald McDonald House.
There are 36 schools across South Dakota competing, and we are currently in 4th place! 💪
Some of our Lobos Leaders delivered our tabs to RMHC for our first weigh-in, and we had a whopping 99 pounds! 🐺🎉 We know we can do even better!
Keep collecting those tabs! We love a healthy little competition—especially when it does so much good for others.
Ask your friends, family, and workplace to save tabs for us, and send them to school with your child.
Let’s do this, Lobos! 🐺💙
