Reminders from Discovery students!
Wow, way to go Discovery! We not only reached our goal - we exceeded it! We collected 1,412 pairs of socks for the Bishop Dudley Hospitality House here in Sioux Falls. Thank you Discovery students and families for your generosity!
And with a blink of an eye, we are already a quarter way through the 2022-2023 school year! The second quarter is here, and it’s a busy one! While this time of year tends to get chaotic, it’s important to remember how crucial student attendance is. Chronic absenteeism is a serious problem in South Dakota - a problem SFSD is committed to improving. Missing just two days a month can hurt a student’s grades and increase their chance of dropping out. Make sure your student is on the path to a bright future – and that starts in the classroom!
A HUGE thank you to PTO for refreshing our book supply in the office during the Scholastic Book Fair! We appreciate you!
Discovery’s main entrance got an update over the weekend, and it looks amazing!
On Thursday afternoon, 5th grade students will eat lunch in their classroom and take in part in Career Cafe, where they will hear from different career speakers from the community. If you are a 5th grade parent and would like to help serve cookies at the event, please email our school counselor, Karmyn Marchand, at Karmyn.Marchand@k12.sd.us.
Madeline Shields with the Bishop Dudley Hospitality House (Bishop Dudley) presented to 5th grade Student Council students today. She explained what they do, who they care for, and how they help those in the community. Bishop Dudley will be the recipients of our Socktober “sock” donations. Discovery will be collecting socks at the Fall Dance tonight and at school through October 31. Thank you Student Council for helping to support our community!
