As part of the University of Sioux Falls Freshman Community Engagement project, USF students came to Anne Sullivan to spend time with our students learning and laughing together. USF students spent time practicing sight words and math facts in 1st grade, helped in Library and gym with 4th grade, supported our kindergarten students and lunch, and spent time in the hallways saying hi to students of all ages!

Thank you to our USF students for coming in and helping all of our students!

End of the year festivities! Rain or shine, some students got to enjoy their end of the year fun activities. Our 5th grade students found some clear skies to launch their rockets they made. For a week and a half, they worked hard to buy materials, plan their project, and work with a classmate to create a rocket they could launch into the sky. Our 2nd grade students got to enjoy a fun time at the Sanford Sports Center. From basketball, football, soccer in the fieldhouse, and fun games in the gym, students got to burn some energy and have some fun. Thank you to the Sanford Sports Center for hosting and donating sports balls to our classrooms.
