Please help us congratulate our newest SFSD All Star, Karen Hanisch!
Hanisch works in the Child Nutrition Department. She was nominated for this award by Child Nutrition Supervisor, Gay Anderson who had this to say about her, "This has been a very hard school start for our department and Karen has been in the middle from beginning to end to get things aligned with menus changes, menu shortages and other things that have tried to hold her work back. She has remained dedicated putting in extra time and assuring our students are safe."
Congratulations, Karen!

March is National Social Worker Month! Social workers are an incredible asset to the Sioux Falls School District. They play a vital role in helping our students and families in need by empowering them with skills, knowledge, resources, and encouragement to overcome life's challenges.

We believe this resonates because social workers are on the frontlines helping our nation overcome a variety of current challenges.
