Laura Wilder Elementary fourth and fifth-grade band and orchestra students (and their teachers) have been working hard over the past few months. They have been learning how to play new notes, new ways to play their instruments, and new songs to showcase in their upcoming concert. Earlier this morning, these students got to show off their musical talents in front of classmates at a matinee performance. Later tonight, families will fill the gym and get to see the hard work of their students pay off. This concert is just one of many other band, orchestra, choir, and fine arts performances coming up this spring. Be sure to check our events calendar so you don't miss out!



Superintendent Jane Stavem hosted nearly 50 future educators Tuesday for "Bagels with the Boss." Student teachers currently working in SFSD classrooms joined us to learning about job opportunities, hear about the support offered by the District's Instructional Coaches, and connect with leadership. We look forward to adding many of these new teachers to our team in the Fall!
