When girls feel a sense of pride, they shine differently. From the first practice to crossing the finish line, Heart & Sole (H&S) girls learn that their self-worth is paramount to all that they do. The lessons in the curriculum help girls unleash their inner superstar and teach them to never let their light dim. Unlock your girl’s limitless potential and join our Patrick Henry Middle School’s team this season! Fall 2022 season starts September 6 – November 15, Tuesdays from 4:00pm to 6:00pm. H&S registration is open! Go to www.embe.org/program/heart-sole for more information.
School drop-offs and pick-ups can be messy! Take your time, stay alert, and obey the rules of the road. A safe and orderly process makes the day start and end on a positive note for both students and parents!
So you think you can dance?

What better way to start August than some "inspired" learning? SFSD staff members are sharpening their skills to help your student(s) achieve!
Keep your students fueled to learn! SFSD is no longer able to offer free meals to all students. Now is a great time to add money to their My School Bucks account. Or, for families with qualifying income, it is important to fill out the Free/Reduced Meal application!
Log on to the Parent Portal in Infinite Campus to apply! If you have questions or need help filling out the application please call 605-367-6180. We are happy to help!
Please note: if your student does not have a free/reduced lunch application on file, you will be charged full price for breakfast and lunch starting the first day of school. Thank you!
Students/Families who need assistance with purchasing the necessary school supplies for a successful school year may consider attending Project SOS. The first day of classes for SFSD is Thursday, August 25, 2022.
Summer Panther Academy students broke out of the classroom to experience education outside Patrick Henry‘s walls. They found turtles while kayaking in the big Sioux, they met with the Sioux Falls Police Chief at the courthouse and explored McKennan Park‘s sunken gardens!
Students celebrated their last day of school today by doing various activities with their teams and grade level.
Students at PHMS are ready for the last day of school; some more than others…
Students on team 7- 3 had a busy day yesterday! Not only was it “Cool Cat Day” but they also participated in a mock stock exchange while playing the game “Pit.”
Attention! We still have a few more yearbooks available for purchase. If your student would like a book, please have them bring $20 to their pro time tomorrow!
If you are wondering if you have already ordered one, please email Ms. Bossman at christine.bossman@k12.sd.us
Thanks!
Thank you for being a hero to many over the last 32 years Ms. Ailts! We could all learn a thing or two from your epic crosswalk skills!

Each month a staff member (or group of staff) is awarded the Pink Panther from the previous recipient. Wednesday, Ms. Meyer chose to give the panther to the Rise EAs. Our EAs work tirelessly every day and go above and beyond to make sure their students are receiving the best possible education. Thank you RISE EAs for your unending commitment to your students!
Getting in on the fun, Mr. Hall vs. Ms. Paula!
