Students were able to enjoy the last couple of days of the summer season reading in the courtyard.




"I may be small, but I've got friends that make me feel ten feet tall." - Mickey Mouse
Last year today, we lost Owen Turner, a student who was a friend to everyone he met.
Thank you to Gibson Memorial of Sioux Falls and Patrick Henry Student Council for helping us honor all of the students we have lost. Also, thank you to Karyn Veenis for maintaining the garden and creating the space where Owen can always be a part of our school.

Communities are transformed by great leaders with big hearts. Did you know that 99% of coaches agreed that coaching Heart & Sole (H&S) was a valuable experience? All you need is a compassion for helping others, availability to meet one a week for 2 hours and a desire to see the next generation achieve their dreams! You do not have to be a runner to coach. Contribute to the H&S mission this season by coaching at Patrick Henry Middle School. Fall 2022 season starts September 6 – November 15, Tuesdays from 4:00pm to 6:00pm. Go to www.embe.org/program/heart-sole for more information.


Today, the City of Sioux Falls and Sioux Area Metro pulled up at Roosevelt High School to explain the public transit "Kids Ride Free Initiative." As the city works to increase ridership and build future transit users, children can ride SAM buses with a School ID/Freedom Pass.

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?
This is our first year offering performance dance for 7th and 8th graders at the middle school level! We will be learning different styles of dance: hip hop, jazz, and pom. There will be a few performances throughout the season. Practice starts afterschool on Monday.
