The Sioux Falls School District’s partnership with the Siouxland Libraries, Everybody Reads, kicked off today! The theme this year is Reach for the Stars. When students complete a book, they fill out a star to add to our display. Staff painted a galaxy on the library windows where we can place our stars and show how many books we have read. We can't wait to see all the books our students read!
