What could a retired Marine and a third-grader possibly have in common? Their shared love for the Sioux Falls School District lunch truck, of course! You might remember these familiar faces from a heartwarming story we shared over the summer. Child Nutrition professional, Lonny Meno made one of his biggest fans’ dreams come true by creating and gifting a custom toy truck modeled after the SFSD lunch delivery truck to Michael, a third-grade student at Rose Parks Elementary. Michael, who has a special passion for vehicles, especially the SFSD lunch truck, was overjoyed when he received the gift!
Fast forward to Halloween, and Lonny’s kindness has warmed hearts once again. Yesterday, he wore a custom SFSD lunch delivery truck costume, lighting the lunchroom with hundreds of smiles from students and staff alike! Lonny’s commitment to making students feel seen and valued is just one of the many ways he goes above and beyond for our school district.
Thank you, Lonny, for “showing up” in extraordinary ways and making a difference every day. Your compassion and creativity remind us all of the joy that simple acts of kindness can bring!

WHS Trunk and Treat
It's "thumbs up" in 233!
Friday is the day we celebrate! Students that sold five or more items in the fundraiser, will have the opportunity to dunk Mrs Machacek or Mrs Sonnenfeld. We will try to get some live video of the celebrations 💦. A huge thank you to everyone that supported Rosa Parks! We raised $11,000 to be used to support our students! The top five students were Landon (104), Aya (K05), Gabriel (202), Garrett (401) and Jojo (233); these students have earned a special reward for their classrooms. Landon sold 57 items; that's a lot of chances to dunk us😂. Should be a fun and wet afternoon!
