Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Kosinski are excited to share that an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) vinyl communication board is now available near the back playground to help support communication, inclusion, and social interaction for all students! The board gives children another way to express wants, needs, feelings, and ideas while playing together.
Families are asked to help students care for this important resource by encouraging respectful and appropriate use. Please remind students not to pick at, scratch, climb on, or damage the sign so it can continue to be available for everyone to use and enjoy. By working together, the school community can help create a welcoming and supportive environment for all learners.
The hope is to add even more signs like this throughout the school building next year! A huge thank you to the PTO for the financial support that helped make this possible. 👏✨ #WeAreSFSD

The month of February was filled with guest readers, organized by Ms. Williams. The list included community members, business owners, musicians and performers, as well as local celebrities and athletes! It was a WAVE of a good time! They SANG the ABCs and read their DO RE MIs! There were so many BUCKS...we mean, books! And some guest readers even wanted to do the Lambeau LEAP into reading! #WeAreSFSD

🎶 What a note-worthy day for 3rd Grade 🎶
On Tuesday, #WeAreSFSD students experienced the magic of the symphony as they attended a performance by the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. They enjoyed incredible music by trailblazing composers like Scott Joplin, Florence Price, Carlos Simon, George Gershwin, and, of course, everyone’s favorite, John Williams.
A huge thank you to the St. Francis Music Boosters for generously covering the cost of this unforgettable musical experience 🎻✨
