Garretson School Volunteers at The Banquet... On Friday, March 6th, the HS National Honor Society and the MS Student Council joined together and volunteered to serve at The Banquet, downtown Sioux Falls.
It was an early morning serving from 6:30 A.M. - 8:00 A.M with clean up afterwards. The nine students that attended had the opportunity to serve beverages and food, take tokens for count, and one even got to do the dishes. All got an opportunity to interact with the clients served that morning; 204 in total.
Thank you to all who took the time to get up early and represent Garretson in our surrounding community. Compliments all around on the professionalism and smiles shown throughout the adventure. You make a difference.

Regretfully, we have to announce that we won't be offering Driver's Education at the school this year. The teacher we have worked with the last couple of years is not able to come to Garretson to teach anymore. Despite our efforts, we have not been able to find a qualified replacement. We know how important this program is to our students and families and we hope at some point we can bring this program back. We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for understanding.

Garretson celebrated Read Across America Week and while many of the activities happened with elementary, the seniors got in on the fun too. The Class of 2026 met up with the Kindergarteners to read together during this fun week!
We kicked off middle school chess club today with 61 students participating! We had a lot of students learning the game for the first time and it was awesome to see the more experienced chess players helping our novice players. If you have a middle school student who would like to join chess club, encourage them to sign up with Mrs. Bos or Mrs. Bly!
