We are truly blessed in this school community!!
We'd like to thank Sonia Sotomayor Elementary's AMAZING Lunch Heroes! Julie, Char, Tiffany, NaTasha, Ramo, and Jose work hard to serve our students and teach them valuable lifelong lessons during lunch! We thank them for all their efforts to make lunch great for every student!
We are so lucky! This awesome duo surprised the manada by, “Popping” with appreciation! Thank you Sra. Ríes and Dr. Vik for the delicious popcorn!!

Our Art Show is under way! We have some very creative students! And some pretty awesome art teachers! Thank you Tessa VanRavenswaay and Mariya Pabst for guiding these young artists.
We have become aware of a scam circulating that appears as if SFSD Child Nutrition Coordinator Gay Anderson is asking people to go out and purchase large dollar amounts of gift cards. Gay has NOT sent out a text or an email. Her communication devices appear to have been hacked. Please delete any communication and do not follow through with the request. We apologize for this inconvenience.
We are so excited for our Talent Show!

The stats are troubling-47% of SFSD students qualify for free/reduced lunches. Their family's income is not enough to make ends meet. That makes it difficult to support school fundraisers. Operation Hope & Caring helps! Get your tickets to the SF STORM game to support schools!
