Eugene Field A+ Elementary is the only Arts plus Academics specialized school in Sioux Falls. Daily art instruction is fundamental in the philosophy of A+ Schools. Eugene Field A+ Elementary strives to provide a strong academic program by using drama, visual art, music, and dance to meet the needs of each and every student. Classroom teachers and arts teachers collaborate to ensure that the curric

ulum is taught through the arts and the arts taught through the curriculum. This relationship ensures that ALL Children - traditional learners and nontraditional learners - have an opportunity to reveal their understanding of the standards through a variety of enriched assessments.

👕 SHIRT SPONSORS WANTED! 👕
We are SO excited to launch our Eugene Field A+ Elementary Shirt Sponsorship Program! 🎨❤️

Each year, we want every student at EFA+ to feel a strong sense of school spirit and belonging. With the support of local businesses, we can provide a custom EFA+ shirt to EVERY student in our school while also raising funds to support our students, staff, and programs!

Last year, we were incredibly fortunate to partner with some amazing local businesses who helped make this possible. This year, we’re hoping to grow that community even more! 🙌

✨ What does a sponsorship look like?
Sponsors will have their business name or logo featured on the back of our school shirts, which will be worn by students throughout the school year. Your support makes a direct impact on our school while giving us an opportunity to proudly support the businesses that support EFA+!

🏫 Are you a local business owner—or know a business that might be interested? We would love to partner with you!

📅 Sponsor commitments are needed by August 14 so we can get shirts ordered for all of our students.

And one more HUGE thank-you to our 2025–26 Shirt Sponsors! We are so grateful for your generosity and partnership:

❤️ Rebecca Ohayon – Coldwell Banker Empire Realty
❤️ Prairiescapes LLC
❤️ First Premier Bank
❤️ Sioux Falls Simplified
❤️ Bloom
❤️ D&C Solid Waste Services
❤️ Millennium Recycling, Inc.

Thank you for helping make EFA+ a special place for our students! We are so grateful for our incredible school community and the local businesses who invest in our kids. ❤️

📩 Interested in becoming a sponsor? Please see the Sponsorship Form for more information or contact [email protected] with questions.

Let’s fill those shirts with school spirit—and local community support! 👕🎨✨
