Sioux Valley Alumni & Friends Foundation is in the process of raising funds for academic, athletic and fine arts. The money raised through taxes provides funding for salaries, building maintenance and learning tools. Through our fund raising efforts, our goal is to provide additional educational opportunities. We are seeking the help of all alumni and friends of Sioux Valley Schools to raise funds for improvements at Sioux Valley Schools. Funds will be used for facility improvements, program enhancements, special class projects, and scholarships.

Our initial goal was to raise $300,000. We have surpassed that goal and have used the money to help fund the following projects: Wood floor for gymnasium, bleacher and baskets, locker room improvements, displays for class photos, band instrument lockers, wrestling mats, improved technology, and stage curtain and lighting. The current project Sioux Valley Alumni and Friends is currently working on is a new trophy case to be displayed in the new commons area.

Special donor levels are listed below. If you would like additional information before making your donation, we would encourage you to contact one of our foundation officers, John Heylens (605-627-9974), Donna Bolstad (605-695-6983) or Eric Benson (605-627-5108). Every dollar given will be used expressly for projects to the Sioux Valley School system.
