Laura B Anderson School Book Fair

Good Shepherd and Oak Hills Baptist Church are partnering together to serve the students, parents, teachers, and staff at Laura B Anderson (LBA) School on the Northeast Side of Sioux Falls. This service to a school that does not have a Parent-Teacher Association includes sponsoring teachers, mentoring students, being a reading buddy, providing meals for teachers during student-teacher conferences, and running a book fair. LBA families were so pleased to have the first book fair they’ve had in many years. Donations were collected for teachers to purchase books for their classroom libraries. Many thanks for all those who volunteered to set up and staff the book fair.
