Good morning, Sioux City.

The Diocese of Sioux City is donating $100,000 to local parishes to provide emergency funds for food assistance amid a government shutdown affecting SNAP benefits.

Each parish will receive $2,500 to support food pantries—gift cards or food vouchers for over 36,000 families in need.

Norma Loffswold, a retired teacher after a 32-year career at North Middle, returned to treat her former coworkers to a catered Qdoba lunch—she paid out of her own pocket to thank the 120 staff she calls family.

In Tuesday's Sioux City school board election, voters chose candidate Cyndi Hanson—known for her extensive higher education background—as the top vote-getter for one of three available seats, showing a clear preference for education experience over incumbents Jan George and Bob.

Voters in the Sergeant Bluff-Luton school district rejected a $37 million bond measure on Tuesday that would have paid for primary school improvements—failing by 0.3% and eight votes short.

Superintendent Chad Janzen described the loss as 'crushing' and said the board will try again next fall after gathering community feedback.
