Week of 11/28

Dear Parents, 

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend with family, food and friends! 

  
​

We only have 3 weeks remaining in the 2nd quarter.  I will be starting our end of the quarter assessment this week.  It is important that your child is here each day and that they arrive on time.   

 

Birthdays: We have lots of birthdays coming up.  I want to remind you that the new school policy is that no FOOD treats may be passed out for birthdays.  If your child would like to bring something in, I have seen some great ideas: Sticker sheets, erasers, glow sticks/necklaces, baseball cards, rings, gel pen, etc.  

Book Order:Due Friday, December 2nd.  Visit online or paper order. Great holiday gifts!

You will also see how our first STAR of the week was able to celebrate and some ideas for your child when it is their turn to be the STAR. 

The following link is the flyer to send in with your payment for visit with Santa.  This helps give the SPTG an idea of how many to expect.  

Visit with Santa - visit this link for details

They are also in need of individually wrapped snack cakes for the cake walk.  Please feel free to send snack cakes to the office.  

Thank you to all parents who have signed up to help with Visit with Santa!  We still need a few more parents to make this event great.  Please consider signing up for a 45 minute shift.

Volunteers for Visit With Santa 2016 www.signupgenius.com Sappington students and families can have their picture taken with Santa, enjoy the Book Fair in the Library, dance with the DJ in the gym, play games and make an ornament! This is a fun event for everyone, but it takes a lot of help to run smoothly. Feel free to sign up for more than one shift if you can! Thank you so much, your help and time are appreciated!

We are also still looking for a few volunteers at the book fair.  We appreciate any time that you can donate to us.
