Friday, March 1

Well, February was a quick week. I cannot believe March is here already! 

This was a great week. Emma Sumner was a phenomenal guest. I know all of you have commented, but really, could there have been a more perfect inspiration for our students? Thank you, Robin, for all of your work coordinating her visit, and most of all, for bringing her to Stoneridge! 

And then a pilot? Sheila, thank you for inviting Mr. Bartlett. As the 3rd graders have studied the four forces of flight, they were enthralled to learn about being a pilot and flying REAL planes!

Stoneridge is an amazing place. There is no doubt about that!! 

We have many important things coming up:

1) On Monday, during PLC time, please go to the staff lounge to have your picture taken. These are pictures for the 'Teacher Time' auction. If your grade level is doing an activity together, you can all take one picture in front of the green screen. If you are doing something on your own, you get to take a solo pic in front of the green screen. Jill is going to take the pictures and fill in the background. Thank you, Jill!!!

2) On Wednesday, Derk and the school board members will be here for a tour. I know things will be a little nutty because it is Storybook Character Day, but that also means it will be extra awesome! Let me know if you would like us to pop in your classroom. We will be walking around for 30 min to an hour~ 9:30-10:30am

3) Tickets for 'Betting on the Arts.' The way the website is set up, you have to enter your credit card. If you are not buying a ticket for your spouse and don't feel comfortable doing that, just email Valerie Gross stoneridgeptc1@gmail.com she will take care of it for you.

4) Speaking of 'Betting on the Arts,' please encourage parents to buy their tickets!! 

5) On March 13, Jesse Bennett will be providing a couple of assemblies for our students. She will talk about her book, mindfulness and leading them through a couple yoga poses. Stay tuned for assembly times. Due to her schedule, the assembly times will likely be similar to those of Emma Sumner.
