Sunday, January 15

 

Happy Sunday! As I shared after school Friday, change is coming. This will be my last year at Stoneridge as I leave to open Westbrook Elementary. This is truly a dream come true for me and I am so excited for this opportunity, but that does not make this change any easier. I absolutely love coming to work each day. I love each of you, the kids and the community. We are family- We are Stoneridge. When people ask how long I have been at Stoneridge, I honestly cannot answer. When you think of everything we have been through, it feels like a lifetime. I have enjoyed working with each of you and have learned so much! That being said, our work is not done. We have the year to finish and we will do it well!! 

Now, back to business...

We have signed up with Sami Kadar for his virtual content. He will come to Stoneridge, if we are interested! You will get an email from him every Sunday.

Before you get started, watch this video: Sami Staff Info

It is a 20 minute video each week and he teaches some really important life skills. I would love if you could plug this into your weekly schedule. I know, finding the time is tough, but it is valuable learning. Thank you!

Did you know...  Robin Santos was banned from Toys R Us for crashing into a big display during a pogo stick race with my roommates and an old man... and this was when she was in college!

Did you know one of our staff members was a nanny for Jack Blades (lead singer of Night Ranger and Damn Yankees) during college. She has also met Ozzy Osbourne, CeCe Deville, Tommy Shaw, and Ted Nugent. Wow!
