Stoneridge Staff Blog: February 12, 2023

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! It is a little less fun without the Niners in it. (Or the Packers, for that sake!) That being said, I have spent many years wishing we had the day after the Super Bowl off and it is finally happening!! Have fun today and relax tomorrow.

The Sweetheart Dance was so much fun. The kids got all dressed up and had so much fun dancing with their friends. At the end of the night, the kids took over the stage and danced. The parents just smiled and videoed. It was too cute. To end the evening, a student requested we do the Timberwolf Chant. So, I led the chant with all the kids doing it on stage. It seriously made my day. I was one proud principal💗

Parent Info Night: We will have parent info night this Wednesday at 6pm, in the library. In addition to calming the fears of new kindergarten parents, the goal of the evening is to get all parents excited about their children's future at Stoneridge. For example, we want the 4th grade parents excited about what is to come in 5th grade. Darren Brown will also be there to talk about middle school. There is a bubble right now that is worried about sending their kids to middle school in 6th grade. We want to build their confidence and get them excited.

Mark you calendars

TOSA Tidbit:

Lunch Challenge!

It was SO SO much fun setting the tables for the winning classes. There was so much fun energy among all the students. The classes that won LOVED their special table set up and all the other students were so curious, excited and motivated to get more points. Some students offered up ideas for future incentives which I love. I'm going to create a good old fashioned idea box where students can share their ideas.

Our next challenge winners will celebrate on Friday, February 24th since the next two weeks are short weeks. Enjoy the photo collage! They sure were cute.
