Sand Ridge "Shark Bites" Update
November 21, 2021 - Issue #13
Thanksgiving week is upon us and suddenly we are at one of the busiest times of the school year! There will be lots going on in the next few weeks, as we engage in holiday activities, complete some of our mid-year assessments, and continue with great educational activities.
There will not be a newsletter next Sunday, so please take a minute to read through the Announcements below as well as checking the Dates to Remember. A few things to note:
- There will be no school for students beginning Wednesday, November 24th. Students return on Monday, November 29th.
- Our wonderful PTO is proud to announce Papa John's Spirit Nights for the Sand Ridge PTO. Our first Spirit Night will be this Tuesday, November 23rd. Don't cook dinner, go to Papa John's and let them know you are with Sand Ridge!
- Second grading period mid-quarter progress reports go home on Tuesday, November 30th.
- We are nearing the conclusion of our One School, One Book reading of The Tale of Despereaux. It has been a joy to listen to students talk about the story of this daring little mouse. Sand Ridge will be hosting viewings of the movie. See the advertisement below, with more information to come.
Each Thanksgiving I list, for myself, all that I have to be thankful for. This year, I am especially thankful for this wonderful school, our amazing students and fantastic staff, along with the support of gracious and helpful families and community members.
I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
