Surfside Shark Bite's
Week of: February 6-10, 2023
A Note From Principal Frandsen
Good afternoon, Sharks!
It is exciting to report that Surfside's enrollment continues to grow as folks hear about the great things going on at our school. Of course, the "great things" are directly related to our incredible staff, students, and families. Thank you, families, for partnering with us to provide the most effective, caring, and supportive environment for your sharks.
On that note, we are rapidly approaching the halfway point for the second semester, so please remember to check on those grades, catch up on any unfinished work and contact your teachers for questions. There are plenty of opportunities for Surfside students to access supports should help be needed.
I'm also pleased to report that the Sharks basketball team has gone undefeated with our last game scheduled for this evening. Go Sharks!
Finally, it is exciting to announce that Surfside's ASB is up and running. Please look for fundraising events and spirit wear sales to help support our school.
Have a great weekend!
Principal Frandsen
