Dear Families,

Wow! We had a huge turn out for our first official PTC event of the year. Mr. Hayhurst was the emcee for Bingo. It was so fun to see everyone! There will be more events coming up this year. Please join us.

Conferences sign ups will be sent today. Parent teacher conferences in the Fall are an opportunity to work with your child's teacher to create academic goals for the year. Teachers are looking forward to spending this time with you.

If you have any questions please call or stop by. Office hours are 8:00-4:00, Monday-Friday.

Thank you!! Arrival and dismissal is starting to really flow. I appreciate all the help following the procedures. It helps us keep everyone safe. If you arrive for dismissal before 3:05 please turn your car off. The idling is very strong for students and staff waiting for pick-up.

The Jog-A-Thon is Friday - are you ready to run with Sparky?!
Thanks to everyone who has already donated to the PTC's biggest fundraiser of the year! We've raised $29,549 toward our goal of $32,000. The PTC uses money raised to support student at Sexton with field trips, technology, books and much more....

Dear Parents and Families:

Get Ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way (YAY!). Choosing their own books empowers kids and inspires them to become bolder, prouder, and stronger readers. AND… as always, every book they buy earns rewards for our school.

Here’s what you need to know about the Fair, which will take place from 10/17-10/21 in Portable 5.

This year, say goodbye to cash and hello to eWallet—your child’s digital payment account. Before the Fair, set up eWallet for worry-free, cash-free purchases. Anyone can contribute! Share each child’s eWallet so friends and family can add funds and give your kids more books to enjoy.

If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Online Book Fair. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Your online orders will also benefit our school.Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping:

On October 12th, 2022 join people from around the world as we celebrate International Walk + Roll to School Day. Walk, bike, scooter, skate, roll, bus or carpool to school and be entered to win fun prizes. The grand prize winner will earn a new scooter with a helmet! Walking and rolling to school is great for kids, our community and our planet. Please join students, parents and staff for a special Walking School Bus that will depart from the Walmart parking lot promptly at 7:45 am. We look forward to walking with you to school!

Picture Day is coming up! Watch for information about volunteering and ordering pictures.

Jog-a-thon

We would love to have volunteers! Please make sure you sign up with Better Impact to be ready for the big day.

Art Literacy

We have an Art Literacy coordinator, Sarah Fantl. Thank you Sarah for stepping up. We have quite a few volunteers for the classroom lessons. But we could still use a few more. It is a great volunteering experience to work with the students in your child's classroom.

Be sure to see all the upcoming excitement in the latest edition of the PTC's Sparky Scoop.
