MESSAGE FROM MRS. MOTZNY
Dear Parents/Guardians:
We have two community events happening in the months of February and March. We have heard from many parents that they would like to see more community events offered throughout the year. We hope that you are planning to join us for either the K.I.S.S. Dance on Saturday or our BINGO Night on March 24th. We need volunteers to make these events happen, so please consider working for an hour at either or both of these events as well. We are not able to have these fun filled evenings without volunteers. Thank you to our amazing PTO Executive Board and our K.I.S.S. Committee (Amber Fasheh, Melanie Schulin, and Stephanie Nicholson for organizing such a wonderful experience for our Sampson Stallions.
Sincerely,
Heather Motzny

From the library
Our 3rd graders have worked hard this school year in the NCAA sponsored Read to the Final Four. They read and recorded minutes so well, but Sampson did not move onto the Sweet 16. That's ok! We read and had so much fun along the way. Last week, they were reading to participate in a staff vs. student basketball game. Students read to be entered in a raffle to play the game. The rest of the 3rd grade was amazing cheering - and they were loud! We had so much fun! Coach Draudt (retired Cy Falls successful basketball coach) came to coach our 3rd graders. They were definitely more organized than our staff team! The students were fantastic, and we are so proud of them.
Sampson's very own Reading March Madness is now underway. Students read and vote on their favorite book. All of the books are 2022 publication date, so we have some fresh books!
