#ShineForward - Please take the survey if interested!
"How can I help?" This is a question that many of us or local businesses/organizations have on our minds when it comes to helping schools. Sometimes, it the needs are not always immediately apparent, and they are always changing and evolving. This survey is designed for us and you to help identify these needs and ways to become "plugged into" the Star.
This quick survey is designed to help current and future organizations and people become involved with volunteering and helping our students reach their highest potential. If you or your business/organization would like to become more involved in the school and school community, then this survey is for you! After completing the survey, a school person will send you an e-mail, and invite you to our next Caring for Kids meeting!
If interested, please take the survey here, and learn how you can #ShineForward: https://goo.gl/forms/Y2VMRySiM9WKurH12
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Ryan Wilson at RyanWilson@smsd.org
We will be very busy over the course of February with researching and making catapults, Rube Goldberg Machines, superhero bugs, and more. Ask your child if he or she needs any supplies for library for their project. While the library is able to provide some of the materials, your child may need to find some things to help make their project the best it can be. Please use items or recyclables that you already have--please do not feel like you need to go out and buy any items.
HUGE shoutout to all of the hot glue gun and glue stick donations! We made our goal!
We still do have a few library needs, if you are interested in donating to our library. These items are also borrowed for classrooms. Our needs are:
* Cardboard Scissors (We currently have 2. Our goal is to hit 5!)
* Pipe Cleaners / Chenille Stems
* Dominoes (Doesn’t have to be a set—Any Color or Type)
* Empty Paper Towel Rolls
* Cardboard Boxes (All Shapes and Sizes Welcome!)
Please let me know if you have any questions at RyanWilson@smsd.org

Calling all Star DADS!
Star DADS (Dads And Dads Substitutes) is a program at Rising Star for Dads or positive male role models for students at Rising Star to become involved to make a positive impact and volunteer at the school.
