It's March!
Can you believe this is the last week of the 3rd Nine Weeks? March 13 will begin the final nine weeks of this school year. Report Cards will be going home on March 16. With everything happening fast at the end of the school year, make sure to pay close attention to important dates such as testing for 1st and 2nd graders, field trips, Fine Arts Nights for 1st and Kinder, awards assemblies, and field days.
It was a BIG week at SES!! We celebrated Read Across America week along with Dr. Seuss' Birthday. Students had guest readers throughout the week in the library along with several math and literacy activities in the classrooms. It was a FUN week of celebrating a well-known author!
Kindergarten...Have you got your spot?
Do you know someone ready to register for Kindergarten? We would love for you to encourage them to contact SES as soon as possible to set up a screening time!
Sheridan School District is looking forward to meeting its new kindergarteners and their parents. Kindergarten registration for the 2017-18 school year will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on March 14 and March 16 at both Sheridan Elementary and East End Elementary.

Pop Tabs at SES
For the next few months, Sheridan Elementary School will be participating in a service project to benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities. The Ronald McDonald house is a “home away from home” provided for families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at nearby hospitals. Little Rock has one of these houses. The Ronald McDonald House Charities currently has a drive to collect pull tabs (as shown in the picture at the top of this page) for aluminum cans. The pull tabs are collected and donated to the charity who will then recycle them for funds to help support the Ronald McDonald House. We will be having a contest in our school to see which classroom can collect the most tabs in total weight during our collection period. The tabs will be weighed periodically throughout the contest. The winning class will get to take a field trip to the Riverfest School Days Pop Tab Pandemonium Event held at the River Market in Little Rock. Collecting by the students may begin immediately. This is a great way to teach kids about philanthropy and the importance of recycling while raising funds to help children and their families at the same time. We would like to encourage you and your family to help us out with this worthwhile activity. THANKS!
What does RMHCA do with the pop tabs?
We recycle tabs and the money we receive helps pay for families to stay at the Ronald McDonald House. We do not require our families to pay to stay, so this program alleviates some of the costs associated with housing 28 families each night.

Box Tops for Education
We are having a Box Top collection contest during the 2016-2017 school year. We will collect Box Tops from each class.
Box Tops Tips:
Please trim all excess off of all labels prior to turning them in; it saves us time and shipping. Please use the attached collection sheet and either glue or tape the box top in the square. Each filled page of box tops will amount to $3.00 and will be counted toward your child’s class. Please check the expiration dates prior to sending in. Bonus Box Tops have to be kept separate from regular box tops. Please make sure your child’s name and teacher are printed on the collection sheet. If you need more collection sheets, contact the office or your child’s teacher.
