Sargent Sunday Scoop
November 13th, 2022
Message From Ms. Biordi
The first marking period ended on November 10th and student support conferences will be held on November 21st and November 22nd. At these meetings, parents/guardians will have the opportunity to discuss their student's academic progress with the teacher. We will dismiss at 11:40am on each of the conference days. Breakfast and lunch will be served. There is no school November 23-25th. I hope to see many Sargent Stars run the upcoming Turkey Trot Kids fun run on November 19th!
The Senior Citizen Thanksgiving Luncheon was a great success! The collective effort of the students, faculty, staff, and volunteers was amazing and shows how truly special Sargent is! Special thank you to Ms. King for all the work that went into planning this event and for drumming up momentum so this long standing Sargent tradition could return. Check out the video below for highlights from the day!
