Sand Ridge "Shark Bites" Update
October 17, 2021 - Issue #8
Last week was a short, but successful week at Sand Ridge Elementary. I hope that you will see the photos below.
- Sand Ridge was represented in the Mullet Festival Parade and I am pleased to share that our mascot, Sharky (otherwise known as Mr. Henderson), won for best animal or mascot in the parade.
- Our PTO was saved!! Thanks to a tremendous turnout and the election of our new board! The next meeting will be on November 9, 2021. We hope to see you all there!
- Our EC team was awarded a grant that provided them with the materials for a sensory walk, which they installed over the long weekend. Please see the pictures below.
- We welcomed an audience back to our school following the PTO meeting. Our fourth and fifth grade students each shared a brief performance. What a great evening and so wonderful to see our kiddos performing again.
As the first grading period begins to wind down, teachers will be reaching out to schedule parent-teacher conferences. This year, we will be scheduling conferences for each and every student and our goal is to be completed by November 12th. Please work with your child's teacher to schedule an in-person or TEAMS conference during this time.
Mark your calendars for Fall Book Fair the week of Oct. 25th-29th, for our next Early Release Day on October 27th, and for our next PTO meeting on November 9th. We are also having our October Strategic Leadership Team meeting this coming Tuesday, October 19th, at 7:00 am. Parents are invited and encouraged to participate. Please let me know if you plan to attend so that I can be assured of having an appropriate amount of materials.
Thank you for your continued support of our school, students, staff and programs. Here's to another great week at Sand Ridge.
