Hello Stallions!
We had a great week at the Ranch! Ms. Maish’s (6th) students are doing great learning this unit’s math concepts. Writing summaries of non-fiction text was a big success for Mrs. Church’s (5th) students. Mrs. Laske’s (1st) class did a great job with their first tree map in writing. Mrs. Shaffer’s (Intermediate SPICE) students wrote excellent narratives. Multiplication was a big success this week in Mrs. Linden’s (4th) room and Mr. McKinzie’s (6th) students are immersed in a research project. These are just a few examples of the awesomeness that happened at the Ranch last week!
This year’s Book Fair was a huge success! The Sonoma Ranch library will receive $2000 and more than $800 worth of books! Congratulations to Mrs. Georgvich on such a wonderful success!
This year’s SRE shirts have arrived! Show your Stallion Style on Fridays with a super cool new shirt! They will be on sale in the office for $15. An order form will go home shortly from PTSO as well. Check out the new shirt below!
Last Tuesday night the Gilbert Governing Board voted 5-0 to offer a contract for District Superintendent to Mr. Shane McCord. Back in July the Board began this process, and after more than 30 applicants applied, and 6 interviewed for the position, the Board selected Mr. McCord. Mr. McCord knows Gilbert well. He spent 19 years in GPS starting as an elementary teacher. He then became an Assistant Principal at Gilbert High School and was the Principal of Houston Elementary School. He was Director of Community Education, Executive Director of Human Resources and Assistant Superintendent for Administrative Services. Presently he is an Assistant Superintendent with Mesa Public Schools. Mr. McCord will begin work once contract negotiations are finalized.
Our Health Office is in need of gently used children’s clothes, especially in smaller sizes, as well as new children’s underwear. When accidents happen at school we like to be able to have the kids change into clean clothes. If you’ve recently cleaned out your closets and find yourself with items that we could use, your donation would be appreciated!
Tuesday is Picture Day at the Ranch!
Our Kinderstallions are still working on their colors! This week they learn the color yellow. On Thursday we are encouraging everyone to wear some yellow!
