Note from the Principal
Hello Slate Hill Families,
WOW! It is hard to believe that we only have three days of school left to go. We have enjoyed a lot of fun learning, activities, events and celebrations the last month of school. One of our favorites is tomorow! It is Star Fun Day- Welcome to the Jungle! Our staff and students have been decorating our building getting ready as our Adventure Awaits in the Jungle. I know it is going to be a fun-filled day!

Our PTA is looking for fresh ideas for Fall Fest. Please take a few minutes to fill out this form if you are interested in joining our fall fest committee and sharing your ideas.
Next year's date for Fall fest is October 6th from 5-7pm.
Lost and Found will be donated after the last day of school! Please stop by the office as we have a large pile of items that have not been claimed.
Thank you for another amazing year! I am so lucky to be the principal of #thebestplaceonearth and am thankful for your partnership with our staff to support the learning and growth of your wonderful children this year!
All the best,
Julie
