We currently have 3-4 people that are willing to sub for a staff of appx 70 teachers. We truly need your help. You can call the school and come by and pick up and application this week. Meeting with Mrs. Ingram is also part of the process. We need you! We would love to have your help.
-Family Volunteers Needed- Please contact our new Family Engagement Specialist- April Hughes, to see how you can volunteer your time at SR.

-Kiss Hunger Goodbye Change Drive- Send in your spare change to help make change in the lives of our students by supporting Backpack Blessings. The North Georgia YMCA and many other partners help provide snacks weekly for our students in Walker County. Students will add their coins to the change container in the front lobby up each day. We will have staff members receive a pie in the face at each grade level if we meet our grade level goal for their grade level goal of $100.00 per grade with a total of $1000 for the entire school. Each grade level will receive a sweet treat for meeting their goal.The grade level band (P-2, 3-5, 6,7, & 8) that raises the most money will receive an extra recess, popcorn treat and a drink.

It is my hope that you work with your child at home each night on reading and math skills for all grade levels. We need our students to feel confident in these areas so that they can deepen their understanding in all areas. All students in grades 3-8 should know multiplication facts. All students should be able to read on their grade level. It takes all of us working together to help make your child successful in the classroom, home, and life. Thank you for your help with this matter. Set some family goals with your children that pertain to academics but also life. For example: Read one book per month as a family, spend time playing board games, exercise as a family, etc.
Ask your child what their goals are that they have gone over with their teachers.
CONTINUED................... Keep bringing in your change to help make change in our Community!
