Message from the Principal
Dear Slate Hill families,
A BIG THANK YOU to all the families who participated in Parent Teacher Conferences this week, as well as the Book Fair! The staff loved all of the goodies at the Super Bowl Themed conference dinner.
Please follow the directions of the staff members on duty for your safety, your child's safety and the staff's safety! Remember to pull all the way down when in the car rider line in the back at dismissal and please go "in the in" and "out the out" during dismissal so that they busses and day care vans may exit safely.
I was also asked to include the next information to help identify the amount of interest in girls' golf in Worthington. If your daughter is interested in golf, and has the desire to attend a golf camp and/or currently plays, please fill out this quick informational survey (click link). Thank you for your help with this.
Enjoy the week,
Julie

The 2023 Finley's Smile 5K & Smile Mile is coming! Join us on Sunday, April 23rd to support our organization, Finley's Smile. Register at: https://racepenguin.com/events/finleysmile5k/
Finley's Smile is a nonprofit that was created by Kristin and Tyler Hollinger after their daughter, Finley Grace passed away in 2016. The Finley's Smile 5K & Smile Mile is the primary fundraiser for the organization. The goal of Finley's Smile is to provide fun, authentic and meaningful experiences for children, while encouraging families to spend time together. Some of the projects funded by Finley's Smile include the Games in Schools program at Slate Hill Elementary (as well as other Worthington Schools). This program provides students with the opportunity to check out board games from the school library to enjoy with their families. Finley's Smile has also provided over $40,000 through our Love, Play, Smile grant. This grant goes to support other nonprofit organizations who share their vision to provide children and their families/caregivers with fun, background building experiences!
