Principal's Corner
SLS students recently raised money to purchase books for kids from birth -18 years old at Christmas by participating in Penny Wars. With everyone's help, we were able to raise enough money to help 180+ kids, and had a great time doing it! Thanks to all who supported the penny wars and Families Helping Families. Also, a big thank you to the "winners" of our contest, Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Roell, for being such great sports!

REMINDER: Outdoor Recess Dress Code
Knowing that outdoor activity is crucial to a healthy lifestyle, we will go outside for recess every day that we can. But living in Indiana requires adaptability to frequent weather changes. Please watch/listen to local weather reports to help your child dress according to our guidelines below. Clothing Guidelines for Recess
*60 – 69 degrees - Jacket or long sleeves recommended
*40 – 59 degrees - Coat recommended
*30 – 39 degrees - Coat required.
*29 degrees & below - Coat required with hat & gloves recommended.
*19 degrees & below - No outdoor recess.
Students with no coat will either be provided one or stay inside. *These temperatures represent the wind chill factor. For example, it may actually be 40 degrees, but because of the wind, it feels like 28. Please use the wind chill “feels like” when referring to the chart above.
Walking to Church - These guidelines apply to walking to church as well.

Giving tree
The SLS Faculty Giving Tree will be offered again this year for those interested in honoring our teachers and staff during the Christmas Season! The Tree will be ready for visitors on Monday, December 3, 2018. Here is how it works:
OPTION 1 (The Tags)
The PTO asks each teacher to list some personal and school items that they would like to receive. Teachers fill out a wish list. Tags are made and displayed on a "tree" bulletin board outside the Kindergarten rooms for parents to select and purchase the item. The tags will stay up until Tuesday, December 18.
OPTION 2 (You want to buy for many teachers)
This option is popular for those families that wish to honor several teachers. Using the attached form, select the teachers you would like to honor, and send it back to the office with any amount. This amount will be divided among the teachers that you select. Please make checks payable to "Batesville Chamber of Commerce", as the teachers will receive Batesville Bucks. Place the form and your check in an envelope marked “Giving Tree” and send to the school office by Friday, December 14th, 2018.
Of course, this program is optional, but it's a great way to maximize your gift giving dollars. The teachers get exactly what they want and you save time!! It's a win win! Thanks for participating in this year's giving tree!
Any questions, please call Amy Tonges at 812-212-6702.
