Winter Party
We will be having our winter party on December 18th. The party will last throughout the day with different activities. Below is a sign-up where you can help out. I will only need parent volunteers from 10:10- 11:40 for the party. Anyone is welcome to join us for our party during this time.
We will be having a pizza lunch in our classroom; I am asking that each child send in at least $2.oo to help cover the cost of the pizza. If you would rather your child bring in their own lunch on that day, then no money is required. Please send in the money by Friday, December 11th.
Please copy and paste the link into your browser to help out with crafts, games, and snacks for our Winter Party.

SGE's Family Night with the Pacers
Do you enjoy watching a high-energy game? Do you enjoy a night of fun with friends and family? What if we combined the two?
The Indiana Pacers will be hosting Stonegate Elementary for SGE's Family Night with the Pacers on Friday, December 18th. Families and Staff have an opportunity to purchase discounted tickets that include the seat, hot dog, chips, a soft drink and an opportunity to shoot a FT on the floor after the game. This will be a very fun night and a great way to kick-ff the start of Winter Break. Please consider joining others from the SGE community - families, teachers and staff - in celebrating a night of fellowship and basketball!
The deadline for returning registration forms for our Family Night with the Pacers has been extended until Monday, November 16th. We hope to see you there!
If there are any questions or concerns about SGE's Family Night with the Pacers please contact Steve Strecker (SStrecker@hotmail.com).

We will take the tests in the following order: 2, 10, 3, 11, 4, 5, 6, 9, 7, 8, and 12.
