SUPERHEROES FOR GRAYSON DAY FRIDAY

SUPERHEROES FOR GRAYSON DAY FRIDAY

  • One of our Stingers, Grayson, is undergoing treatments against cancer. Grayson loves superheroes and he dresses up as a different superhero on his treatment day. The other kids undergoing treatment have grown to love seeing what superhero is visiting them on that day. Channel 4 will be doing a story soon on Grayson and how even during his own battle, he is bringing joy to other kids. We'll be sure to update on Class DOJO when this story airs.
  • To show our support for Grayson and his family, let's all dress up as superheroes on Friday! All students can wear a superhero costume, clothing or wear RED or BLUE, the colors of Grayson's favorite, Spiderman.
  • We are so proud of Grayson...he is our very own SCHWEITZER SUPERHERO!

IMPORTANCE OF DAILY ATTENDANCE

  • Help your child be successful at school by getting them to school on time each day. When students are late or unneccessarily miss days of school, it negatively impacts their learning. They miss out on important learning, socializing with friends and they fall out of their daily rountine.
  • We do understand that students get sick sometimes and need to stay home from school to rest and that family emergencies do occur but if your child is healthy, we appreciate families sending their children to school on-time each and every day. Thank you for supporting your child's education!
