Food Drive Results
I can’t thank you all enough for contributing to my service project! It was a HUGE success! Mobile Hope was super grateful for the donations that we brought them, and I’m also super grateful to get so much help from the community! I was able to deliver the food on President’s day, and they couldn’t believe how much food we brought. I’ve included a picture of everything I was able to collect, and again... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

PTSO Minutes & Yard Signs
This week the PTSO is working on yard signs for all of our staff members to take home. We are doing this to recognize them for their hard work and to show them our appreciation during an extraordinarily difficult and unprecedented time. We need help from our Stone Bridge community and we are asking parents to join us and "sponsor a sign". The cost is $10 per sign and you can also include a note of encouragement or appreciation. Please go to this link to complete the google form and submit payment: https://forms.gle/i9BUvppMAPKdNcBN7
If you have any questions, email stonebridgeptso.hospitality@gmail.com. We appreciate your help!
CLASS OF 2021 YARD SIGNS
Don't miss your chance to take part in this Stone Bridge tradition. Each Class of 2021 yard sign is personalized with your graduate's name and will be delivered to your front yard if you live within the Stone Bridge attendance boundary. The price is $30 and orders will be accepted until March 8. We expect to deliver the signs in late April. Don't delay - this is your only chance to order the yard sign! More information will be shared soon about other Project Graduation activities.
Go to https://sbangp.ecwid.com/ by March 8 to order a yard sign!
Cards for Cause
We are a student led organization that creates cards and mails them based on submissions we get through our Google form. Please consider writing a nice message for others in the community to increase connectivity amongst individuals. Your message will be turned into a card and sent for you by club members to the organization you choose. Thanks for your support!
