Message from Mrs. Erenstoft
Surfside Family,
- We have educated 442 proud Panthers.
- We started with 117 e-learners, and as of this week, we are down to 68.
- In the cafeteria, we served 3,445 breakfasts and 5,443 lunches.
- Our staff opened a second lunch location to ensure that students are safely socially distanced while eating.
- To date, we have raised $997.50 on the Save Around Fundraiser. You can continue to buy books if you would like to.Thank you for your support!
- Surfside welcomed back over 20 chickens, five ducks, two roosters, two turkeys, two goats (temporarily) and one Elmer (tortoise). And a partridge in a pear tree....
This school year is challenging, but our staff continues to rise to the challenge. I could not be prouder of our teachers and staff. They remain positive and focused on the success and well being of our students. They are the backbone of this school, and remain strong because of the unwavering support of the Satellite Beach community. I would encourage you or your student to write a note or draw a picture for a teacher or staff member, letting them know that they are appreciated. Daily they rise to the occasion, conquering new obstacles, all for the benefit of our kids. Please join us in thanking them for their dedication and guidance.
I continue to be humbled to serve as your principal. I'm thrilled to get to work with your kids on a daily basis. Our theme this year is, "One Team, One Heart, Surfside Strong." We may not be able to have visitors or volunteers on our campus yet, but we know we are supported by our community and families. Thank you for your continued support, flexibility and grace as we navigate the unique school year.
Kindest Regards,
Mrs. Erenstoft
It is Red Ribbon Week!
