Notes from Stonehedge Elementary
March 6, 2023
Message from Stonehedge Elementary School Principal
Dear Stonehedge Families,
Happy Monday Morning. I hope this finds you well and ready to start a great week. We have lots of exciting things happening at Stonehedge this week. Band is back. Thank you Band Parents for your patience and support. Keep up the hard work 4th grade band students. The Rev "Tour" Theatre Company will be here Friday to perform for our Kindergarten classes. Saturday is PTA Enrichment Day and some of our Chorus members will be performing at the Crunch Game. All that on top of our fascinating daily curriculum and instruction.
We had an awesome week last week, too. Mr. Mercado shaved his head to raise money for the St. Baldrick's Foundation, the Rev Theatre company performed for our 2nd graders and we started our Stonehedge Book club! Check out pictures from "Around School" below!
It's a great day to be a Wildcat!
