A Note from the Principal
Dear families,
It appears as if our toasty warm November is coming to an end next week. Please please prepare students with full winter gear for recess beginning Monday! We will be outdoors every day, and students need coat and mittens, plus snowpants and boots as soon as snow hits the ground.
If you're in need of help with winter gear, please let your child's teacher know. We have many generous partners willing to help!
Family Homework:
Please let us know if you were able to make it to conferences! We want to know how things went for all our families, even if you weren't able to make it to a conference. Visit tinyurl.com/tellusSB to give us some quick feedback! We need at least 15 more families to respond.
As usual, if you need anything at all, please feel free to call, text, or email: (231) 534-4439 or fehrenbachs@suttonsbayschools.com.
-Shelagh Fehrenbach, principal

Invitation: Winter Concerts
Dear Suttons Bay Families,
We are so excited to extend an invitation to our Winter Concert, this is going to be a very exciting event with musical performances from our after school choir/musical group, select High School students, Middle School Performance Arts class, and Elementary students. We want you to have the date and times of the concert now so that you can plan which performances you would like to attend. Because there is limited space in the Auditorium, we ask that you try and attend just one of the performances so that as many families as possible can attend. Any parents, grandparents, family members, or friends that can attend the afternoon concert are encouraged to do so as there will likely be more space available.
December 15th Day 2pm & Evening 7pm Performance
At Suttons Bay Auditorium
$5 Suggested Donation at the Door
We look forward to seeing you at the show!
