Spring Garden Elementary PTA
May 2nd
The countdown is on ... but we have lots of things left in the year. Next Monday through Wednesday, 3rd through 6th graders will be taking the STAAR test. Tomorrow, May 3rd, the students will get a special treat of having a motivation speaker come in with a amazing "You Can Do It" show. And although the campus will be on shut-down Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, we need to send the students in on a good start. If you are available, we would love for you to join us at the front door with a encouraging poster or just a high five for the students. The buses arrive at 7:20 and we will be welcoming the students in until 8:00 am. These testing days are difficult and we want to send the students and teachers into class with a smile and little encouragement to show them we are behind them. Please join us to support our students!!!
PTA meeting
There will be a special meeting on Tuesday, May 31st at 8:30 am in the SGE library. This meeting will be held to approve changes to the PTA bylaws and standing rules. SGE PTA would like to add a VP of hospitality position to the bylaws and realign the committees in the standing rules with the addition to this VP Position.
All members are welcome to both of these meetings. If you have any questions prior to the meetings, please contact Crystal Sadler, PTA President, at csadler@mcbctx.org
May 2nd - 6th
Spring Garden Elementary is so lucky to have the amazing faculty and staff that we have. Now it is time to honor them for all their hard work, love and dedication that they have put into teaching our children.
During the week we have suggested themes for each day, if you would like to show your appreciation to the teachers and staff....
Monday: Thank you for helping us reach for the STARS! (Bring a “STAR” to your teacher: Starbursts, Starbucks, etc.)
Tuesday: Thanks for helping us GROW! (Bring your teacher something that grows! Plant, plant seed, flower, etc.)
Wednesday: Thank you for helping us WRITE a chapter in our story! (Bring a pen, marker, pencil, notepad, etc.)
Thursday: HANDS DOWN, you’re the best teacher around! (Take your teacher some antibacterial soap, hand lotion, hand wipes, etc.)
Friday: You are a JAR of fun! (Fill a mason jar, or similar, with fun things that remind you of your teacher with a quirky note! Favorite cookie recipe, jar of candy, jar of supplies, etc. Get fun!)
Field Day
Field day is set for Thursday, May 12th and Friday, May 13th. We will have more details on schedule as we get closer.
