Suwanee News!
August 13, 2018
I hope everyone had an awesome first week of school. I know I did! I loved having our halls filled with our amazing Jaguars. They are already learning so much, making friends, and creating their classroom community. I'm very proud of each and every one of them.
We have a very important day this week. CURRICULUM NIGHT! This is an opportunity for you to get an overview of the curriculum, connect with your child's teacher, and hear about the exciting events our Suwanee PTA is planning. Parents please go straight to your child's classroom except 2nd grade parents please go to the media center for a team Curriculum Night presentation. Thank you!

PAWS for the PTA Announcements
Did you know that our PTA plans many of your child’s favorite events? The Fall Festival, Jaguar Jog, Arts & International Night, Jaguar Jump Into Summer, 5th grade events, and Spirit Nights wouldn’t be possible without our PTA! The PTA supports SES in so many other ways including awarding grants to teachers to purchase classroom resources, hosting staff appreciation events, and providing volunteer support (Room Parent, Media Center, Book Fair helpers, etc.). And, the PTA funded the new electronic marquee sign in front of the school, the STEM classroom, new Media Center tables and chairs, and fun playground equipment. It’s really amazing when you look at it all together!
5 minutes and $5.00 is all it takes to be a Suwanee PTA member. This year, our goal is 400 members. We already have 203, so we are well on our way! But more importantly, our focus this year is increasing parent engagement. It takes a lot of volunteers to run all of these awesome activities, so if you’ve wondered in the past how you can help—even just for a few hours a year—we need you!
