February Update

With a new month beginning this week, there are a few things we want you to know:

"Soup"er Bowl

Again this year we will have a  Super Bowl canned food drive to support Joshua's Place. Students are asked to bring in one can of soup that they will then use to cast a vote as to who they think will win the NFL Super Bowl this coming weekend.  Wonder who will win this year??? Stay tuned!



School Supplies
Please check your child's school supplies.  Many are starting to run low on pencils and students will need to have a pair of working earbuds/earphones for the upcoming AIR tests in April.  Thank you!


Healthy Reminders

We have unfortunately had quite a few students out recently with various wintertime illnesses.  Just a reminder to please keep your child at home if he/she has a fever or has vomiting or diarrhea.  We are doing our best to keep the classrooms clean, but reminders of good hygiene, including hand washing and covering mouth when coughing/sneezing are also appreciated.  

START WITH HELLO WEEK! 

SLE is excited to be participating in "Start with Hello" week again this year! The week of February 5th - 9th, we will join other schools around the country to focus on raising awareness about social isolation. "Start with Hello" is an initiative of the Sandy Hook Promise and educates students on the importance of connecting with others, even if it's simply by saying "Hello." We have several fun activities planned for the week, and we will be asking students to wear their "Choose Kindness" t-shirts on Friday, February 9th. Be sure to look for pictures on social media using #SLEstartwithhello.

March Madness is March 16!
The PTO planning committee is gearing up for March Madness! Again this year we will have the Class Basket Raffle.  This is always a big hit! Please note the theme of your child's class basket listed below.  Donations are greatly appreciated as this is always a huge money maker for the PTO.  Remember all money made stays right here at SLE to purchase items for the school and provide programs for the students.
