Chromebooks

Hello Parents,
Beginning in the next week or two, our students will be using the new Google Chromebooks during scheduled times. We will have the opportunity to practice many skills related to basic computer operations. We are hoping it will begin to prepare them for the middle school 1:1 laptop program. A few things that we will be able to do with the Chromebooks are:
             - Typing and keyboarding practice
             - Internet searches related to the curriculum
             - Becoming familiar with office applications
We are very excited that we will get the opportunity to use this new technology in our classroom. More info to come.

Hello Parents,
Please read on for exciting news about our GALA!

Annual Gala Friday, October 17, 5:00-9:00 PM:  

Hello, are you coming?! Clearly everyone should be attending if you can. So, buy your tickets online!  We are very excited as this year is a black and white event, formal wear not required.  We have a tremendous amount of baskets for bidding, food and wine, music and dancing!  All proceeds go the building fund for our gymnasium and baseball field. We have a GREAT time every year as it gives all of us an opportunity to socialize without the kids in tow.   Need a babysitter?  Contact us and we can connect you with some names of high school students.

Purchase your tickets online.

GALA

Hello Parents,

Happy Thursday! The GALA is quickly approaching. I wanted to thank you for all of the donations that have been sent so far. It is not too late. We will be collecting donations through the coming week. It is a great way to support the school. All of the auction money from our classroom baskets will go towards the school and will help with our building fund for the gymnasium. The gymnasium will be a great addition to SRA and will allow a place for sports, events and assemblies, and provide an opportunity for the students to get relief from the weather during the summer and winter months. Our theme is Family Fun Gift Cards. Any gift cards that will allow the family a fun night out together is what we are looking for. This includes restaurants, family fun centers, and yogurt. Thank you again parents for your support and I know our classroom will have an amazing basket to donate for our auctions! Have a wonderful day.

Congratulations to our September Award Recipients!
