Parents,
This Saturday April 1st from 10am - 12pm we will be working in our Butterfly Garden in honor of Robert Tucholski, who was a student at Sleepy Hollow Elementary School.
You are cordially invited to join us to celebrate and beautify the garden in memory of Robert.
We have special guests that will be attending such as Robert's family, former principal Lisa Barrow, our business partner Long and Foster and Sleepy Hollow staff members.
Feel free to bring
gardening hand tools, rakes, gloves, seeds, bulbs, perennials and any other plant donations you may have.
WE WILL BE HERE RAIN OR SHINE!
Thank you,
Mr. Eric T. Johnson
Principal

In math, students are continuing to solve a variety of
open-ended tasks, using a variety of strategies. Students are working on
communicating their mathematical ideas during daily number talks and as they
work with peers to solve real-world problems.
We are currently hosting a fundraiser for Pennies for Patients,
where students and teachers are bringing in any loose change or dollar bills to
help cure cancer. Many classrooms have incorporated this fundraiser into their
math blocks as they are having students count the money during math stations.
As a school we have already collected over $800! Amazing! Our goal is to reach
$1,500 by April 7 and at this rate we should be hitting our goal in no time!

In celebration of our Music
Madness activity, 5th graders are dressing up as their favorite
artist or genre today. This is just one of many activities students have been involved in this March to celebrate Music.
As we are closing out Music In
Our Schools month, I wanted to take the time to thank you for your support of
the arts in our schools. I truly feel like the Fine Arts are valued at
SHES (and FCPS) and am so thankful your children have the opportunity to
explore these subjects!
