Dear Stenwood Families,
Right now we are having our annual SCA Winter Accessories Drive for our sister school Graham Road. It seems hard to believe with our 90 degree days that the cold weather is fast approaching. We will be collecting items through October 18th.
This Friday is sporty day from start to finish! We will have field day during the day and the Harlem Wizards game starring our own Ms. Craig and Mr. Saruul at night! More information below if you are still hoping to buy tickets. Thank you to all of our parent volunteers on Friday for field day - we couldn’t do it without you!
Just a reminder that Monday is a holiday for students. We hope you all enjoy your three day weekend!
Sincerely,
Erica Riley, Principal
Meredith Mitchell, Assistant Principal
