Young Authors’ Night - Thurs. 2/9 from 6 - 7pm @ SLES

Please join the SLES community in A Celebration of Young Authors!

Starting at 6pm, have your students escort you through the hallways and classroom displays, participate in the evening by completing a giant mad lib at the end of Hallway C, suggest a word for the Wondrous Word Wall by Door 4, and write a letter in the Reading Room or a poem in the Library.

As your final activity, stop by the cafeteria for a sweet treat and view photos of young authors at work!

** Desserts Needed! Young Authors’ Night Dessert Potluck **

The PTA is organizing a dessert potluck table in the cafeteria to help our authors celebrate with a yummy treat!  If you would like to contribute please sign up here: https://signup.com/client/invitation2/secure/987002739732704059/false#/invitation

Spelling Bee Judges Needed! - Mon. 2/27 @ 6pm

We are in need of 3 judges for the school-wide spelling bee on 2/27 at 6pm.  Training will be provided.  Please email Kim John if you are interested in being a judge at volunteers@slpta.org

 

Lost and Found - Please Label Items!

SLES plans to donate all Lost and Found items at the end of each month. If items (jackets, hats, scarves, water bottles, etc.) are labeled with a student name, the school can try to return those items to your student once it turns up in Lost & Found. Students will also know which items belong to them when looking through the Lost and Found.

 

Got Talent? D3 Showcase Co-Chair Needed!

The PTA is searching for a volunteer to join our D3 Showcase team as co-chair.  This individual will lead the talent show planning and day of coordination with current co-chair Holly Ferry.  The talent show is being scheduled for March/April.  Please email Kimberly John at volunteers@slpta.org if interested.
