Hello Families!

REMINDER: Minimum Day this Thursday, March 28 because we have Open House! 


Please remind your children to let their teacher know if they will be buying lunch. We have had a problem with many more students choosing to buy lunch than have signed up to buy, so some days kids don't get what they ordered. We are also making sure there is not a glitch with entering the numbers on our end. Just checking all angles! Thank you! 


This week is BOOK FAIR WEEK! 


We need volunteers to help with the Book Fair.

Happy Monday Stoneridge! 

Last week we had a great time celebrating Storybook Character Day! Leave it up to the incredible Stoneridge staff to go ALL out!! 


Not only did the staff look great, but the kids looked great as well! 

This week, on Wednesday, March 13th, we are lucky enough to have our very own parent and author, Jesse Bennett, come spend time talking to our students. She is kind enough to share the profits from her book sales with our school and excited to have lunch with any student that buys her book. 
There are fliers in the front office, if you are interested. 


Also, THIS FRIDAY, the event we have been waiting for: Betting on the Arts
Our teachers are so thankful that the PTC puts in so much work on this incredible event. 
There is a special raffle for those who buy their tickets by this Tuesday at 5pm. Buy your tickets!! 

As way to say 'Thank You' for buying your tickets to our 4th Annual Casino Night - Betting on the Arts, we are going to hold a special raffle. Anyone who purchases tickets by this Tuesday, March  at 5:00 (including all previous purchases) will automatically be entered into a drawing to win two additional tickets to the event! We will draw five winners on Tuesday at 5:30 PM. Winners will be contacted right away so they can bring their friends and neighbors!


Have a great week!

Friday, March 1st

Wow! Can you believe it is March already?

IMPORTANT: Wednesday, March 6th is a Minimum Day for ALL students!!

We have had another great week at Stoneridge!


Emma Sumner, who is currently in 5th grade, wrote a book at the age of 8. We were lucky enough to have her share her story with Stoneridge. She was truly an inspiration to our students. As you can see, we had many excited readers!

Then, our very own Stoneridge parent, Mr. Bartlett- a pilot, came to talk to our third grade students who have been learning about the four forces of flight. They were so interested to learn about flying a real plane!

There are a lot of things coming up at Stoneridge:
TONIGHT!! Spirit Night at Mountain Mike's Pizza in Granite Bay. You can dine in, take out or get it delivered. Don't forget to use your jog-a-thon certificate! Dinner✔

Wednesday- STORYBOOK CHARACTER DAY! Get your costumes ready this weekend.

On March 13, we are lucky enough to have Jesse Bennett share her book with us. 
The Yoga House shares lessons of kindness, peace and gratitude for families.
It is an invitation to welcome mindfulness into your home and celebrate the love you have for your children and your family.
The story encourages you to dream big and shine bright, see the worlds magic, and be grateful for those you love.

Jesse is giving 25% back of each book sold back to Stoneridge! The class that purchases the most copies of The Yoga House will win a yoga class with Jesse and a fun yoga craft! 

Pre- Order your book to have it signed for your child! There will be books available for purchase on March 13th!

Jesse Bennett is a Stoneridge mom of 2! She loves this community and sharing yoga + mindfulness with children!
