Happy Halloween from the Stoneridge Staff!! We had so much fun at our Harvest Parade and know the kids did too. We wish you all a safe and wonderful evening! 🎃

It was a big week at Stoneridge! 

Our 5th graders had a 'Book Tasting.' They perused through books of all different genres and had a blast while exploring literature. One of the students asked me what they did to deserve this party. I said, this isn't a party, this is learning!! My heart couldn't have been happier!! The teachers put hours of work into making this such a magical experience! 

The Bernhard Museum came to Stoneridge. The 3rd graders were so lucky to have this experience. A wonderful memory they will never forget. A huge thank you to the teachers and parent volunteers that made this a huge success!! 

And finally, the Harvest Parade! The parade was awesome!! I have zero pictures of the parade, so this one of the office lemons will have to do! 🍋

The Scholastic Book Fair is Here! Our classes will be previewing the book fair on Monday and Tuesday to check out all the amazing books we have available to purchase. Your child will come home with a wish list. I am excited to announce we will be able to open the book fair earlier than expected! The book fair will now be open from October 27th-November 5th during school hours.  All proceeds from the book fair go directly to improving our school library! Please take advantage of the E-Wallet option that scholastic has. It's a great cashless option for your students to shop, and other family members can add funds to your child's E-Wallet! Go to scholastic.com/fair to find our school.

Birthday Board: The Birthday Board is back!! Yay!! The marquee on Alexandra is to announce student birthdays. If you would like to have your child's name on the board, go to stoneridgeshop.com and purchase the birthday board! 

Lymphoma and Leukemia Society Fundraising: As always, we have the most generous community. We love to give back and help others. Here is the link to make a donation. Our school goal is $1500. It is not too late to donate! And the Light the Night Walk is November 6th. We have a Stoneridge Team participating. See the link for more info!

See below for a message from some past Stoneridge students that are now at Eich. they want to include Stoneridge in their community project:

Hello Stoneridge parents! We have a group of 3 eighth graders, Shakeela McCay, Payton Henry, and Kaitlyn Kuznetsov, from Eich Middle School who, for their Community Project, wish to share their love of art with young students. They have decided to host free art classes after school, every Tuesday for 4 weeks starting on November 9th, and ending on December 7th (excluding the week of Thanksgiving break). There will be 25 spots available, first come first served. **Available only to grades 3-5** 

Classes will last for an hour from 3:15 to 4:15 (please make sure your child is picked up by 4:30). An exception will be made the Tuesday of Conference Week (November 16th), where classes will go from 12:35-1:35 and students must be picked up by 1:50. These classes will go over drawing people with graphite, watercolor landscapes, animal studies with colored pencils, as well as still life with oil pastels. 

**All supplies will be provided**

Fliers to sign up will be sent out this coming Tuesday on November 2nd and will be due back the following Monday, on the 8th. If your child wishes to join, please make sure the sign up sheet is turned in to the front office by Monday, November 8th, with all areas filled out.

We look forward to seeing you there!
