Sunday, June 4

 

Here we are embarking on the last two days of school. I cannot believe the time has come. These last couple days will be packed with fun and definitely fly by! They also mark my last two days as the principal of Stoneridge. That is the part that is hard to believe. This last year has been one of the best yet. We were able to start bringing back so many fun activities and it was wonderful to have parents on campus again. When I think about my time at Stoneridge from beginning to end, man, we have been through a lot! We worked together, made it through some tough times, and accomplished many great things. That is why this past year was especially great. It felt like we were able to celebrate all we overcame and just do the amazing things we do at Stoneridge. I am lucky to know the next principal, Mrs. Spears, and you are all lucky to have her at Stoneridge. I can't wait to hear about all of the great things you continue to do! 💗


REMINDER: Next Monday, 6/5, and Tuesday, 6/6, are minimum days with kids releases at 12:42. Please add that to your calendar! 


Lunch Help! We would love to have you help at lunch. The kids love having you and you make such a difference! There are only a few days left and it is ok if you have never done it before. 


Lost and Found: All of the lost and found items have been hung in front of the school. Please come look for your items.

This is an exciting time of year but it can also a scary time. Emotions are high as students leave those they love and the routines they have come to know. Summer is exciting and fun, but it also leads to the next year of unknowns. All of these things are completely normal. We all know change is hard. I wanted to share it again in case you are seeing some different behaviors in your child. 

REMINDER: Next Monday, 6/5, and Tuesday, 6/6, are minimum days with kids releases at 12:42. Please add that to your calendar! 

Field Day Thank you! We cannot thank you enough for volunteering to help with field day! It was absolutely amazing. The kids were smiling and squealing the entire time. And a HUGE thank you to Christi Robertson and Beth Eldridge. They put in so much time to make this event seamless. I have to say, I thought this year was smooth as could be! 

Yearbook Signing Party: The yearbook signing party is Wednesday from 8-9am. During this time, the kids spread out in the quad and get their friends to sign their yearbook. They also get to have all of the teachers sign their yearbook too. It is such a fun event! 
We could really use your help! We need some extra hands to help set up, pass out goodies and clean up. The cool part is that everything will be done by 9:30am!

Lunch Help! We would love to have you help at lunch. The kids love having you and you make such a difference! There are only a few days left and it is ok if you have never done it before. 


Lost and Found: All of the lost and found items have been hung in front of the school. Please come look for your items. We will be donating all items on June 2.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you very important women in our Stoneridge community! And that is to all of you who play a role of guidance, stability and love in the lives of our students. We appreciate you and know your loved ones will spoil you today. 💖

THE HUGEST BIGGEST THANK YOU EVER to everyone who made the Carnival happen and it was so incredible. So many of you stepped up in different ways and we appreciate the teamwork that made it happen. The kids had so much fun and will never forget it. Toto, the Timberwolf, even made an appearance and the kids squealed in delight. This was the perfect culmination to an amazing year! 


Check out these pictures that Mr. Hinh took. He is such a talented photographer and does a great job of capturing the excitement of our events: 22/23 Carnival Pictures

Thank you all for a wonderful Teacher Appreciation Week! Everyone felt your love and appreciation! Also, a HUGE thank you to our PTC. They went all out in organizing this week of giving. We also appreciate each of you. The way you support our school and offer your time to volunteer is unmatched. Stoneridge is a special place!

Carnival is this Friday! We can't wait to have this exciting end of the year event to have so much fun with family and friends from our Stoneridge Pack. Carnival includes multiple bounce houses (for every age), 10+ Game Booths, Face Painting, multiple picture booths, Pizza and Hot Dogs, Cotton Candy, Popsicles, tons of vendors showcasing their businesses and selling merchandise! Each grade has created a silent auction basket too! This event is going to be the biggest Stoneridge has seen and epic in proportion. Don't miss your opportunity for a pre-sale option to get through the line quicker at the  ONLY entrance located on the upper grade side. This is the ONLY entrance to Carnival, so be prepared to walk over to the large gate to enter campus from wherever you park on Friday.  


We can't do it all though without volunteers! Each parent/family volunteer will earn a FREE wristband for their student(s). That's saving at least $10 or even more! Please sign up for a slot now so we can have ALL the activities open during Carnival. We seriously don't want to caution tape off and close a booth or inflatable just because we couldn't get people to help.  Thank you for signing up today!



There's only a few XS and Small T-shirt bundle Meal Deals left to purchase (We're sold out of M/L/XL T-shirt deals) but plenty of pre-orders for a wristband and food for Carnival. The link and store closes Wednesday night at midnight for pre-orders. There's no exceptions to this so PTC can get a pretty good pre-order food count. Don't worry, you can purchase wristbands and food at the front booth at Carnival on Friday.

What a beautiful weekend! It is funny how we often say how hot it is the first few days it hits 80 degrees. But we all know, the real heat will be here soon. We all adjust and make it work. 

This weekend was full of many games for the Brooks. We lucked out and the games were back to back. The good news is that we could see the games of all of our three kids. The bad news is that Saturday was 11:30-6:30 and Sunday 11am-5pm. Truthfully, it is not bad news at all. We love it! And I know that all of you can relate. This is a season in life that often feels tough, but man, we will miss it when it is gone.

April Meeting Notes:

By a unanimous 2022-23 Board Member vote, the following 2023/24 New Board was voted in on Thursday.  We will continue to search for VP of Events & VP of Fundraising and are excited to provide you another list of Board Positions & Chair Leads/Positions with descriptions and time commitments like the teachers requested in a PDF attached here. Thank you SO much for promoting this ASAP and as positions get filled, I'll narrow the list down with the volunteer names and positions still needed.  The goal is to keep promoting unfilled positions to get people in place for Janine, David, and Stefanie before the end of the school year and so the current board can cross train and get them all set up.  The current board also offered to help over the summer with them and the new Principal to make this transition the best we can. With all that said, another CONGRATULATIONS Janine, David & Stefanie!
For the May meeting we'll have their Bio's and a PDF for the teachers to send to parents introducing the new board and other chair leads too!

New PTC Board is looking to recruit volunteers for events and positions now before next year. Thank you for taking a look at all the fun, cool things a parent(s) can do with minimal time. Please send forms back to teachers or email your interest/form to stoneridgeptc1@gmail.com.
