September 18 #rockyourschool #jog #monsterdash

You're invited! Please join us for our first ever Evening with the Principal & PTC Night  this Wednesday in the multi! We are hosting two sessions-- one from 5:00-6:15 and the other from 6:30-7:45. Choose the best time for you! The information will be the same at both sessions. Come and learn all about our school, meet the PTC board, and find out about all  of the ways you can get involved in our Stoneridge community. There will be an informational presentation and then time for breakout groups for different events and committees within our school. We look forward to seeing you!

Then... on September 20th we are ready to join  thousands of schools around the globe for #rockyourschool day! Our teachers love to engage our students in learning everyday, but this Thursday they will be cranking it up a notch in a school-wide and world-wide EPIC day of learning! We can't wait for the kids to see what they have planned!

What is the Jog-A-Thon Video Competition?

Our Stoneridge Jog-A-Thon Video Competition challenges our students to make a video to promote Jog-A-Thon! Students can work alone or in teams. They can act it out, make a stop motion video, music video, etc. to create an advertisement about Jog-A-Thon to help Stoneridge reach our $40,000 fundraising goal!

Monster Dash Jog A Thon

Wednesday, October 17, 2018

Here are our goals for this year's jog-a-thon!

We are hoping to raise $40,000 - If each student raises $75 we will surpass our goal, which will allow us to:

• Buy 3 Chromebook Carts
• Buy 10-12 ipads
• Have 1:3 ratio of devices / children (we are currently at 1 device to 5.4 children - 120 devices for 650 students)
• Additional funds will be equally divided for each branch of our STEAM program!

This year we will be working toward schoolwide goals and have schoolwide prizes!

You can help! We need parent volunteers! Please sign up on our signup genius. (https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0f4aafa62ba6f85-stoneridge)
