Hello Families! Welcome to the last week of April. Impossible! This week we wrap up our Read A Thon fundraiser with the big raffle the kids have been waiting for! With your support and generosity, we raised just over $12,000 for our school. Absolutely amazing! We are also continuing our Pennies for Patients fundraiser. It is a wonderful cause and a little goes a long way. Click below for the latest video made by our Leadership kids. They are doing such a great job!

Happy Sunday Families!! The temperature is going to rise quickly, but these last couple weeks have been gorgeous! Last Thursday night, my kids and I went to the West Park High School football game to check it out and watch daddy coach! It happened to be first game they allowed students to attend. I just have to say it was amazing! A true sense of normal. At one point, my 7th grader leaned over and said, 'I have missed this so much.' In this last year, I think we have all gained a new appreciation for things we may have taken for granted. A good reminder not to forget to appreciate and recognize the little things. 

Pennies for Patients: This week we kick off our annual Pennies for Patients campaign. All donations will be online this year. Your child's teacher will be sharing information about how to donate. This campaign hits too close to home this time around. My son's friend was diagnosed with Lymphoma last week. As we all know, you never know who or when it will hit, but I think we can all agree that cancer sucks! 

Read A Thon: We are closing up our awesome Read A Thon! It was a joy to see the students so excited to share their reading. Remember, if we hit $10k, I will do the ice bucket challenge. Eek! As of Friday afternoon, if each student brought in one dollar, we would hit it! 

Book Fair: Thank you for supporting the Book fair! It was a huge success. A HUGE thank you to Mrs. Caines for working so hard putting it together. Mrs. Caines also had some shout outs for our students:

I want to give a BIG shout out to the students here at Stoneridge.

They have been doing a great job at the Book fair. They have used valuable Math and negotiating skills to decide if they have enough money to purchase what they want.

Making first and second choices or listening to recommendations for book choices.

Also, a very BIG shout out to Isabella Burns and Julia Duong for coming each day and buying their teacher and former teachers books for their classrooms!!!

Have a wonderful week!
