It is hard to believe but it is time to begin preparing for the next school year! Our Kick-Off To Kindergarten Parent Meeting will be Tuesday, April 12 at 6:30. We will meet in the front Activities Room at the elementary and present some information to help you understand the process of enrolling a Kindergarten student. We look forward to seeing you there!
Dear Saranac Elementary Families,
March has officially arrived which means our school will put the focus on Reading! Every March we pick a theme that we plan multiple activities around, this year our theme is, “Books Bring Us Together!” The most important thing you can do to support your child is to help them read! It doesn’t matter what grade level your child is in, there is always something you can help them do.
Below are a few of the activities that we will have taking place in the school:
D.E.A.R. Time Through the month we will play the song, “Come Together” When that song plays, we Drop Everything And Read.
Dress Up Days All dress-up days will be on Wednesdays
March 2 - Good Night Moon, PJ DAY
March 9 - Fox in Socks, Crazy Sock Day
March 16 - Cat in the Hat Day, Hat Day
March 23 - Rainbow Fish Day, grade levels will dress as a color. Your child’s teacher will communicate regarding the color for his/her grade level
March 30 - Favorite Book Character, Dress as your favorite book character
Poster Parade March 25 Students will make a poster displaying their favorite book. We will supply the poster paper. Students will parade around the school on this day at 1:55. Parents are invited to watch the parade. If the weather is bad we will reschedule.
Culminating Activity March 30 We will have grade level assemblies where students will compete in Minute to Win it Games. Every time students earn AR points or complete a book (depending on grade level) they will have an entry entered to participate in the games. Students will be drawn at random to participate.
Happy Reading!
Mike Catrell & Sara Serne
